Hello!

As this has come up multiple times in the last few days, it seems appropriate to remind all players about our policy regarding bounties and out of city crimes such as chopping down trees, destroying Dejaani shrines, kidnapping villagers, et cetera. Per Announce 3474, we stated the following:

You can file city bounties for crimes against the city that don't occur in the city OR you can kill the people doing it in the moment. Not both. You cannot hunt them down after without a bounty.

If you choose not to file bounties, you are choosing to forfeit your city's cause to hunt these players. If you contest a crime in any way, shape, or form, your city has taken matters into their own hands and you may no longer file bounties for it. That should be the guiding principle in all interactions with these systems.

Thank you and I hope you all have an excellent day!
