Admin Notice: ZOI changes for RM, BDM, BAF and BIS. (Feedback Time)

[Laura C.]

Do keep in mind that even without this addition both sides could still potentially follow someone until the next House, they just couldn't act. Though nothing prevents them taking proof of someone docking on Freeport 1 or calling in backup from their opposite, the only choice for escape remains the same.

Just that a RM taking a docking screenshot of a Hessian on FP1 would not be legitimate to force roleplay consequences, as - in the past - the RM had no ZoI there. Therefore he can take the screenshot, but he cannot do anything with it and there cannot be roleplay consequences because he is out of ZoI.

- House Miltary, Police and Intelligence factions may enforce roleplay consequences only for actions occurring within their ZOI.

So yes, this extension makes a huge difference because now (depending on how you interpret the rules), exactly this "I screen and have consequences follow" might be possible now.

A more detailled discussion of exactly these cases can be found here: http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=146453

This needs to be solved by admins by either better wording of the ID, or greentext/change of the rules which will state that roleplay consequencies may not be made for violations in another house´s system (despite it´s part of ZOI). On the other hand, it may also cause awkward situations when for example someone attacks RM patrol in O-3 and then will claim in Rheinland to be law abiding citizen (and because of the rule, lawfuls would have to treat him like that).

Anyway, admins should look into this. I am quite surprise there were no issues with LN ID which technically allows LN to enforce Liberty laws in Bretonia and even (in theory) make roleplay consequencies from it.
