[Justice System and PvP Zones] AP for Bounties and Bounty Hunting

Let's suppose that you are not accosted in Cyrodiil and the IC because you have joined the army and they are allowing you to work off your bounty instead of putting you in jail. What if:
- You can speak to a guard there and pay your bounty just like normal, but you pay it with AP
- Whenever you earn AP, it is put toward your bounty first -- this represents you working off your crime instead of going to jail.
- You show up as having a bounty on you, and members of YOUR OWN ALLIANCE can bounty hunt you and initiate combat by first targeting you and activating a "Attempt to Collect Bounty" synergy. If you die, all stolen items on you are destroyed ("confiscated"), and any AP (then gold) on you is put toward your bounty. They collect AP just as if they had killed an enemy player. If you didn't have enough AP and gold, then your bounty is reduced by up to the amount of AP awarded to the bounty hunter for killing you.
EDIT: Allow entering Cyrodiil as factionless Bounty Hunter able to hunt all 3 factions yet somehow not screw up AvA?

Better fight real enemies instead of backstabbing your allies. Hope we wont see any mechanics that can be used against friendly faction in Cyrodiil or players outside of pvp zone.Dusk_Coven wrote: »You show up as having a bounty on you, and members of YOUR OWN ALLIANCE can bounty hunt you and initiate combat by first targeting you and activating a "Attempt to Collect Bounty" synergy.

This is the closest to a bounty system we're likely to get without being in a PvE zone.
If you let the opposing alliance collect bounties, no one's even going to notice.
If PvP people don't even like it, don't even bother in a PvE zone.
That said, I bet people would "backstab" their allies, especially when their faction controls too much of the map and they're just twiddling their thumbs.
