GUILD HANDBOOK
How the hunt works — for both sides of it
Before anything else
Nobody is hunted without saying yes.
Every name on the hunt board either put themselves there or accepted a
contract someone posted on them. A bounty is an invitation to play, not
a licence — the usual Bondage Club rules, limits and blocklists all
still apply, and being a target does not lower any of them. If you are
hunted and you stop enjoying it, say so; the hunt ends there.
Talking to the bot
Everything in-game happens in the Bounty Hunter Office room,
through the guild bot.
›
Type /bot then the command
For example /bot escaped or
/bot help. Your command is hidden and the
answer comes back as a whisper, so the room stays readable however
many people are working at once.
/bot help on its own lists the topics.
›
The bot's profile is the live board
Open the bot's BC profile at any time to see every open bounty, who is
being hunted, the recent captures, the top hunters and the full command
list. It updates itself as the board changes.
🎯 For hunters
From signing up to getting paid.
1
Join the guild
Sign up at
bh_register.php with the guild code
bounty-guild.
Put your
BC member number in during registration — without
it the bot cannot tell that the person in the room is you, and you
cannot claim or be paid.
2
Find something worth chasing
The
hunt board shows every consenting target with
their photo and member number. In the room,
/bot escaped lists escaped inmates,
/bot contracts lists player-posted bounties, and
/bot oldest finds the one that has been open longest.
3
Claim it before you start
/bot claim <code> puts your name on it, so nobody
else spends their evening on the same target. A claim lasts
24 hours and then returns to the board
automatically — the bot warns you before it lapses.
/bot unclaim <code> hands it back early, and
/bot myclaims shows what you are holding.
4
Find them
/bot track <code> shows the recent trail of
sightings for an escaped inmate, newest first — the direction they were
heading, not one stale dot.
/bot locate <code or name> tells you which room
a contract target is in — the name works too, so you can use whatever the
hunt board shows rather than copying the code. But only if they have added the
bot as a friend, because Bondage Club will not reveal a room to a stranger.
Many targets do; some deliberately do not.
5
Hunt together, if you like
/bot team <code> adds you to a hunt somebody else
has claimed, up to 4 hunters. The bounty
is split evenly between everyone on it, and everyone on it is paid and
rated. /bot leave <code> steps back off.
6
Collect
The fast way: bring the target into the
Bounty Hunter Office restrained, then run
/bot caught <code>. The bot can see them
standing there tied, so it pays you immediately — no warden, no queue.
The other way: run
/bot caught <code> anywhere else and a warden
reviews the report before the money is released.
Escaped
inmates pay the same way from the room:
/bot caught <barcode>, or their name.
Bring them in restrained and the recapture is confirmed on the spot —
no warden, no queue. A report made without them standing here tied still
waits for a warden to verify it. To attach a photo, use
REPORT CAPTURE on the inmate's card in your
dashboard instead.
You can type a name instead of a code.
/bot claim Pandora works as well as
/bot claim BH-000047, and the same goes for
release, locate and
caught. Part of a name is enough — and if it matches
more than one target the bot lists them rather than guessing. The hunt board leads
with a name and a photo, so there is rarely any need to copy a code at all.
Seen someone? Say so.
/bot sighting <barcode> <where you saw them>
files a report from the room, and it goes to whoever is holding that bounty.
/bot track <barcode> reads the recent trail back,
newest first. You do not need to be a hunter to file one — anyone can.
Some inmates are repeat customers.
Escape again after being caught and the bot remembers. From their second escape on,
the escape alert, the board and /bot bounty <code>
all carry a 🔥 marker counting how many times they have run, and
the room is told when a recidivist is at large. The bounty pays what it pays —
the history is there so you know exactly who you are chasing.
To be paid in Bondage Club money you need BCTweaks.
Payouts are sent as a real BC money transfer, which only works if you have the
BCTweaks
script installed and you are standing in the office when the bot offers it.
Without it nothing is lost — the money stays owed and the bot keeps
re-offering it — but you cannot actually take it until you install it.
Player-posted contracts pay in
site credits instead, because the
poster's stake was taken in credits; those need no mod at all.
🕵 For those who want to be hunted
You set the price, you decide how findable you are, and you can call it off at
any moment.
1
Prove the account is yours
Go to
hunt_me.php and enter your BC member number.
You will be given a short code; send it to the bot with
/bot verify <code> or as a beep. Bondage Club
stamps your member number on that message, which is what proves it is you
— so nobody can put a bounty on someone else's head by typing their number.
2
Name your price
Choose anything from 100 to
100,000 credits. The prison funds it,
not you — a bounty on yourself costs you nothing.
