Bounty Hunting, Mercenary & Freelancer Hire
1. All bounties must be posted on the forum. If you attack another player to claim a bounty and the bounty is not posted on the forum, you are open to a PvP abuse sanction.
2. Players are required to claim for kills made under a bounty contract within a reasonable period of time.
3. Mercenaries, freelancers and bounty hunters may be hired on the spot in game to assist with a combat without a forum post. The other parties involved in the combat must be made aware of this.
4. The minimum acceptable bounty payment, including blanket bounties, will be 1 million Sirius credits. Bounties larger than this are acceptable. No bounties smaller than 1 million credits will be valid or acceptable for posting.
5. All bounties must identify a target and set the total amount to be paid out. Evidence that this amount has been set aside for payment is also required.
6. All bounties must specify the persons hired to take the bounty before they can start collecting on it.
7. Groups and factions may enter into contracts with governments or entities for flat rate fee payments instead of individual bounties. The flat rate shall be at least 30 million credits, and can be higher. Proof of this payment shall be posted prominently upon the forum, either on the bounty board or in a thread specifically regarding that contract. All acts under such contracts must be posted.
8. Rule 6.10 states that player reputation and conduct must match player actions.
Players are responsible for their own reputation status.
Players must be at least neutral to their employer.
Players must be hostile to the faction they are targetting in a bounty. This does not apply to assassination missions where the target is a single character.
People posting bounties are obliged to ensure that the persons they are hiring have a suitable reputation. This means no hiring or paying people who would be hostile to you based on previous actions.
9. There are no anonymous bounties. Administrators may post bounties on behalf of people wishing to remain anonymous and may request that persons sponsoring bounties identify themselves to Administrators.
10. Any player abusing the bounty system to drive players off the server or to further out-of-roleplay conflicts will face consequences for disrupting play.
11. It is recommended that future bounties use a centralised system such as MercNet (for the hire of mercenaries for all manner of work) or the Sirius Crime Commission (for the hiring of lawful freelancers, members of the Bounty Hunters Guild and other contractors of a purely lawful disposition). Players registered with these boards are regarded as having fulfilled the requirements listed under 4,5,6 and 7 above.
12. You may only collect on a bounty which you have sponsored or funded (fully or partly) so long as it is open to others to collect.
