Disclaimer

TASVideos does not endorse bounties. TASVideos does not validate the rules, accuracy, correctness, validity, or existence of any bounty. TASVideos will in no way take responsibility or liability for any monetary proposals or transactions between users. TASVideos will not monitor nor assist any monetary transactions users conduct with one another. TASVideos will not indemnify site users nor even attempt to resolve any conflicts arising from bounties.

This page serves as a list of bounties that some site users claim they are offering to players to collect by completing TASes. This page in no way indicates that any of these bounties are real and will actually be paid for if a player happens to achieve a goal. This page is in no way considered accurate regarding rules, conditions, or monetary rewards derived from achieving a goal. Players should not assume that rules/goals/objectives posted here are comprehensive and complete enough that the user claiming to offer a bounty will actually feel satisfied by any TAS which achieves the stated goal. Players should not assume those offering the bounties are still around and active on the site, or that their heirs will honor any bounties they once offered. Players should not assume that any bounty will actually be paid for even if the user offering the bounty is satisfied with the TAS which accomplished the objectives. Players should not even assume that any bounty is anything more than a hoax or a ploy to get others to make certain TASs.

Presumably the bounties/awards posted on this page are only intended to be paid to the player(s) of the first verified TAS to accomplish a stated goal. However, no assumptions should be made regarding how one offering the bounty may verify a TAS or how they will consider one TAS first compared to another. Players should not expect those offering a bounty will even identify the correct creator(s) for a TAS, and may award the bounty to impostors or plagiarists, if they award anything at all.

Site judges who accept submitted TASs are supposed to be impartial. However, if a goal/objective requires the TAS be accepted and published on the site, do not assume the judge will try to accommodate for any particular bounty. In fact, players should suspect that one claiming to offer a bounty may bribe a judge to reject the movie to avoid paying a larger sum - the bounty/award itself. If someone offering a bounty is a site judge, all the more so should a player presume the TAS will be rejected and they will never get paid. TASVideos does not claim any responsibility or liability for the decisions of its judges nor guarantee their impartiality in any matter.



Why are there bounties?

The creation of a TAS takes a long time and a lot of dedication. In order to make the task more attractive to players, and in order to speed up the creation process, people are willing to put a bounty on the completion of said TAS. These bounties can be in cash or they can be anything else the player might want.
See:

Note that in order to be eligible for collecting the bounty, the TAS work has to be sufficiently optimized. No bounty should be collected by quickly rushing the creation of a TAS.
Also, do note that this system is set up by forum users themselves and is not legally binding. It is up to the user to pay out the bounty once it is completed and it shall be frowned upon if they don't.


How can I add a bounty?

Please post in the TASVideos forum thread and specify the following:

It has been suggested that bounties be paid as donations towards TASVideos. So please specify:
If unspecified, it is assumed that the payment is given to the player.
