THIS WEEK'S DEBATE!
A lot of threads have been made in the Game Forum concerning anonymous hitlistings. What are your views on this peticular feature and do you believe anonymous hitlistings help/hurt the game and why? What would you like to see added/removed to the hitlists feature to make it more interesting?




"Why add or remove, anonymous hitlists are fine I guess. But maybe some kind of heat option. So the hitlister can stay anonymous for a couple of hours/days and then becomes visible."
~ Pjotrotter

"I think Anonymous Hitlistings should stay in the game. However, perhaps it would be cool to add to the points store, the ability to purchase a Private Detective to find out who hitlisted the person (search for less than 4 hours). I would also like to see the ability to add points as the bounty, in addition to cash."

"I'm not a fan of them because it hides the identity of the hitlister however if you are prepared to spend that extra money to be hidden then I think it's a good feature especially if you're the hitlister who just wants a certain person dead."
~ UnlimitedDistraction

"Anonymous hitlist shows how coward you are yourself. If you hitlist someone for alot of money you should show your name. So, Anonymous hitlisting is being a coward."
~ SuperLegendV2

"I think it's good if someone is underground and really have to get rid of someone, otherwise I think it's a haven for people without enough guts to hate on someone and admit it."
~ BrownPaperBag

(in reference to Pjotrotter's comment)"That's actually a very good idea. It'll also give them an extra incentive to make the hitlist amount bigger to get the user killed more quickly. If he doesn't he'll run the risk of being found out, wAhich he obviously wouldn't want if he used the anonymous feature to start of with."
~ Airen

"I think you should make it 200k * rank! This is so the big underground hitlisters still can stay anonymous, but the people hitlisting each other for fun will stop! I think we should change the hitlist price at all from 10k to 250k! That stops people talking through the hitlist as well."

"Anonymous hitlists in a mafia game just make sense. If someone is rich enough and they want you dead, that can get that done without you ever knowing who they are. Every great player in BL knows that it's power, usually through points and cash, that means everything here, and NOT rank. However, there's always a way to find out who's screwing you over in the real world, so it'd be nice to see a feature addition that allows you to track down who hitlisted you, just so you can plot some revenge for your next account."
~ Ozkal

"I think that anonymous hitlistings are very important in this game. I can't image the point of having a hitlist on bootleggers, without the anonymous hitlistings. This way of hitlisting is a very good tactic. Get your account (or a money holder) very rich. Then hitlist your victim anonymous. The hitlist target will get killed, and the hitlister gets away with it, without getting killed himself. If he couldn’t hitlist his victim anonymous, he had to kill the victim by himself. What would result in a dead victim, but if the victim does take revenge. The hitlister would die, and lose all his money. They anonymous hitlist must stay! If the anonymous hitltings are going to disappear, then you can better remove the whole hitlist. There is no hitlist without anonymous hitlistings. When are we going to introduce the ability, to add points on the hitlist? Points would be a nice bounty to kill someone too!"
