Remove upkeep.  ✌

I like the all the ideas including the inconvenience of the random events/bounties. One thing I see is it's easy to get out of jail/med out of hospital but there are some big players that 90% of the player base couldn't hit or wouldn't bother hitting for bounties and it feels like stronger players could tank the punishments above. 

One good way which would be more threatening to stronger players would be something that affects gym gains or effective stats.

Maybe something like an NPC attacking you with a 4 hour hospital time which leaves you with a 'Crippled' status effect which reduces stats by 20% for 24 hours every 72 hours making you more of a target?

As a self proclaimed "Strong player" I full agree with this. 

Players at the top should feel the same effects of the system as players who are weaker, maybe even more of an effect

After implementing this penalty one of the major issues would be people not get used to the new system yet and 'forget' to pay upkeep. Therefore an autopay option is really necessary and not make this a chore.

I would just like to add a small note as a noobie here. Maybe it would be good to add a little tip from the tutorial guy as well for new players coming in, just a comment maybe while your buying your first house. If punishments are added i think it should be more in your face that it needs to be done incase of people just not knowing. From personal experience it took me a week or two to notice the daily upkeep when i started. 

Kinda interesting ideas. Any idea when the upkeep becomes late? After a day/week/month? 
Bailiffs Place Bounties - take cash from hand/vault/bank doesn't make any sense with "real life experience". Who ever can go to bank and take your money to use for bounties? That could increase debt for some npc or the upkeep, but cleaning out vault/bank is not feasible. 
Also, don't forget to add the ability to pay part of the upkeep to be able to reduce the debt. As we might end up racing with getting enough money for upkeep and upkeep keep rising...

I don't like any of this for not to mention reasons. 😂

But seriously, all is fine, but if it will be punishable, please have a toggle to auto-pay from the safe.

Maybe 100% upkeep removes property upgrades every week till paid? Or make an achievement for upkeep :p .
