i like it where it just says on the profile "Protected By ????" but not too sure about if u attack them they atomaticly attack you its asif they cant fight there own battles with out attacking there protecter first?

+2 more thumbs up

yeh jay has added it well maybe you can only protect someone or be protected,maybe u could implment items that can cause distractions and cause a slight chance of sneaking past a bodyguard which would make more people try their luck

"There's also the problem of what if your bodyguard has a bodyguard himself, creating an ENDLESS relay of attacks, so if you choose to protect someone if you were protected previously your protection should drop automatically. I also think if you win against the bodyguard it should auto-infirm the protected one for the same amount of time that you would be infirmed if you attacked someone and lost."

I like this idea. If the protected receives the benefit, he should also receive the drawbacks.

I think that the bodyguard initiating would be a must, or the begging would NEVER end....

+ Could you protect more than one person?

If you are a bodyguard you should not be able to have your own bodyguard to limit that endless cycle of bodyguards that jay was talking about. So only 1 bodyguard/protectee arrangement per person. Must be in same prison and bodyguard can't be in the infirm or isolation to be able to protect. Another suggestion is that the arrangement could be setup as a contract for x amount of time (with a limit) so people could sell contracts (that would have to be honored), or so that players couldnt get protection from idle players forever

This is simply a summary of what alot of people said already as well as a blend of my ideas on how it could possibly work so don't get ya panties in a bunch!

Definitely a good idea! protection would obviously be prison based (ex. u can't be the protector of someone in another prison.) The ability to choose the timeframe of how long u want to be protected (ex. maximum allowed 1 day, with the ability to renew bodyguard contract right away if needed.) Negotiate the price of protection as a offer (ex. when the proposal is presented to the requested bodyguard there is already a amount locked in: Event - xxxxx would like to request protection from ya and is offering xxxx eds or xxxx game cash. Accept and youll get your eds, or game cash. deny and offered is dropped. basically having PB the middleman to make sure everyone gets what there asking for). Having the battle transfer right to the bodyguard is a good idea due to the fact that your obviously requesting the protection because u can't fight your own battle for a specific attacker. Protecting more then one person could be a good idea, but a max amount of 3 players maybe (obviously if u got like 10 people to protect and there all getting attacked at the same time, thats alot of strain on the protector (ex: protecter vs. xxxxx - protector wins and obviously stamina goes down, so if thats happening back to back the protector would eventually be down to 0 stamina which makes him very vulerable to lose his next battle to someone 5 lvls lower then him. Ability to automatically renew contract if needed (ex: your bodyguard contract will expire in 5 hr, do you wish to renew your contract with the same payment previously used? then send a even to the bodyguard with the proposal. In order for this system to work i don't think the bodyguard needs to be online (ex. the bodyguard signs up for a protection contract but then something comes up with that person and there offline for like 2 days or something like that. If the contract was already agreed upon you should get what you paid for right?) Same system for the person requesting the protection (ex. it shouldn't matter if your online or offline, if someone attacks you, that person gets sent to the bodyguard to battle)

i dont think payment is reqruired bro i say free! becuase what if your best homie needs soem help protection why would u want to charge ghim eds or cash..? well i wouldn't so i dont think protection payment is required

See, I would think it would need to be, it is another occupation. Just like a runner. If your homie is in need, send him his money back when he pays......

nah this would be to much trouble for mufasa top add paymennt as well and i think its stupid if u want proetction just send the eds if a person asks then why would people want protection why would someone pay like 100 eds or something to only get protected by few hours..? and they might not even get atakced in the mean time so its stupid
