Privateer ID

[Juan_Arquero]

Obviously, this thread needs input from a Grammar Nazi!:P

Mercenary ID : Pilot carrying this ID is a mercenary who works for him/herself, unwilling to join the Bounty Hunters Guild or any other faction. Mercenary ID grants its owner right to fulfil lawful and unlawful bounty contracts, escort traders and smugglers, hunt pirates and terrorists, participate in military operations on lawful or unlawful side. Mercenary ID owner is not allowed to pirate or trade on regular basis.

If "on a regular basis" only applied to trading, then there should be a comma immediately behind the word pirate. As it is written, "on a regular basis" modifies both "pirate" and "trade".

Xoria: Adding a comma wouldn't reduce the confusion. You are right that as written, "on a regular basis" modifies both "pirate" and "trade." (Note where I placed the period.) However, I strongly believe that is NOT the intent of Igiss, as I've seen mercenaries get sanctioned for piracy because they helped defend pirates from traders. I've seen Hoodlum clearly state in sanction threads that mercenaries are NOT allowed to pirate.

Thus, mercenaries can pirate and trade, but may not do either regularly. The real issue is, what exactly constitutes regularly? For QCP's purposes, I doubt it would be a problem.

Wrong! "Mercenary ID owner is not allowed to pirate or trade on regular basis." should be reworded as follows: "Mercenary ID owner is not allowed to pirate at all or trade on regular basis."

EDIT: I haven't voted as all four choices violate server rules. Junkers ID and Pirate ID both prohibit allying with lawful forces (BAF/QCO/SF). Mercenary ID and BAF ID both prohibit piracy.
