The bubbles for

"Aim for highest bounty" and
"First come first serve"

are switched around.
Nice userscript.

Is there any benefit to ever selecting "first come first served"? Seems to me that you'd always want to aim for highest. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Yes, there's a bug.. it's not really switched, though. It is more deranged... haha, it involved a typo and more screw-ups. It is fixed in v1.12.

but why would you ever want to go for anything other than the highest?

It depends on what you want, guess it comes down to greed. If you just want money as fast as you can get it, first come first served makes sense... If you want the biggest bang for your stamina point then Aim for highest bounty. Also, the hitlist doesn't normally have more then one hit in the list, so in that case they are essentially the same setting, until more then one hit is in the hit list, which is my guess where this setting comes from... first served prolly takes the first hit in the list, highest bounty prolly enums the list looking for the highest dollar value, but the enum takes CPU cycles, so you might miss the hit because of a list enum... granted it's not alot of cycles but the hitlist is a huge race condition so that enum could cause you to miss the hit. I would have to look at the code but that is my best guess :)

Thanks, but I'm unconvinced. Sometimes a slight delay wins it for you too, so I don't think that's it. For money as fast as you can get it, you hit anything (no minimum). However, if there's a 0.8M and a 1.1M on the list at the same time, I see no reason to go for the lesser. Especially since you should have a max cap set to prevent fighting folks too powerful to take down. Can anyone explain? Thanks.

The "First Come First Serve" is a fun element in my script. Think of it as a random "drive by shooting" where you don't really need a good reason. Just having sheer fun of shooting people down from top of the list downward...

Of course, if you want to be more logical, try the other option.

LOL! I just couldn't for the life of me figure out the mathematical advantage. I get it now. Thanks, Pea.

First come first serve is good if you are all about racking up your stats. It's (usually) easier to get a lower value kill than a higher one. Once you get a trillion or so dollars the money isn't as important and your stats are.

I agree, after a while money is easy. 100:1 kill/death ratio, now that's hard.
