I'm not too familiar with PvP mechanics as I have always set myself as a target rather than a hunter. Now that needs to change.

If I want to target a specific player, what are the best ways to go about it?

LOL

Good luck man. Catch a "tiger" by the toe and watch him truce away.

That said there are a few(very few) ways to still mess someone up badly, but I sure as hell will not post them here.

#1: "Never do yourself what you can get someone to do for you." Put a BIG bounty on your target and watch every NPC bounty hunter swarm them. See if it does some damage.

#2: "Swaaaaaaaarm" If you can intercept a cargo convoy in an area where they can't truce out, hit them with a swarm of Phoenixes or Flashes, each with a HMG or Rocket Launcher and expendable gangers. If you want to go more expensive, give each car a pair of HRRs. Charge in close, use terrain cover, and put every shot on one or two Two Axle Lorries. Lorries do not respond well to multiple rocket hits, and often carry lots of valuable cargo. Every unit of food or fuel destroyed is a unit your target isn't going to sell. Your gangers and vehicles aren't going to survive, but if you use zerkers or high-courage recruits, you might be able to ensure that your target recovers nothing but scrap metal. This is a tactic I've contemplated, but never actually put into practice.

#1  Cannot bounty someone with the FKINFKINFKIN: PvP Flag off.

#2 HAHA you over estimate the cost of a truce...grossly overestimate.

Yep.  Now if there was only a way to get a pop-up when a designated player was leaving town...

This is quite frankly pathetic. (not the conversation: the situation)

A thousand times yes. I want this. Exactly this.

Personally I don't even think it should be discussed: it should just be implemented... Finally players would reap what the truly sow (No, I don't mean cheaty-Ambulances).

Time to cull the weak.

The weak are being harvested already, just not in a good way.

Lol be more diplomatic or people will oppose it

It's called Freedom - end arbitrary restrictions and create a atmosphere more positive for the airing of grievances

If your trying to hunt me down, your going to need a 200skill scout or better, and the realization that of the 20 or so bpus I sent out, your only going to get a chance to intercept one maybe 2 from each town because most wont even see a town exit encounter due to the way i have to shuffle squads within the squad limits

What ever happened to ladder events?

Course I am sure you mean in a friendly RP sort of way. Call the bastard(s) out in the RP forums so you avoid the griefing call.

Beyond forum humiliation, not much can be done unless the player is a camp owner. Canmps can be hit with several very sneaky and damaging actions. Most way below the belt. Of course, if your opponent doesnt have the balls to fight, hitting below the belt is painless right.

So, admitting that what you're doing is making it impossible to intercept the majority of your squads? lol. Scum.

40 chances to intercept someone is better odds then 3 or 4.
