A bounty placed on ''all hostile ships'' is considered a ''blanket bounty'' within the scope of the server rules - a right reserved only by official factions.
As an independent player or a member of a faction, you yourself cannot place such a bounty.

You will need to either hire freelancers on the spot as guards or you may choose to list specific ship names in your bounty thread. Either or works.

If you are unable do do the above, try promising an extra payment on an existing bounty that is already sponsored by another faction.

Quote:1. All bounties must be posted in the appropriate forum, here. 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. You can post RP elsewhere, as appropriate, but any bounty needs recording via that link.

4. Mercenaries, freelancers and bounty hunters may be hired on the spot in game by non-generic IDed players to assist with a combat without a forum post. The other parties involved in the combat must be made aware of this.

With that in mind, a standing "escort" contract would be more appropriate. What Spazzy is saying is that The Crown Bounty Board already offers rewards for dead Dublinites. In fact, publicly stating the base's location, and the fact that there will be people that bounties can be claimed on present, and you'll get a herd of peeps.

Whether or not anyone will be ON at the time is another question.

Also, spazzy, check out @"Undertaker"'s posts in the last 24 hours; they're posting in other people's message dumps.

History lesson: The Republic of Dublin has a very, very good reason to despise BMM's corporate overlords.

However, ideology gives way to pragmatism after a certain point. They'd probably be willing to negotiate a settlement of a large sum of credits, docking access, and other sundries (mostly political in nature), but you had to essentially say "Hey de facto dominant power in Dublin, I'm not going to let you in." The expected is happening.

At this point, they've committed, but your response to their completely reasonable "we're the big bad scary taxation-leveling unlawfuls, and we're working our way up to asking you for a contribution to our glorious cause" could be summed up as a restatement of BMM's corporate policy. That is not something they want to hear.

If I were you, I'd call the Mollys back up and apologize to them, citing that you were talking to Gauls or something and got a wire crossed. Both sides of the table know it's a lie, but it's clearly to save face. Just pay their base fees. You'll make your money back in two runs, tops.
