Pirate Bounties----Subject Header
Actual Body for News post:
As Deputy Director of the TGFT GSS (Guild Security Service) I personally offer the following bounties:
Bounty 1: 5 million credits on tumblemonster since he is the most nototious, nasty, and ugliest pirate.
Bounty 2: 1 million credits on eclipsed since he is the newest member of CLM, to show him the error of his ways.
Said boutnies can only be collected in the following manner:
After the completion of Nation Wars on September 13th, an event will be held to claim these bounties in Sedina B-8.
Said Pirates must be killed 5 times out of 10 fights in a fair one on one fight in my presence to claim the bounty.
If noone kills said pirates 5 times out of 10 fights in a fair one on one fight, said pirates claim the bounty.
Fighting period is to be for 45 minutes maximum. Bounty will be paid to the first person to kill said pirates.
If no one challenges said pirates, no bounty will be paid.
Pirates may not kill pirates to claim this bounty.
Following these battles, a call is being put out to all upright citizens of VO to keep possesion of Sedina B-8
from all Pirate Guilds and independent pirates. A 3 million credit award will be given to the player with most
kills after one hour of fighting, after showing proof of kills on this thread (Pirate or Citizen).

It seems that you do not have buy-in from some essential participants. If you want to just post the bounties, that would work.

If you can make it into a good in-character news item, I'll post it. Currently it involves too many out of game elements to be considered for the News.
I have no idea of what ye are talking about.
So forget about it, ye can clean the thread : )

Thanks.
I would like to post the following for the news:
Xiuhcoatl Industries is now hiring reputable cargo haulers. We are always in need of a Behemoth XC load of something or other as our Industry expands. Prices vary, but we pay up to one million credits per full load and reimburse losses in cases where piracy results in loss of income or property.
Please contact our President and CEO Xiuhcoatl for updates as to what cargo and to where it needs to be delivered.
Thank you!
Xiuhcoatl Industries, L.L.C.
*Note: For dangerous routes where piracy may occur, it is our policy to advise our cargo haulers to pay pirates and then seek reimbursement from our company. This does not however guarantee your safety as pirates are an unpredictable sort. This does however increase the likelihood of a successful delivery and of your survival.

That'll work. Published.
Thanks Whistler!! Can you add the note? (sorry I edited it just as you were publishing)
I don't think a news item about hiring is the place for that, so it seems odd for role play. Seems like something you'd say after hiring. Plus, it's an awkward paragraph.
Perhaps instead something like: "...and reimburse for payments to pirates, or loss of property due to piracy." ?
