The Bounty Hunters' Creed - The Code of Conduct

I swear allegiance to the Guild and to the Work. I swear that I will faithfully perform the duties the Guild lays upon me. May I be struck dead if I am found wanting.

I declare and affirm that

I
I am a craftsman. I will not ply my trade for free.

II
I will defend myself with sword and flame against those who would do me harm.

III
I am a master of my trade. I will not harm the innocent.

IV
I am a man of the law. I will uphold the laws of the Houses.

V
I am a servant of the Guild. I will preserve its secrets. I will guard its tools.

VI
I am a journeyman. I am one face of the Guild. I will uphold its reputation.

Spoiler

Translated, this means that you are bound to the following general principles of game-play:
You may only hunt people if they are the subjects of a posted bounty.
You can always defend yourself against attacks.
We never attack lawfuls of any House.
We are a lawful organisation. We do not perform any unlawful actions.
We use jump-holes. We never reveal their location to anyone.
Despite being a faction that relies on combat to justify its existence, role-play is our priority.

Recruitment Procedure

The Bounty Hunters Guild is the traditional house / border world hunter organisation. We hunt bounties, assist lawful forces, provide security services, escort (trade) ships and do some spy work on the side. We primarily employ demobilised soldiers from all corners of Sirius, bankrupted businessmen, retired policemen, war veterans, former convicts, illegal immigrants and the dregs of society who are unfit, unwilling or ineligible to serve or who are normally left doing the jobs considered too dirty for anyone else. The amnesty conditions that the Guild has negotiated with governments mean that becoming a hunter provides an opportunity to end an old life and begin a new one.

Rules and guidelines members must adhere to

1) Sufficient rp. No one expects you to write novels when a target is spamming his cruise button, but don't go "Engaging pirate" and start shooting. RP your hunter as a real Bounty Hunter. Remember, hunters are usually far from nice people. Feel free to RP your hunter as a shady crook etc.

2) Fairplay. Don't send 3 Gunboats after a lone bomber. Don't use 4 Fighters to down a lone Fighter. Keep in mind that the guy who is absorbing your fire wants to have fun as well.

3) Keep an eye on the emergency Skype chat. A lot of our guys get attacked by overwhelming forces. When someone asks for help, and you can offer it, do so. You'd like some backup as well when you have 3 Solaris Ascos shooting at you, yes?

4) Treat your fellow faction members and other disco players with respect. No screaming abuse, calling names etc. If you're being a jerk, you're out of the faction in no time.

5) We get some players who are rather new to disco. Continuing BHG|'s philosophy, there are no issues with letting them join. But read the rules before applying. And better yet, make an indie hunter a fly it for a while. See how stuff works. The application test will test knowledge of the rules, but if you break rules ingame, you'€™re still out. New player or not.

6) No, we don't fly caps. Orca is the biggest ship you'll get to fly. Having at least 1 snub and using it is mandatory. Don't spam gbs. just.... don't. remember, for every gb launcing into space, a baby seal is clubbed to death and eaten. By other baby seals. It s sickening. So prevent this from happening by flying snubs.
