Placing a Bounty.

[Athenian]

Here's something to consider as well:

- Bretonia and Kusari are on unfriendly terms (on and off conflict on their borders with each other).

- Pirates who conduct their piracy against Kusari and do not bother Bretonian traders would likely be recognized by Bretonia as tolerable. These pirates ... in role play ... would not be bountied by Bretonia. But they would be bountied by Kusari. And of course ... BHG could not collect a Kusari bounty due to reps.

- Same would go with GMG and Rheinland. GMG are not friends of Rheinland ... at best they are "pink" with one another. Piracy on Rheinland traders in the Sigmas would likely cause the GMG to turn their eyes from these pirate's activities. However GMG are friendly with Kusari so piracy of a Kusari trader might draw attention from GMG.

- Bounties should be placed on unlawfuls based on their reps with those being pirated (as illustrated above). Generic bounties do not take these situations into account. Perhaps a better way to post a bounty would be if the pirate is actively pirating within your house. But if he's pirating your enemy ... turn the other way as if you are unaware of his presence or activities.

It might be an idea to remove holders of independent pirate i.d.'s from certain bounties. That way, the authorities are targetting organised crime and members of known criminal gangs.
