' Wrote:I updated the criminal database and I filed the FR-5s.
The information from the Freelancer (who is not an RM member, but a third party asset) was forwarded to me in a PM. The Freelancer in question is in long-term employ by Rheinland.
As you can see, there's quite a lengthy role play going on between the RM and the Freelancer screening you. Safe to say, we trust that his observation was also perfectly correct.
And here's the PM from him in question:
If you're worried about being caught by a Freelancer; just because a non-RM person caught you committing a crime, that doesn't mean you weren't caught committing it inside Rheinland. Since that Freelancer is a closely trusted operative due to a long-term contract, we don't need more evidence of you being caught than we do when it comes to an RM operative catching you.
If you want to avoid being FR5'd, either don't smuggle, or pay the fine.
Can you tell me at what point the RM has interacted with my character, as prescribed in the guidelines of a FR5, then? I'll bold what I am talking about in the post describing FR5s.

Factions may only do this after they have interacted with the character in role play. Faction leaders should post reputation change requests in the Special Role Play section with a link to the forum evidence.
Example: The LPI could request that a smuggler be made hostile to them but only after conducting some sort of role play around this situation. A role play trial conducted on the forum with the evidence would be a good way to do this. Note that the reputation change may be temporary as the smuggler is free to buy a bribe to fix the reputation.
Where has the RM ever interacted with me? I have interacted with a Freelancer Eagle. Never has the RM ever interacted with me at all. I've just been secretly placed on a list, without any Roleplay at all being conducted. You're reaping the benefits of doing absolutely nothing.
I understand I have been caught by [FL]Thexter. At what point has the RM interacted with me enough to even make it possible to Faction Right 5 me? I don't see anything about it being acceptable to interact by proxy characters. If I can compare this to something with my characters, this is like me taking out my Phantom Osiris, Tenebrous, killing a BAF Gunboat in Dublin, and then sending the kill to the Reavers, and them claiming it for Flame.Reaver on the [OG] bounty board because my Phantom once hired them to help even a lopsided fight and now we're friends. It is absolutely ludicrous.
I would not be causing a stink if the RM had done anything which could constitute a Faction Right 5, but you have not. You have not interacted with anyone. According to the responsibilities of Faction Right 5, you cannot Faction Right 5 anyone without interacting with them. Ergo, [FL]Thexter is welcome to Faction Right 5 me from the [FL]Thexter NPC faction if he chooses to become official, but honestly as it stands, the RM should not be able to Faction Right 5 me because they have not interacted with me at all. Ever.
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
