the guy who wants to find out who put the bounty, he has to pay for that information, 50% of the bounty value? Making the info available to everyone kind of defeats the purpose of a contract killer and authorizing a contract.

>You don't want it anymore, fine...he keeps it.

That has no logic whatsoever. You say it like it is OBVIOUS that this is how things MUST be...*roll* Why does everything with you have to be so extreme? Overhead would be a certain % of the total bounty to make things worth it.
As for losing everything if you recall the bounty, thats retarded and unrealistic, from any point of view. 50% would be reasonable, and would also be a lot of money if the sum is great enough.

I like the secrecy part, its nice. Keeps people guessing as to who their enemy is. Could be someone in their own cabal.
