Before you attack someone, you have to give an rp reason you are going to do so.
For most enemies, simply being an enemy is enough.
A molly comes across a BAF, nothing more than "your a bloody bretonian tyrant!", or "Die BAF Scum!" is needed, as the simple fact of being BAF is enough for a molly to want to kill you.
For mercs, you say "You have a bounty on your head", or " Time to die, blah balh" and you can collect your bounty (although if your are hired in-game, you have to clearly state who hired you and for what to prevent abuse.)
For some others, like LN shooting Zoners or Junkers, you need a bit more, like an explanation of what law they broke and why it neccesitates the death penalty (usually if they cooperate you should give nothing more than a fine). There it might be required to have five or six lines of rp clearly explaining why you are shooting them.
gone four years, first day back: Zoners still getting shot in Theta :|
