Merc ID

[Virus]

It seems that most people agree with me. (Phew... Finally!)

I'll try to sum it up:

• Combat for a mercenary is not allowed except in the following cases:
  
• Self-Defense
  
• Contracts, can be made in private. Required forum post. Can be posted after the conflict.
  
• Faction War. War can only be declared in retaliation or while under contract. Required forum post.
  
  Faction Limitations:
  
• No home system.
  
• War can only be declared in retaliation to an attack or for a contract.Required forum post.
  
  General Limitations:
  
• No policing.
  
• No pirating.
  
  General Allowances: (to avoid confusion)
  
• Blackmail Blackmail would be "You're carrying contraband. Pay me X credits or I'm reporting you to the authorities."
  
• Alerting the Authorities. Alerting the Authorities would be, "I've found a smuggler/pirate/terrorist. I can either give you his location or destroy him myself... For the right price."
  
• Escorts under contract Contract does not need to be posted on forums
  
• Bounty Hunting -- Rules on forums.
  
  NOTE: Neutrality is not guaranteed. Bounty hunters and other Mercenaries commonly hate and try to kill each other, especially in the case of contract competition. Also, there are groups other than mercenaries and BH's that are known to hate mercenaries.
  
  In all cases of forum posts, name can be anonymous. Moderators may require that the name of the contractor be given to them. This is to avoid people abusing the anonymous and using one of their other characters to hire the mercenary.
  

Bolded things I did not mention previously but I believe should be added. Or they are examples since I could not always think of the words to describe the action without using one.

I understand it is somewhat redundant, but I'll leave that to Igiss. Unless he really, really wants me to fix it.
