This suggests that a Bounty consists of a collection of game objects 
and a list of tasks, whereas you just defined them to be nothing but 
collections of objects.

I think it would be easier to say something like "Bounties are Game 
Objects. A Bounty consists of a collection of Game Objects and a list 
of conditions under which objects from the Bounty will be given to 
players. This list may be in the form of a reference to some other 
preexisting list."

Players are entities, so "Entities" would be sufficient here. Also 
"exchangeable" isn't well defined. You might wish to define it, perhaps 
as "A type of Game Object is exchangeable if the rules allow a player 
holding an object of that type to give it to another player at any 
time".

You should specify what happens if a Bounty doesn't have the objects it 
needs to pay out. Does it get destroyed, create the objects, transfer 
as much as it can, or simply do nothing?

How many of its Genechips?

Who rolls dice for this?

So basically, you'll pay me as long as I don't join your party? Sounds 
like a good incentive for the party members to quit.
