' Wrote:Athenian, I didnt suggest it for the Core ID.
The BHG Core is allowed destroyers to battleships, and their purpose is to fight the order. The normal BHG ID is only allowed up to gunboats, same as any pirate faction, and should not require a forum posted bounty to engage unlawfuls.
Well, if you want to argue with the admins about it, you're free to do so.
However, that announcement came down ex cathedra, and we have to live with it. Until the Admins say otherwise, bounty hunters MUST have a bounty of some kind on an unlawful to begin the engagement. You can blather and holler at Athenian all you want - he's NOT the one that made that rule.
Of course, role playing as a bounty hunter - if I'm NOT getting paid to take someone on, why would I want to do so? There's no reward in it for me. The police - they get paid their salary for doing taking down unlawfuls. That's WHY the 'generic' house bounties are so important for our operations.
