6.37 Organisational Charges System

The org charges system is used to charge a person with a crime against your
organisation. This feature is available to cities, houses, orders and
high clans.

When charging a player, you can specify either a predefined crime (See HELP
CRIMES) or specify a custom charge name.*  Once a charge is laid, you can edit
the fine, term, and date. You can also add notes to the log of a charge.

Currently only members of an organisation who can enemy/unenemy people can
create, edit, or drop charges but any member of the organisation can view the
list of active charges. Only the leader or patron of an organisation can drop
charges with a fine of SPECIAL or a term of PERMANENT.  When unenemying a
person, all charges are automatically dropped and because of this, enemies
charged with a PERMANENT term or SPECIAL fine can only be unenemied by the
organisation leader or patron.

The reason for enemying and unenemying is logged in the charge history for the
enemy.

The history of inactive charges will be retained for a period of 200 IC years
at which time they will be removed.
