Right after an evening of abuse and discussion, I've redrawn our zone of influence. Commenst and suggestions please?
Operational Zones Wrote:Zone of Influence
The Guild is in the curious position of having a zone of influence that extends throughout Sirius. This leads many to the incorrect assumption that we are an international police force. This is hardly the case: bounty hunters have varying levels of authority in their duties with regard to their targets, depending on the jurisdictions in which they operate. State legal requirements are often imposed on out-of-state bounty hunters, meaning a suspect could temporarily escape re-arrest by entering a state in which the bounty hunter has limited or no jurisdiction.
To reflect this, agents are assigned to separate operational zones.
ANY AGENT DEVIATING FROM AN ASSIGNED OPERATIONAL ZONE WILL HAVE HIS LICENSE REVOKED.
Agents will receive ONE warning the first time they deviate. A second violation will mean expulsion from the faction.
Requests for transfers will only be considered if there is persuasive justification given.
Special contracts: player set contracts against named factions or individuals.
