' Wrote:Recently I was attacked by a Mandalorian, on my Molly Scylla, in California (yeah yeah, i know, not the point).
At first I thought it no problem, just collecting a bounty.
Then, today, I noticed a new post in your evidence dump.
I noticed my kill wasn't in there.
My interest piqued, I kept searching and searching, and I cannot find a post claiming me anywhere.
More importantly, I cannot find any bounty that would apply to a Molly Scylla in California. Anywhere.
And most important of all, I actually offered the Mandalorian in question 10 million credits to help me kill a Reaver, on whom he would also be able to collect a myriad of other bounties.
Instead, he attacked me.
Now, as i see it, there are only two explanations.
One, he was paid by the Reaver to help kill me.
Two, he killed me without a bounty, against my offer of credits for help against an enemy of his who he would most likely have shot anyways.
I dont remember the name unfortunately, but it is buried in my DSAce log somewhere.
If you wish, i can dig it out, but I'm not going through that trouble if you plan on ignoring me.
As a Consul in Mandalorian Mercenary organization, please allow me to address your concerns. The MM in question happened upon you at the same time as a Reaver. He chose to collect on this bounty:
Client Identification: Liberty Government - LN, LPI, LSF
Terms of Service:
Target(s) - Any individual or group engaged in activities deemed unlawful by the Libertonian Government while inside Libertonian territories. THIS INCLUDES THE NTF IN KANSAS
Zone(s) of Interest - Liberty
Guidelines - Observe courtesy and friendliness towards the Libertonian authority and render aid to its officials only when requested/accepted.
Restrictions - Do not circumvent Libertonian authority under any circumstances. Do not engage targets already engaged by Liberty officials unless expressly authorized. Do not engage registered associates.
Fees - 2 million credits per unassisted kill / 1 million credits per assisted kill (Libertonian Officials).
Whenever a mercenary is offered credits from the target, it is up to the individual mercenary to decide whether he wants to accept the offer, or remain faithful to the original contract.
In your case, you were a Molly Destroyer in California??? I can't imagine what you were doing there and how that helps you establish an independent Dublin, but I'm not privy to Molly politics. The point being, you were an unlawful in Liberty space, flying a capital ship no less. The MM was well within his rights to take you down.
Why didn't he accept your offer to collect on the Reaver? Because he is a greedy bastard that wanted you to weaken the Reaver enough so that after killing you, he could finish off the Reaver.
Unfortunately, not only did he not get the kill message that came with your destruction, but two other Reavers showed up, and scared him off. Our MM are greedy, but they are not suicidal.
He didn't post a claim on the bounty, because he didn't actually get the kill and the bounty calls for a million credits with Libertonian assistance. Neither of these applied, so he chose not to make a report. If you wish, I can have him put a report in our Message dump, but you might be better served without the notoriety.
