So bounties...

This sounds pathetic but...

I go to kill a chook, a cow, & a pig...bored looking for achievements to tick off whilst waiting for IC on console.
Easy to say, but had to travel through 8 provinces to find an alive chook, still searching for the others.
So I get a bounty....hmmm... I can see that, I've slaughtered someones livestock ok...naughty bot moi.
This sets me off that if I'm going to get a bounty, then f___ it, I'll go eliminate 50 humans as well...one guard handed-down death is worth a few XP right?
Ten minute later I've got 25 pesky NPC's, & a bounty of over 11k.
Now most were killed in stealth but obviously if the individual doesn't die in the initial gank (yes clearly I need more durst damage), then you bounty up...ok.
Perhaps choosing VR10 gankies was a bad idea, in hindsight...

My question, as I skulk around searching for more willing participants in my agenda, and pour myself the first Saturday evening Shiraz, is what is the maximum bounty?
Or is there a cap at all?
I would've imagined, if you can jump off a nose & die for 5 points, then Zos would've given a bonus for large/maximum bounty attainable?

    Well, the max bounty I've personally got is 1,300,000 but I don't know what the Max is.

    I've see many many million. If there's a limit it's pretty high.
    Anyone else rooting for Molag Bal?

    There is no cap on how much bounty you can attain. There are other players that ARE working towards the meanest, baddest, highest bounty carrier in all of tamriel. There was a post in our forums a few months ago about it, but I've definitely heard players attaining hundreds of millions of bounty nowadays (and it's so easy to rack it up).

    Hundreds of millions. It was only a matter of time I suppose. The "justice" system at it's finest (quotation marks mandatory).

    There must be a cap somewhere, if for no other reason than computers have physical limitations. I had assumed the cap to be so high as to be effectively infinite. Now I'm starting to wonder a little, will some people actually reach the cap. Never underestimate the human mind.

    1,300,000 gold, if we assume each gold coin is 1 ounce, at the current price of $1,107/ounce gives you a USD bounty of $1,439,100,000. The bounty on Osama Bin Laden was only $25,000,000. You, sir, are not to be trifled with.
    The only substitute for victory is overkill.

    So I've noticed, after eliminating 50 sin-less souls, that there's another achievement at 100. :wink:
    I am so going to hell one day.

    But until then, a question arises, as my bounty has slowly dropped to about 10k, but unless I carry that gold for when a guard kills me, or I pay it to my fence, I'm just continuously killed by any & all guards on sight.
    Now I'm not complaining at all, do the crime etc... but it leads me to wonder, the guys with big bounties, whom I doubt would have 1.3M+ to pay their bounties...
    What can you guys do to clear your names? (Assuming you wished to.)

    Humans created computers. We took them in we can take them out.
