I have read many many posts about this process. Most of the threads and resource lists are very out of date. I also think that I am confused about the BT - Bounty/Assassination Service.
I may be the one who is wrong, but I think that BT means that the name of an individual is provided. That individual is assassinated. The Assassin is given a bounty.
If you agree with that definition and are a Merc who is looking for a BT contract please contact me.

You mean "What"? Meaning you would like some more information?
Simple: I pay a price for each "Frozen Corpse" of a very specific individual.
I do not know what other details will help.
Feel free to ask, but please speak in complete sentences.

Correct, that is what I want. I would prefer not to post the name here just because I don't want to be getting contracts forever after.
Yes I would like to hire someone. That is why I posted here. I do not know how to find someone to do it. Everyone I wrote from the resource list said they would not assassinate an individual, they would only wardeck a corp. This person is in a corp, but hangs out in lowsec. Shouldn't be a problem for someone in this line of work.
Any griefers who want a hunt tell me your price per corpse.

Does this help?
Name:
Security: -10.0
Corp: [Yes in a corp if that matters]
Alliance: NONE
Faction: NONE
Ship: Ishkur Frigate
Weapon: Light Ion Blaster II
Is 50 Million Isk per corpse for a player in a frigate overkill?

Yes indeed the corp matters, and if the corp is in an alliance that matters too, if its a large corp/alliance with alot of active players that means more isk up front. I will contact you in game for the details but I promise you its going to be more than 50M.
That is really great to know. Thank you. I obviously don't understand a lot about this. It seems like there are a lot of players in this game just randomly blasting at anyone in lowsec that I didn't think there were any details of concern. I would be very interested to hear why I can't find someone to take a contract for a hit. Everyone would rather declare war on a corp. I would love to understand all of this better.
Back to the point though. Thank you for your response. I look forward to getting your email in game.

If you truly want to punish someone, and you have very deep pockets, hire mercenaries against their corp repeatedly and continuously until the corp either folds or kicks the person(s) you don't like out.
This may or may not work, but it's much more effective an approach than going after an individual.
See this is exactly what I am talking about. People keep coming up with excuses why they won't/can't go after an individual. I really do not understand. I do not want to declare war. I do not want to bring down a corp. I don't want to get them kicked out of their corp. I just want to annoy the F*** out of someone and I want the corpses as mementos.

I understand that about Bounty. Thats why I am not doing this with a bounty. I am actually looking to hire someone to do the job for me, just as though I were doing it. I really can't believe this is so complicated.
OK fine. Give me a price. How much for what you are suggesting and I get ALL the corpses? It is not the service I want, but if this is the only service Merc's offer in EVE or you will just scam me then tell me how much for what you want to do?

Wow
OK yes I understand there are a million ways to rip off a carebear or a newb and there are a lot of people on Eve who only play to embarrass people, or scam people, or collect and post "carebear tears" etc. That is fine. That is part of the game. So let me rephrase my request.
I am strictly a PVE player. For the past 8 months I have been strictly a PVE player. Everyone I know is a PVE player. ALL of my ingame mates are strictly PVE. We do mining ops and research and run fleet missions together. I and all my friends are carebears.
Recently I was podded for the first time in .4 sec while mission running in deadspace. I am not mad, thats part of the game and I read the warning when I entered .4 space. But just like anyone else it would give me a warm fuzzy to get revenge. That is also part of the game. However I am not a PVP character nor will I ever be. I do not know any PVP characters. That is not the game I want to play, but you guys feel free to enjoy it and we will keep playing around you and not falling for your can swaps or taking your bait.
You are right that I could just write to the guy and ask him to buy one of his corpses as a "souvineer" of the first person to pod me, but where is the fun in that? I want to pay someone to catch him with his pants down just like he did to me. He wont cry because getting popped and podded is just part of the game.
Again, you are right I do not know anything about this half of the game. So it is really strange to me that no one wants to pod someone? There are entire threads on here where people brag about podding someone. I do not personally know anyone who goes into any sector below .5 because it is a gaurantee that you eventually get podded. So it may be a security hit, but dont tell me that "No one here will do it" It happens a dozen times a second.
There is obviously a finer point that I do not understand about security levels. I have never had to worry about that. I do not care to. Thats it. I just want revenge on someone who would probably appreciate it. I do not want to be PVP so I would like to hire someone who is...without being scammed.

