.. and there is plenty more. You gave discretionary right to ask for registration if they want. And it's used mainly everywhere.

I think you're missing something here. The official faction - the BHG| - has a seperate and specific contract over and above the regular bounty boards that has other terms. We've either been paid a large sum of monies, or been granted permission for ships, or a combination of both - and as a part of those specific contracts we're simply fulfilling them when we shoot pirates in those sectors.

While there may be an additional bounty to collect, in effect we've already been paid to kill some of these pirates once.

Now, on the general bounty boards, if - and that exclusion may be the word that your argument is hinging upon - the poster of the bounty says that any BHG ID'd can collect it, then all BHG ships are eligible for it and don't need to register. That means that we in the official faction can collect that bounty, as can anyone with the BHG ID. However - the bounty poster MAY restrict that bounty to official faction only ships, which have the BHG| tag. (That's why we have some contracts out there, and is part of the privilege of being in the official faction - there are some people we can pew that others can't.)

Realize also that in the event of a combat kill that's under an existing contract where we as the official faction have already been paid, all we need to do is notify the bounty poster somewhere that we made the kill, either in our message dump or preferrably in the actual contract posting. The pilot may not even be aware of an additional bounty being posted upon his target - it takes a LOT of paperwork to play a bounty hunter. I know Felix used to have a small spiral notebook that he used - I use Excel to keep a spreadsheet.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
