Edit: In light of some confusion over our name, we have decided to rename our fledgling Bounty Hunter community. We are not officially connected to Freeport Osiris.

By now, most of you have heard of Freeport; that enclave of builders, traders, miners, and peacekeepers who have staked out Osiris (US-East) for their home. It has had its ups and downs, but it still stands strong! Throwing sand into the eyes of the pirates and brigands who would see it fall!

And now to add to the fun, a group of us desert-weary travelers have decided to plant our fortunes in more fertile soil. We call ourselves Bebop District!

Sihnon region is a Tier 3 Remnants biome, directly across the southern Sandwall from Osiris and brimming with opportunities. What it lacks in metals, it makes up for with a rich abundance of Wood and Fuel products. These might not seem like such wonderful assets at the moment, but when update 0.1.4 launches next week they will be worth a whole lot more!

But we’re more than just a glorified gas station. Bebop has a different organizational structure and laws, that we feel work better for an environment such as Worlds Adrift. We do not outlaw violence or “light” piracy, only sinking other ships is a punishable offence. But since we don’t have the manpower to run a 24/7 security team, we have decided to let the free market be our protector. Or in other words…

We are a hub for Bounty Hunters!

Over the past week, our chief programmer has hashed out the most advanced Bounty Hunting tool that Worlds Adrift has ever seen. It is a cleverly designed Discord bot, with powerful features to aid would-be Bounty Hunters. Any player is open to submit a bounty for any other player in the world. Once you have put up the reward, we will hold that reward in escrow until another hunter has sunk them to claim the reward. Just remember that our Heads of Bounty Hunting reserve the right to refuse any job for any reason, and we will not condone “spam” or “harassment” bounties.

“But how will you keep the port safe, with no security?” We pay Bounty Hunters for that, too! Any player sunk within Sihnon airspace may report the offender, and the government of Sihnon will subsidize a bounty for that pirate! And the more that villain sinks others, the greater the prize will grow, until somebody stops them and claims the prize.

What Bebop District is not:

•We are not rebels, outcasts, or rivals with Freeport Osiris.

•We are not affiliated with Freeport Osiris as a political organization, although our members can and do share citizenship with that entity.

•We have a dramatically different political and security philosophy.

•We are not a great place to mine for metal.

What Bebop District is:

•We are a community of folks who don’t wanna die all the time, and would like to work together to prevent that.

•We are open to all; no law prohibits the use of violence or “light” piracy within our airspace. But if you sink someone, expect to receive a price on your head.

•We are a rich supply of Wood and Fuel for Traders interested in the lucrative Osiris market.

•We have the most powerful Bounty Hunting asset in Worlds Adrift, capable of receiving new updates as we learn the needs and desires of our Hunters.

The Rules of Bebop District

•If you sink somebody within Sihnon Airspace, who doesn’t have a bounty on their head, you might receive a bounty on yours.

•If you see an unfamiliar player and wish to be peaceful, use the Sihnon Call-out. Simply shout “CLEAR SKIES!”. If they respond with “HAPPY SAILS!” then you know they are familiar with Bebop and have agreed to be peaceful. Violating a Clear Skies peace agreement is a special crime which results in a special bounty.

•Although we have no law against violence in our airspace, any player you attack might decide to place a Private Bounty on you. Beware!

– Clear Skies and Happy Sails!
