Clarification needed: foreign navies with enhanced ZOI enforcing rp consequences - Jack_Henderson - 12-22-2016 This is a rather technical rule question and I hope I can explain it in a way that makes sense. Took me a while to figure out the problem, and translucentrabbit helped a lot with it. This is also at the core of my scepticism and (as of now) rejection of the O3/O7 ZoI extension for BAF and RM. It's easiest to explain with an example: > Blood Diamonds is illegal in Rheinland space.
> Blood Diamonds are legal in Bretonian space (e.g. O3). The example also works with every law violation, of course. Normally everything is clear, but when Navies are allowed into the territory of their neighbouring navy via ZoI extension, things are not clear any more. Invented situation:
To sum the example up: Rheinland law can be used to force roleplay consequences (e.g. a FR5) on an IMG even though the "crime" has taken place where the law that is used (Rheinland law) is not even valid. A more exaggerated example might make it even clearer when the Navies operate further away from home laws:
Summed up: A Junker is screwed because he was seen in Leeds by a LN who had ZoI by the extension that was granted, even though I find it highly doubtful if Liberty law was used for something in Leeds. The relevant rules: Quote:Outer Regional Space Quote:All Systems Questions:
In my personal opinion, it should be: "Foreign guest navy can only assist home navy and is not allowed to enforce laws (neither home laws, nor host nation laws) on their own" And I also think that this should be somehow included into the rules because even though it might sound harmless, it is not.

Omega-3 falls into neither for Rheinland, same as Omega-7 for Bretonia. Both fall into "All Systems" for the Houses respectfully. The RM can't enforce any Rheinland laws in Bretonia, and vice-versa. The RM also can't enforce Bretonian laws, unless a treaty changes that. They can help against an invader that is a common enemy. These factions are military, not polices.

Only rule concerning this says Quote:- House Miltary, Police and Intelligence factions may enforce roleplay consequences only for actions occurring within their ZOI. But since now O-3 will be part of RM ZOI and O-7 part of BAF ZOI, technically they can enforce consequencies for law violations which happened in other house. Also, technically if we just blindly add the systems to the ZOIs, it allows people to enforce Rheinland laws in O-3 and BAF in O-7. It is problem which, quite surprisingly, no one solved even with LN ID, which has some Bretonian systems in their ZOI and thus technically can enforce Liberty laws there. RE: Clarification needed: foreign navies with enhanced ZOI enforcing rp consequences - Jack_Henderson - 12-22-2016 Quote:ΤΩΣO In my interpretation this means that O3 is a "yellow" system, House Controlled Space for the faction that has it in the ZOI, which is BAF, BPA, BIS. O7 for BAF would likely be red then? But how to put that into the classification? No idea. It's already really hard to understand. I honestly do not understand it fully myself, that's why clarification is needed.

And also RM could enforce Rheinland law in O3, again if I got it right. An ingame treaty does not change a thing there, as we are talking rules here. In an "Fr5 process" as I explained it in my example, BAF would not even get a notice about it. This is an oorp process, a rather complex rule question that cannot be handled with "but they are not meant to police". If their ID and ZoI allows it, they can do it. And as I see it, they can.

That's also my understanding of the implications. RE: Clarification needed: foreign navies with enhanced ZOI enforcing rp consequences - Thunderer - 12-22-2016 I'm confused now too. Shouldn't have delved into this at half past 1 AM. I'll take another look after sleep.

I know you go with common sense, but technically it will allow that. If some RM indie will go enforce Rheinland laws in O-3, what will stop him? His ID will be saying: Quote:- Can demand contraband and levy fines within their Zone of Influence, and attack if ships refuse to comply.Do you see the problem? RP treaty is not the same as ID rules and ID rules in this form will allow that. RE: Clarification needed: foreign navies with enhanced ZOI enforcing rp consequences - sindroms - 12-22-2016 Just to note, the rules for FR5 are quite possibly going to be changed soon, especially regarding smuggling.

Well this should be interesting ^^ RE: Clarification needed: foreign navies with enhanced ZOI enforcing rp consequences - Unlucky_Soul - 12-22-2016 Could this be an [A]dmin conspiracy to escalate a war between Bretonia & Rhienland ? On a serious note i think Jack has raised a valid point |