It goes straight onto the board.
A higher price attracts more attention; a small one is a quieter game.
3
Say who you are
Add a name, a one-line blurb and a photo (up to
5 MB) on the same page — or reuse your prison
mugshot if you have one. Hunters see your card on the
hunt board, so the blurb is where you say what
kind of chase you are after. Leave the name blank and you appear as your
member number instead.
4
Decide how findable you are
Add BC member
#244322 to your friend list and
hunters can use
/bot locate to see which room you
are in — the room name, and nothing else. It also tells anyone currently
holding a claim on you the moment you log in, so a hunter who is waiting finds
out instead of sitting in the office hoping. The bot beeps you once to say
the link is working, and your card on the
hunt board picks up a
trackable badge so hunters know it is worth trying.
Run
/bot friend any time to check.
Skip it and you stay unfindable — the bounty still stands, you are just
harder work, and the board says nothing about you either way. Remove the bot
as a friend and tracking stops that moment. Both are perfectly good ways to
play, and most people on the board have not added it.
5
Stop whenever you want
Withdraw my bounty on
hunt_me.php
takes you off the board immediately.
/bot nohunt refuses any new contracts on you, and
/bot huntme opens the door again — and
/bot huntme <amount> puts a fresh bounty on your
own head there and then, without opening the website. None of this
needs anyone's approval and none of it is permanent.
Someone else can offer a bounty on you, but only you can accept it.
A player-posted contract sits waiting for your answer —
/bot accept <code> or
/bot decline <code> — and expires by itself after
48 hours if you say nothing. Declining refunds the poster in
full. If you would rather never be asked, /bot nohunt
turns every future offer down automatically.
🔒 Being processed
Deliver a target to the office in restraints and the guild processes them —
the bot puts its own cuffs on. This is the one thing here that touches your
character, so it is worth being precise about when it happens and when it does not.
1
It only happens on delivery
Not on claiming, not on a reported capture, not to anyone standing
around. Only when a hunter brings a target into the office already
restrained and the capture is confirmed on the spot — the moment
the bounty pays.
2
Your Bondage Club permissions decide
The bot asks the server whether it may use items on you, and checks
each item against your own block and limit lists. If either says no,
nothing is applied — and nothing is said about it. You do not
need to tell anyone, ask anyone, or explain yourself. Setting the bot
to a permission level it cannot reach, or blocking the items, is a
complete answer.
3
Refusing costs nobody anything
The capture still counts, the hunter is still paid in full, and the
board updates exactly the same way. The restraints are decoration on
a transaction that has already gone through — never a condition
of it. Nobody has any reason to press you about your settings.
4
You can always get out
The cuffs carry a timer lock and fall off by themselves. Collecting the
bounty releases them sooner, and
/bot uncuff takes them off whenever you
like, no waiting. That command only removes the guild’s own
restraints — anything you or a partner put on you is left alone.
5
Then you do a little time — and get paid for it
Being delivered books you into the prison for
30 minutes. Sit it out and you earn
3 bounty coins, which spend in the
guild shop exactly like a hunter's.
This is the only thing in the game that pays the person who was
caught — up to now being hunted was its own reward and nothing else.
/bot serve shows the time left.
/bot walk ends it immediately, any time, for any
reason — you forfeit the coins and nothing else. Nobody is ever held.
When you are out,
/bot huntme <amount> puts you
straight back on the board if you fancy another go — being caught used to
be the end of it, and you had to go back to the website to be hunted again.
The bot never strips anyone.
It adds its own restraints and removes only those. Your outfit, your own items and
anything applied by another player are never touched, in either direction.
Money, plainly
There are two kinds, and they are not interchangeable.
| What | Where it comes from | What it does |
|---|
| Credits |
This website |
The stake behind a contract. When you post a bounty on someone, your
credits are held until the hunt ends — and returned in full if the
target declines or you cancel.
|
| BC money |
Bondage Club itself |
What a hunter is actually paid for a prison-funded bounty. It is
transferred in-game and needs BCTweaks at your end to receive it.
|
An unclaimed bounty gets more tempting.
Anything still open after 3 days grows by
10% a day, up to 3× what it
started at. Being hard to catch is worth something.
🪙 Bounty coins
Every verified capture pays a bounty coin as well as the money — one
coin, flat, whatever the bounty was worth. A team hunt pays one to each
hunter on it.
1
Why they are not just more money
Money already comes in two currencies and both swing with the size of the
bounty, so chasing the richest target pays best. A coin does not care what
the target was worth — it measures turning up and finishing the job.
That is why the shop is priced in them.
