GMG| Feedback

[Baltar]

Balter, I fully remember your concern it was a topic that was heavily discussed. Your pirates concern brought in to question the newly erected GMG bounty board as it included the Pirate ID. It didn't take into account that the generic Pirate ID was for specially RP'd characters that differed from the normal freelancer factions (i.e: a Robin Hood type pirate). The discussion led to a vote between making a fix to the bounty board or dealing with diplomacy on a case by case scenario with Pirate ID'd players. The bounty board has been updated. The generic Pirate ID was removed and was replaced with "and any <ship type> caught in the act of piracy/terrorism that does not have either BD IF or IFF". We will still be harsh to "all" piracy except that we pay BD to target Samura and we turn a blind eye if they are pirating traders going to their Chugoku JH. If you have a Pirate ID and wish to pirate in Sigma without being bothered you'll need to set up a deal with BD and switch IFF to BD. I apologize if this conflicts with any deals you had with an earlier GMG but we studied what they did and none of their deals or diplomacy apply with the current GMG|.

Edit Add: Balter, I am sorry I myself haven't responded to your diplomatic post. The thing is, Raikoke is the one Guild Master that captains a Guild Trade Ship. As the highest ranking trader in the corporation you can well imagine the many levels of contempt she has for pirates and she just isn't the type of charater to enter diplomacy with them. This isn't against you personally, it's part of her personality along with with her un-hidden ambitious greed.

Hmm ... ok ... well ... so long as I am not harassed by bounty hunters we will have no problems. But ... keep in mind that my diplomatic request includes me leaving GMG and Kishiro alone in exchange for not being hunted. So ... safety for me equals safety for you and yours. Its a mutual exchange of benefits, respect and profit.

EDIT: BTW ... I do conduct trade with Blood Dragons. I supply them with water, food and medicine. Just to make sure you understand where I stand.
