Overview
The H4H Bounty Hunters (not to be confused with Heckboy88's clan of the same name) was the largest and one of the most influential clans in the original LittleBigPlanet Union. It is known for its massive drive to end Heart for Heart as well as the organization's manipulated feud with another Union clan, the Agents.
History
Foundation
The H4H Bounty Hunters were supposedly founded in February or March of 2009.[1] Their headquarters was first published on July 11th, 2009, though it is not known if the group was founded before then. The organization however officially recognized its anniversary date as January 1st. Leejk30 and Godman2k7 were leaders at the time and developed a moderate to large sized core group of members that were clearly set apart from the mass amount of followers they began to generate over mere months from publishing the headquarters.
Foundation of the LBP Union
Sometime in 2009, the Agents began to spam the Bounty Hunters' HQ. The Agents believed that the H4H Bounty Hunters were being too aggressive in their tactics against H4H. As the Agents urged the Bounty Hunters to cease their operations, Godman2k7 took notice of the attacks from the Agents. Godman2k7 explained to the Agents that the H4H Bounty Hunters' tactics were not related to cyberbullying and the two organizations quickly made peace. In that peace, Godman2k7 proposed the establishment of the LittleBigPlanet Union. The Agents and the H4H Bounty Hunters from then on used the LBP Union as a forum to discuss their relations and work together.
Early Anti-H4H Operations
While most Anti-H4H operations were conducted independently by followers of the Bounty Hunters, the core H4H Bounty Hunters found themselves in conflicts with various more well known H4Hers such as K00n3ss, who led his own H4H Club. Unaware that K00n3ss was mostly just trolling the Bounty Hunters, the BH launched massive spam attacks against the headquarters of the H4H group and argued over its existence for a long time before K00n3ss eventually lost his LBP disc and went missing. Soon after this, Godman2k7 and Leejk30 declared that the H4H War had been won, citing that the amount of H4H spam had been reduced and that the servers were no longer in jeopardy from the massive amount of junk that H4Hers published.
First Union Civil War
Sometime in November of 2009, the Bounty Hunters and the Agents found themselves in a state of bickering and flaming that was later referred to as the First Union Civil War. The Bounty Hunters were avowedly opposed to a former BHer named BarneyTremwoc, who decided to form his own H4H Army. This was mainly a ruse and the H4H Bounty Hunters quickly out-voiced Tremwoc. Tremwoc surrendered and claimed that his army was meant to unite the Union together and that he never intended to claim victory. Whether or not these were his true intentions are up for debate.
As the Union continued to fight amongst itself, the H4H Bounty Hunters identified Scorpitom335 pulling strings within the Agents. Knowing that Scorpitom was fueling the conflict by supporting the Agents against the Bounty Hunters, the conflict did not escalate much further. Scorpitom was eventually stopped, but his influence in the Union did not cease entirely. Peace was made between both groups eventually after a few days into the conflict. Although the event resulted in a stronger Union, Scorpitom335 tainted the foundation of the Union with a dangerous divide between the Bounty Hunters and the Agents.
Feud with Heckboy88
After the Agents and the Bounty Hunters formed their alliance, arguing broke out between core members of the H4H Bounty Hunters and followers of another Anti-H4Her named Heckboy88, who led an organization of the same name. Heckboy88 argued that it was against the EULA to copy their name. Leejk30 and other Bounty Hunters claimed that their name was completely original and that they should keep the name. Ultimately, the arguing about the name of the group was overshadowed by the nearing conflict with the Red Skull Republic.
Involvement in the RSR/Union War
As there was no headquarters or private forum to discuss affairs of the Union, most affairs of the Union were discussed on the H4H Bounty Hunter HQ's comment board, which included discussion about the Red Skull Republic. Sensitive information can still be found on the comment board of the level, such as information about espionage against the RSR from the Agents. The Union inferred that the RSR did not know that this sensitive discussion was ongoing on the BH comment board and the Union felt that it was a secure location at the time.
The Bounty Hunters mainly contributed via voice against the Red Skull Republic once the RSR / LBPU War kicked off. The Bounty Hunters ordered spam attacks on the RSR but it is not known if any were actually carried out. Some arguing was conducted but the main portion of the conflict was conducted by the Union Task Force, as well as some arguing with Godman2k7 at the head of the spear.
Other Anti-H4H Operations
Core BHers found themselves stuck in large flamewars with trolls such as Tonberryfey, who claimed to be H4Hers. These would last long periods of time as the trolls became more well versed in their trade.
Demographics
Population
The H4H Bounty Hunters was a unique clan when it came to recruiting. While it did have a core group of dedicated members that contributed directly to the organization, the BH mainly encouraged community members to be self motivated, giving them instructions on how they could stop H4H in the name of the H4H Bounty Hunters. While they simply called all of these people members, a better term for the less involved people would perhaps be followers. With such a massive number of followers, the H4H Bounty Hunters maintained that they were the largest clan in the Union, though this is to be debated today.
The H4H Bounty Hunters organized members by role. Recruits would choose to be a Soldier, an Assassin or a Behind the Scenes Worker. Soldiers were instructed to ask H4Hers to cease and desist, while assassins would spam H4Hers with anti-H4H propaganda should the H4Hers persist. Behind the scenes workers would create stickers for the assassins to utilize as ammunition.
Many Bounty Hunter members were multi-clanning with the Agents, making the feuds between the two groups more dire. When the Union broke into the great schism, multiclanning members were forced to choose sides or remain neutral, critically harming each clan.
According to a census of the clan conducted on January 1st, 2018 by the Union Ministry of Intelligence, the H4H Bounty Hunters had approximately 103 verified and unverified members involved. 29 members are confirmed to have been involved with the core of the organization, however the remaining 74 people are known to have been interested in joining and helping the Bounty Hunters put an end to H4H.[2]
Language
The H4H Bounty Hunters spoke mostly British English within its core members. Languages spoken by any follower members other than English is not known.
Government
The H4H Bounty Hunters were a traditional leader/coleader style government. Leejk30 often consulted his core members other than Godman2k7 when making decisions.
Foreign Relations and Military
The H4H Bounty Hunters in its entirety was a military organization, meaning that all members participated in some form of its defense when necessary. The organization mainly used sticker spam and flaming as tactics.
Josh25399 was the leader of the BH Assassins.
MRLane1 was the leader of the BH Soldiers.
Culture and Style
The style of the H4H Bounty Hunters was mainly sticker driven rather than building. The building quality of the BH was rather low, even for the time. Core members also played other games which influenced their interests on LBP. These games were titles like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.
Infrastructure
The Bounty Hunters mainly used PSN text chats and meetings on LBP to discuss and communicate. They also utilized the LBP Union community chats to discuss as well.
