** DVC's Note: This is a draft. I never got to actually polish this for the final revision.
Setting a Bounty
To set a bounty on a player, you must take a screenshot of the player's profile. This can be acquired either through the Rankings page or the in-game profile viewer. Post the picture of the player's profile as either a new thread or a reply to the master thread.
Posting a player for a bounty will do the following:
Bounties have a time limit of 72 hours from the time of posting to offer both bounty and bounty hunter time to acquire points. Bounties can only be claimed by the first person to complete the task; if players work together to complete the bounty, then the points will be split accordingly.
How to Acquire Bounty Points
In this system, it is possible to acquire points as both the bounty and the bounty hunter.
Acquiring points as the bounty
Penalties as the bounty

Penalties as the hunter
What you can do to improve this system
The best way for you to help the bounty board is to think like a bounty hunter. The basic rules of engagement are listed here but if there is a quick and efficient way for you to gain points as the hunter or the hunted then you should use it to the best of your abilities. If the administration watching this board deems that tweaks will be made, then you will be informed about updates to the rules in an update thread.
The Bounty Board
The Bounty Board adds an unofficial element to Army Force Online that rewards players for playing against high level players while promoting fair play and clean socialization among the community.

Posting a player for a bounty will do the following:
- The player who has a bounty set on them will be rewarded with (5 x Player Level) bounty points. i.e. A level 30 player who has a bounty set on them will receive 150 bounty points upon having the bounty set on them.
- The post will provide a time stamp for when the bounty started.
- The post will provide potential hunters with statistical information about who they are hunting, including country of origin, KDR, etc.
