Stronghold of Choice OOC

[Eccles]

I just like to say that, despite being a fake drunk Mandalorian, me not getting that mojito really saddens me. Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves not allowing me to post all the stages of drunkenness. Now I''ll just have to hope that next time I manage to incorporate the sudden puking before passing out.

#despicable.

 

[Sreeya]

Well damn I missed all this playing the Sims 4. Oops.

 

[Gaiaverse]

Uh....so can I leave....it seems the two sides had come to a compromise.

I'm having a mini-panic attack over this and I just want to set the thread behind me.

 

[Diva]

I am actively pursuing your bounty now @Gaiaverse . The agreement is this: With a little chat in thread. IF I take you, Diva will hold you during the battle, and will straight up give Prudii what he needs to track Emil to her family so you two can have a fun rescue thread. Prudii did not speak for you in that chat, and did put a hard IF on it, but know that this is my goal

 

[Lucy Lou]

*takes back the shot from Diva* :P

Tho on a serious note. If it's causing stress, personally I say drop it for later. I've been there done that and it ruins everything RP related.

Can we please? A lot of stuff happened at once and I kinda...am panicking and scrambled.

I will also say that since everyone has been hired by the Republic technically you're going against Republic yourself by attacking a Defender hired by the Republic to help Onderon. The Jedi's help was requested are you going to put a bounty on yourself since you hindering republic effort in defending Onderon? Sounds like a conflict of interest that could lead to a canceling of future contracts to me.

I doubt pursuing a bounty against a freelance defender of Onderon, not an actual member of the GAR or otherwise official representative, would cause such a negative fallout. If the Jedi and/or the Republic insist on it I'm sure they'd contact the BHG and arrange for Emilgotha's freedom prior to her delivery.

 

[Lucy Lou]

I would say that yes, it would be frowned on by the Jedi. Imo. That one of our own is captured by a republic affiliated group while we were there to assist with the attack at the republic's request. Seems a bit underhanded. As, and I maybe mistaken, the BHG was hired by the Republic for the defense. Thus their actions then reflect back on their employer.

 

[Fyremage]

Hey guys! So I must admit I don't understand the full situation, aside from a bounty hunter trying to capture one of the freelance defenders of the Republic.

I'll try and read through the thread, but can someone catch me up to speed?

From what I can gather, my official stance is:

While the Republic would officially not fault the apprehension of a criminal with a bounty placed on their head, they would probably unofficially prefer that defenders not be interfered with. Something along the lines of a lull in normal SOP.

 

[Lucy Lou]

It's not a criminal bounty. It's a bounty by a sith/sbz.

 

[Gaiaverse]

Frankly

Emil isn't a criminal. The bounty is solely to eliminate a loose end/bring her back. She's a Jedi.

 

[Fyremage]

The Republic would view any bounty placed by the SBZ/Sith as an invalid and illegal bounty. Any attempt at trying to fulfill a bounty like that within Republic Space would be considered a criminal act.

Note, I am not forbidding the action. I am merely saying that is how the Government would view it.

EDIT: And by criminal act, I mean to say that any GAR units that have witnessed it would be free to apprehend the bounty hunter.

 

[Gaiaverse]

The story on Emil's end was that she was trying to get Prudii away from the rest so things could cool down (Even apologized to Diva and told her she was in the right). Apparently the Chosen didn't like that.

So if Diva gets the bounty right in there....she'll be a criminal? What would happen to the BHG?

So it's up to @Diva Tumi anyway, but officially the bounty is placed by the "House of Goth" and not the Sith Brotherhood. Don't know where that places us, this thing and the larger scope, but personally I'd like to see the Jedi and Republic try (PEACEFULLY, or not) to prevent the captured Emil to be delivered to said House of Goth.

Nothing. As it'd need to be confirmed that it's an illegal bounty, plus the BHG Guildmistress would be perfectly fine outside of Republic space.

 

[Fyremage]

The BHG would probably be informed of the infraction, and as per the legislation passed regarding the BHG, would be held liable by the Republic.

The House of Goth are Sith, who happen to rule a planet via inheritance. The planet itself is allied with the Sith, if only because of location.

While yes, i did specifically call out the sbz and sith, the principle remains the same. Any bounty on a person who has committed no crime, or done anything warranting apprehension in the eyes of the republic would be considered invalid. Bringing in such a person would be equal to kidnapping in the eyes of the republic, and killing them tantamount to murder.

While I understand this point of view, I'm not sure what the deal is about the neutrality of the BHG as that same viewpoint would nullify and criminalize bounties of certain Outer Rim worlds. If that needs to be fleshed out, so be it, but it doesn't seem to me to be that black and white.
