Bounty

Put bounties on heads and cash in

You can put a bounty on anyone — anonymously, of course. The catch: you can only catch people with a bigger bounty than yours. Get too greedy and you become the prey yourself. Friendships survive this. Mostly.

The rules

• –Start with 10,000 points plus a steady income over time.
• –Anyone can put a bounty on anyone at any time, even multiple times — nobody sees who placed a bounty.
• –You can only catch someone with a bigger bounty than yours. You get everything that was on their head.
• –After a catch: 30 seconds of standing still and invisible. Nobody gets eliminated.
• –Every three minutes the game itself places a bounty on the leader.
• –Market: trade points for gadgets — you can only carry one at a time.

Catching: walk up and tag them. The caught player then shows their code, and the hunter scans it — just being nearby isn't enough.
