I have yet another Bodyguard idea. You will be correct to assume that I hate the standing BG system as it is. Most do but no one really mentions things anymore.

My suggestion is to make BGs cost more money and not only that but have them mean more defense too.

Currently it takes roughly 5 kills to shoot through a bg. My suggestion would roughly make BGs around 20-25 kills to shoot through a bodyguard. This would be implemented with the cap of the game's biggest gun and what not. To make it feasible and such. The costs would be MUCH greater for a single BG, and they would go up in tiers. Tier being 1-10 would cost so much 11-20 would cost more and so on until the cap is reached. For example:

Tier 1: 1-10 BGs cost 10 million a piece
Tier 2: 11-20 BGs cost 12 million a piece
Tier 3: 21-30 BGs cost 14 million a piece
Tier 4: 31-40 BGs cost 16 million a piece
Tier 5: 41-50 BGs cost 18 million a piece
Tier 6: 51-60 BGs cost 20 million a piece

(Note: these can be purchased at any rank and will not ever decrease in price no matter what rank you are.)

Again, the cap is updated to keep up with the biggest gun in the game at the moment. The reason to do this is to make the game more alive. Previous to this there used to be a cap of 10 bgs and these could not be shot at. Correct me if I am wrong but it was a pain in the ass to do anything in the game if you had a tyrant (mrevilman). I am not suggesting to make BGs indestructible but this would help fix a lot of the current problems we have as players. Demoting should never be a privilege for a reward and such. Everyone is on the SAME level of game play.

Pros: This system would make everything even and everyone on the same system. No one is special. Hopefully more money is removed from the game. Wars will be fought differently and hopefully a few people with a view or a grudge can make a difference to those whom seem to be invincible. For example a group of people, let's say 10 could bg wave someone and hopefully remove their enemy or such. Make the game more about politics rather than "oh hey I have bgs, and can shoot anyone in the game with 1 shot. fear me dammnit." A rogue with his group of friends can actually do some damage, and no one will be Superman anymore.

Cons: Can't think of too many but the price.

This is simply a blue print and open to any comments. After all it's the PC's job to finalize the game suggestion.
