Greetings Achaeans,

I need to post a correction to Dumas post *12728. Dumas states that if
the thieving doesnt happen in Cyrene, you wont be enemied, that is
incorrect.

Cyrene has an Anti-theft treaty and in accordance to that treaty, will
enemy anyone that thieves against parties of the Treaty, regardless of
where the crime was committed. So the crime doesnt have to be against a
Cyrenian for you to be enemied for Theft.

For those that have never read it or for those that have, but wish to
review, read below.

I. Goal
-------

A. The city-states agreeing to this treaty accept the obligation to stop
theft or attempted theft against all citizens of the signatory cities to
this treaty.

B. To this end, all signatory cities agree to enemy any convicted thief
whose name is forwarded to the Anti-Theft Council and impose upon said
thief the minimum punishments listed in Section III, Punishments below.

II. Definition of Theft
-----------------------

A. Theft in regards to this treaty is defined by the following:

1. Any attempt to force someone to drop or hand over objects they do not
wish to part with is considered theft if the victim is not then
immediately allowed to retrieve his or her items.

2. Getting someone to willingly hand over something in exchange for
promised goods or services which are not then rendered is also
considered theft.

III. Punishments
----------------

A. If someone is found guilty of theft, ALL cities must punish the
criminal according to these minimum requirements. (Note: The fines from
each city and each offence are cumulative for the criminal, but the time
of the enemy sentences are not.) The enemy status is counted from the
last time a theft was committed, and its length may not be changed
without the approval of the Anti-Theft Council

1. First offence: 1 year of enemy status;
5.000 gold sovereign fines.

2. Second offence: 5 year enemy status;
25.000 gold sovereign fines.

3. Third and subsequent offences:
15 year enemy status;
100.000 gold sovereign fines.

IV. Anti-Theft Council
----------------------

A. An Anti-Theft Council will be formed consisting of two members from
each city as chosen by the respective city governments.

B. The Anti-Theft Council can in rare cases of especially serious theft
meet and agree to recommend to signatory cities that they deny ally
status to an offender even after said thief has served their time and
paid their fine. If denied ally status in this case, a thief may then
have their case reviewed every 5 years by the Anti-Theft Council.

C. In case of a disputed theft between cities, proof of guilt must be
obtained and presented to the Anti-Theft Council within two years of the
suspected crime. The Anti-Theft Council may then agree to recommend to
the signatory cities that a sentence be overturned if adequate proof of
guilt is not found. The act of accusation alone is not proof in this
case.