2
Spending them
The
guild shop takes coins for outfits, oddments and
sessions with other players.
/bot coins tells you
what you have and what you are closest to affording.
3
Outfits, two ways
Buy an outfit and the shop shows you a Bondage Club code to paste into your
wardrobe — yours to keep, and it works whether or not the bot is
running. In the office, /bot wear <name>
puts it on for you instead. That route asks your item permissions first,
exactly as an arrest does, and if it cannot dress you the outfit is still
yours to paste in by hand.
4
Sessions are a request, not a purchase
Only people who have put themselves on the roster can be asked, and they set
out their own terms in their own words. Asking spends your coins and sends a
request; they confirm or decline as they like. A decline refunds you
in full, needs no reason, and can happen even after they have said
yes. Nobody is ever obliged by somebody else spending coins.
Putting yourself on the roster is entirely optional.
It is off unless you turn it on, listing yourself only means people may ask, and
unticking it removes you at once. You answer every request yourself.

Questions people actually ask
The bot is ignoring me.
Check you typed /bot and not !,
and that you are in the Bounty Hunter Office. Answers come back as a whisper, so
look there rather than in the room. If a command needs an account, the bot says so.
I claimed a bounty and it went back on the board.
Claims lapse after 24 hours so a target cannot be locked
away by someone who has stopped playing. Claim it again if it is still open —
nothing is lost.
/bot locate says it cannot see my target.
They have not added the bot as a friend, or they are offline, or their room is
private. Bondage Club only shares a room name between friends, and the bot cannot
ask on your behalf. Not every target wants to be findable.
I was paid but no money arrived.
BC money transfers need BCTweaks running at your end and both of you in the room.
If you missed the prompt the bot offers it again next time you are in the office
— the money stays owed until you take it.
Can I be hunted without joining the guild?
Yes. Being hunted needs nothing but a verified BC member number. A guild account is
only for people who want to do the hunting.
Someone posted a bounty on me and I do not want it.
/bot decline <code> refuses it and refunds them in
full, and /bot nohunt stops any further offers reaching
you. You never have to explain why.
I got caught and now I'm in a cell. How long?
30 minutes, and you earn
3 bounty coins for sitting it out.
/bot serve tells you the time left and
/bot walk gets you out immediately — the coins are
the only thing you lose, and you never need a reason.
More on being processed →
The bot put cuffs on me. How do I get them off?
/bot uncuff, any time, no waiting. They also come off
by themselves on a timer, and again when the bounty is collected. If you would
rather it never happened at all, block the items or set your Bondage Club item
permissions so the bot cannot reach you — it checks before every arrest and
simply skips anyone who has said no. Doing that costs you nothing: the capture
still counts and the hunter is still paid.
More on being processed →
What does “trackable” mean on the hunt board?
That the target has added the bot as a friend, so
/bot locate can report which room they are in —
and nothing else about them. Trackable now means they are online
this minute; the grey badge means they were at some point. No badge means the bot
has never seen them, which is not the same as a refusal, so the board never
claims anyone is untrackable. Removing the bot as a friend stops it immediately.
The bot says things nobody asked for.
Occasionally, in the room only — the longest-open bounty, a recidivist at
large, the biggest contract, or who is findable right now. A few times a day at
most, never as a beep, and never to anyone who is not standing there.
Why does an inmate on the board have a 🔥 next to them?
They have escaped before — the marker counts how many times, and it survives
being caught. The bot flags repeat offenders on their escape alert, on
/bot escaped and the board, and
/bot bounty <code> tells you their full history.
A recidivist pays exactly what their bounty says; the marker just means the room
knows who they are.
A hunter found me the moment I logged in.
If you have added the bot as a friend and someone holds a claim on you, the bot
tells them the moment you come online — that is what being findable means.
If it is not what you want, remove the bot from your friend list and the alerts
stop instantly, no questions asked.
More on being hunted →
Someone asked me for a session. Do I have to?
No, and there is no cost to you for saying no. Declining refunds them in full,
needs no reason, and works even after you have accepted. You only appear on the
roster at all if you put yourself there, and unticking it takes you off
immediately.
More on coins →
I bought an outfit and the bot will not put it on me.
It asks your Bondage Club item permissions first, the same as it does before an
arrest, and it will not dress you if they say no. You have not lost anything:
open your
shop page, reveal the code and paste it into
your own wardrobe. The bot also needs to be a room admin to dress anyone.
I want out, right now.
Withdraw your bounty on
hunt_me.php and it leaves the board
immediately. In the moment, the ordinary Bondage Club tools — safeword, block,
leaving the room — work exactly as they always do, and take priority over
anything happening here.