people that kill for isk usually do so in highsec. Because of this they don't want to take the sec hit to pod someone in lowsec as it can do them a lot of harm when trying to fight people in highsec and therefor make money.
Maybe this is the part I don't really get when it comes to PVP. In my eyes you are all the same. In reality there might be a method to the madness. Despite what Jimer has said there are plenty of people who will pod someone. Hell the game even warns that you should ALWAYS have an up to date clone. So there are a lot of poeple doing it. Maybe they just arent the people who do it for money. They aren't mercenaries. Which just seems weird to me.
I was told to try to hire an individual rather than a corp because it would probably be cheaper. After reading Jimer and Bellum's posts it also seems obvious that the reputation of Mercenary Corps is that if there is an opportunity to scam someone rather than doing what you are contracted to do then they will take it without hesitation. I think that is a pretty good verification of your reputation.

Having said that, I have a lowsec pirate that could always do with some isk. Please can you evemail Lana Torrin the details and preferably the region they hang out in (im not about to jumping all the way over the universe just for one kill). And by details this includes as much intel as you can (number of gang members hes usualy hanging out with is a good start)
Thanks for the interest. I can write in game this evening and see if you would like to take it on.

Next time you get ganked in lowsec start spamming the warp button until your pod is warping :P 90% of the time you'll avoid being podded :P
LOL Thanks! Like I said it was the first time it had happened so I wasnt really sure what was going on. I have lost many ships in missions, but really didn't know what to do in this situation. Clone was up to date and I don't mind replacing the ship. I am a little miffed about losing my set of Standard Implants but I got my moneys worth out of them.
It's the podding that confuses me. No one can tell me what is gained by podding someone. Everyone on the MERCENARY forums says podding is too big of a security hit we wont do it. The only reason to pod someone is to cause grief. So while pirates always say that they are not griefers and just part of the game like everyone else I cant see another reason to destroy a set of implants. But like I said this is a part of the game I don't understand.

Sorry if it seemed like I was impugning anyone- I mostly meant to communicate the risks of going with such a tack, not calling out anyone specifically. :) Apologies if it came across that way.[/quote
Thanks. I have heard good things about Noir too. I am sure you are all really great at Destroying Corps and Alliances or whatever. Your suggestions for how to make a player suffer seemed very knowledgeable. I am just out of my element and annoyed that this is so much more of a hassle than I expected it to be.

what your doing wrong is going after the individual instead of his corp.
Anyone who pvps alot loses ships and gets podded, its an occupational hazard, and doing that to him will hardly be revenge.
Revenge is when he and his corpmates cant undock for a week without dying.
Revenge is when all his corp assets like player owned stations have been destroyed.
Revenge is when you find out if this guy has an alt corp and if he does go after that as well.
The more you find out about this guy the more damage you can do too him.
Mercs can find intell but that wastes time that could be spent destroying his corps assests.
If you a serious about revenge here is what I suggest.
Hire a decent merc corp for a one week contract. If these guys are not going to fight back much and you want them camped in, hiring the same merc corp for longer than a week would probelry get diminishing returns
Once the contract is up you could make an alt and contact the guy who killed you.
Explain you hired the mercs because he killed your ship and that he should pay you the value of your loss.
If he refuses then hire some more mercs.
You are right. This is a PVP guy and losing a ship/clone wont be a big deal to him. It really wasn't all that big a deal for me to lost the ship either. I would just get a moments satisfaction out of this and then I will return to my normal day to day PVE Game. So yes, fine, it isn't actually revenge because we aren't even playing the same game. It is just an eye for an eye thing and would make me feel better that there was some sort of consequence to his actions (not a HUGE consequence just some as opposed to none)
If you had asked me right after it had happened if I would be interested in screwing up his life, the life of his corp, the lives of his parents, kids and pets, I might have responded differently :) The return on the investment is horrible though. I think we are all agreeing. This is not the job for a Merc corp. It the job of an individual who would enjoy the hunt for someone specific. I just was confused because most of the Corps on the Forum resource list offfered BT as a service and I misunderstood what that was.
