I'm the best at what I do, and what I do ain't pretty.

Okay I had a random thought, hence the word random at the title, but anyway I was thinking, currently the bounty system means that a mod just puts down some NPCs name and the bounty hunter picks that name and, either alone or with some other pcs, roleplays capturing the NPC bounty.
Instead I just had a thought, since we have a lot of other characters what if like once a month or so, we randomly select a person's character and put a bounty on them, for instance on someone's senator character for some conspiracy or another, or a bounty on a smuggler for stealing from the wrong person, etc etc. It would give a lot of us people with bounty hunters more play and also give people something else to do with their senators or smugglers or even Jedi for that matter. People can have their name put on a list of people who wouldn't mind have their characters being hunted down if they're interested and then the mods can just randomly select a name from a list.
As I said just a random thought.

I think this is a good idea, though we would need a roll of those who wish to participate rather than those who don't (we have a lot of inactive characters you know.)

It'd be a bitch to come back to this chat to find your inactive characters dead or imprisoned xD But I also like the idea. How do you suppose we get people's permission to place bounties on them?

Set up a post in the announcement forum for the rosters would probably be the simplest.

Who's gonna do it? I mean, it'd be odd if someone who wasn't a mod put anything at all in the announcement thread

I'll run it past the other mods if they give the nod I'd be happy to run it.

It would probably be best to work this using two different sign-ups, those who want their character to be put up for possible bounties and those who would like to have a go at the monthly bounty hunt. From there it would be down to chance who the target was and who the vying bounty hunters were (there would only be so many allowed due to most people probably wanting a go).
And even in the case that nobody put one of the characters up for it, a member of the staff would probably be able to make up some form of target and mission that's interesting, maybe even a member if we can trust them enough.
But yes, I certainly like this idea.

i have a good idea.. for once.
There is a group/organisation in the star wars universe known as the salaktori, they are THE bounty hunting guild for the professionals. They tend to have an office in all major cities through out the galaxy. So to make thingsmore indepth RP wise, how about the staff members who help run this new section have an NPC sort of character who are on the board of guild leaders, but can only be rp'ed in this section only?
