Tittle says it all.  I would elaborate on this but what would I say?....I think there should be a ws for bg kills that work just like regular ws's for shots taken at members.

My argument is, why have WS's for PP'ing but not BG wacks?  Make no sense.

I've already approached Izzy about this, he says that he will be changing some stuff to make info more balanced when it comes to wacking, including BG wacking.

Never even thought about that aspect Squishy.  Thank you.

Bodyguard wacking is already ridiculously, obscenely underpowered. You can already eat up a city's money more effectively and with less risk by posting hits than shooting their bgs. In the time it takes to train a gun capable of shooting 2-3 bgs before you die, you can earn enough money to post a hit larger than the money damage done by the bodyguard wacking. I see absolutely no reason to make it even easier to find people who shoot bodyguards. It just skews things even more against use of the bg wack feature for anything but "haha someone died, I can +2 my gun off their bgs!"

Heh. Actually, on second thought -- bg witness statements would make sense if every attack on your bodyguards was stealthed in your personals, so the only way to figure out who did it is by tracking down the WS.

That would make things interesting.

In addition to that, make it so NPMs can't catch witness statements. It would be very interesting then.

I hear what you are saying there DeadlySin and agree. With the onset of the pistol range would it be possible for each NPM to have 'random' stats upon creation. By not fully removing their ability to catch witness statements let them roll, if their vision is greater than the attacker a W/S is caught, if not then all they get is ********.
