Hmmm, my opinion on this is that the bounty is valid. Hawkings had a choice to pocket the 100M from the biggest corp in the game, or do some sort of deal over it. I have to say that the offers from TTi were fairly stingey, but that's beside the point really. One thing that TTi clearly have enough of is cash and asking them not to use it against their enemies is a bit like asking M0o not to use anything bigger than a frigate.

A couple more comments - it was mentioned that there's no way to track a player down in the game to kill them. Well, yes there is - grab yourself a few highish level agents and see how long it takes to track someone down who doesn't move around a lot (eg a miner or a NPC hunter). It's actually remarkably easy, you can even find out what station some logged out in if they're not online. All you need then are some high level (read 4) sec-status repair agents and you're all set for assassinating people who live in or near empire space.

Someone else mentioned that one podding would be enough - well that would not really equate to causing more pain to Hawkings than he'd gain from the 100M. I would say that 100 poddings is probably excessive and not likely to have the desired result in any case. If it were me I'd put a bounty out on information leading to a podding by myself or someone I'd trust. I would also put a bounty on every single member of the corporation he was in when he committed the 'crime', and also make it known that a bounty would be placed on any corporation that would accept him into their ranks in the future. Judging from his posts this is the thing that bothers Hawkings the most, and so it's the weak spot I would attack. But then, I guess I'm far more ruthless than TTi :-)

Ultimately, Hawkings made a valid choice and TTi made a valid decision to attack him using wealth. If people want to accept Hawkings into their ranks to protect him, then that's valid too.
