Ok folks ive tryd tryd and better tried lol

So if anyone knows how this may be done please let me know

many thanks

People keep track of their own wealth.

Pirates start out with a certain amount depending on rank.
Marines and freelancers also start out with beli, again dependant on rank.
You put it in your bio and then state all spending, and you subtract it from your amount.

Killing folks with bounties gets you a that amount of beli.
If a pirate gets some gold (say by plundering or whatever, the Straw Hats gain treasure on multiple occasions), then the mods decide the amount based on the quality of rp and where it was taken from. Then the captain divides it amongst his crew and they add it to their personal funds.
Seems like the easiest choice.

hmmmm yes, indeed it does

*plots*

the other site that i play on puts it right in their signatures along with all the other information on their characters like their bounty, beli, profession, location and stats.

Not a bad idea. Signature would be a good place to put it.

[Sumaru]

indeed.

OK how about this:

Each persin starts off with 10,000 beli. And for each RP post they gain say 1,000 beli
and simply alte what is in the signature once a week to ensure that it is updated

... along with Bounty
lets say a 50,000 beli bounty to start with, ya know just to make collecting the bounty that little more... tempting
if a pirate gets the bounty they get the beli but also gain 50,000 to their own bounty (to make it EVEN more tempting )

so would anyone like to suggest what all to put in the signatures?

I think it makes sense that Marines and lawful folk get beli per post but I don't think it should work that way for pirates. It makes sense for the others as it would be equivalent to their pay for working and such. But a Pirate should get beli on their plunders alone. With that in mind a system must be made for plundering. How that would go would work in two ways.


Each place that could be robbed from should have a set amount depending on the wealth of the area to be plundered. On top of that there should be missions for pirates, better terms as "maps" or "quests" where treasures and such may be lurking. Depending on the difficulty and such for the quest's design would determine the amount gained if successful. With that being said, the spoils would be split depending on the crew captain's verdict.

I quite like that actually

Let me see... plunders, how about something like:
plunders will be alloted to each island, these are simple boring and basic worth between 5,000 beli and 10,000 for islands in the blues.
then 10,000 to 30,000 in the grand line

let me see... maybe for taking a ship that will give oh lets say 20,000 per crew member + their bounties
oooh if that isnt the cherry on the cake then i dunno lol

[Saul Moriah]

To be frank, these numbers seem kinda low.
Buggy, who was the first "big" villain had a 15,000,000 beli bounty.
Alvida had a 5,000,000 beli bounty.
What about Bellamy? He was nicknamed "The Big Time Rookie", and had 55,000,000 beli on his head.


Oda specifically said that a 10,000 beli shirt was expensive, so if you have 50,000 on your head, you're worth five expensive shirts.

Bounties, at least, for someone like Saul (who just kills for shits) would be between 100,000,000 and 350,000,000 beli. He runs around and just blows off heads, the government wouldn't just make him worth a couple shirts. They'd be like "Fuck this guy, we want him dead."

[Ninta D. Rogan]

I disagree with this. Yeah according to the history stated Saul, and others are quite intense in their own stories. But in all honesty no one thus far has made a name for themselves as a truly deadly force. Yes maybe a few of us are quite strong but IC we have yet to have proven that. I agree that we start with a low bounty, what better motivation is there to prove your Pirate salt? One thing I do think needs adjustment though is the ways to increase bounties.

A bounty should also come with plundering, I apologize I forgot to think of that earlier. Paired with a plunder amount, there would be a bounty increase as a respect factor. If a Pirate accomplishes deeds besides killing another bounty'd Pirate they can still make themselves reputable. Look at Gol D. Roger; he was obviously recognized for strength but his most notable deed was gathering all the treasure to create One Piece to make himself Pirate King.

I do agree though that every Pirate shouldn't start with the same bounty. I would say something like:

D = 5,000,000 Beli.
C = 10,000,000 Beli.
B = 20,000,000 Beli.
A = 40,000,000 Beli.
S = 80,000,000 Beli.

I do not include Z-rank because no user should be able to start at the top level. People may think these are quite low, and I understand the skepticism but it is because if someone wants to be a Pirate then they should EARN the heavy bounties rather than just auto-fill the history with feats they accomplished.

And lastly with acquiring bounty increases with taking out another Pirate. I would say the gained amount would honestly depend on who is fighting. With that in place I say that if someone of lower bounty beats/kills someone of higher bounty their bounty automatically becomes equal to the beaten Pirate's bounty +10,000,000 Beli as you proved to be that Pirate's better. In the case that a Pirate beats another Pirate of a lower bounty, they gain 1/4 of the Pirate's bounty they beat. That's how I see it, at least, seems to be the best way for it to make sense to what we want to do with this site.

[Ninta D. Rogan]

Sry for the double post but there is one more thing. For every "Quest" mission a Pirate may go on there should be a mirrored "Defense" or "Capture" mission for Marines to attempt to intercept or halt the Pirate's goals. This does not mean the Pirates must wait for the Marines to join the mission but just gives the Marines an opportunity to go at it and try and stop the dastardly Pirates

[Sumaru]

oh sorry i was throwing out numbers as random examples lol

now incorporating all that together i recon shall make for a nice beli system making it more inviting for conflicts and get some bad assed fights on the go

[Ninta D. Rogan]

Alright, I am sry, I don't know where my head was at with the bounty numbers, those were VERY low lol, not even Pirate-worthy. Alright in the post I reworked the Beli bounties to still be rather low but make MUCH more sense than before haha. I done goofed a bit there.

[Sumaru]

Aw thanks, no need to go to the trouble of editing, i got what ya ment though

right so it shall soon be time to get all this together and make the list and all that jazz lol
