Guild Contact Daargin has been busy with some updates to the bounty system. As a result, he is now able to issue a replacement puck to any hunter whose puck has been destroyed. Daargin knows if you merely lost it, and will not give you a new one in that case. 

As a result of the update, he can also keep better track of expiry dates. If a contract has passed the deadline without the target being taken out (or rescued) , he will soon be able to mark your contract a failure even if you forget to check up on your puck. Once your objective is completed, there is still no deadline to report back to Daargin.

Expect Daargin to clear out his backlog later this week. 

Finally, starting somewhere next week, failed contracts will be declared null and void a month after failure. The target will disappear in anonimity. Rescue targets will join their captors in a life of banditry (ooc: bounty squads become bandit squads that can be killed and despawn just like regular bandits).
 

Falcon Edit:
Contracts will be auto-marked as a failure if they meet normal failure criteria beginning sometime on Day 234 (EDIT: D234 -- The property to allow bounties to autofail has been enabled, and should run whenever the daily jobs run tonight at 22:00 CGT)
Contracts will be cleaned up if they are more than a month past failure beginning sometime on Day 241

Ondo Edit D238:
The list of pucks that can be re-issued to you for dissolved networks currently includes the pucks for contracts Daargin has on offer for you. We will look into this ASAP, best not to take these pucks for now ;)
