A female minor would have no rights, where a male minor would have some. So I would suggest to Vin to change "Free = female under 18" to "Minor = female under 18".<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Vin is right, females are free until they are 18 (and the system I described in the first post IIRC allows them around 28 days after their birthday to be registered). However the education system and their parents or guardians choices in where they are schooled pretty much fixes, in advance, whether they will be enslaved at 18 or set free. There's a big element of brainwashing, in a sense, in the school system, so many girls even though technically free before the age of 18 are simply 'slaves-in-waiting'.<br/><br/>Those whose CMRs have planned to keep them free usually send them to different (fee paying) schools that don't have the slave-ed curriculum. So female minors definitely have to be treated the same as male minors with regards to rights.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=141836.msg6497340#msg6497340">Quote from: vin26m on 26-06-2012, 22:20:03</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">If someone brings in a female,</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>You keep using this phrase as though its a common occurrence, but in effect females are only brought to the BAF to be registered as slaves. There is no black market and its extremely rare for there to be runaways (the GPAX drugs in the collar fix that).<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">One of the following will happen:<br/><br/>1. If she's registered and free (her fees paid up and she therefore has an EFS license), DNA will confirm her status and she can be released.  (As an aside, if a free female loses her license or her license is stolen, DNA will clear her and she can get a new license, since she's paid up.)</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Correct, though why is she being "brought in"? A Free Woman will no more be 'brought in' than a man would be. As you said, the DNA checks make it impossible to cheat the system without a very corrupt official on the inside which is rare.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">2. If she's registered and a slave, DNA will confirm her status and she can be returned to her owner.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Yes, but very rare (see above). You might get one of these per year per major BAF office.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">3. If she's unregistered and under 18, she's released.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Correct.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">4. If she's unregistered and 18 or over, <del>she's taken into custody as a public slave</del>.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Her records are checked to see if there is a CMR. If there is, she is returned to him, or more likely she is kept in a holding facility and he is given 21 days to redeem her before she's made a public slave and put into the system. If she's Free and her tax paperwork is in order she is released - again though I ask why you keep saying these girls are being "brought in"?<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">If a bounty system is in place,</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>It isn't. I am closing the discussion on bounty systems at this point.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">While we're at it, is there a purpose to delaying registration of a female until she turns 18?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Yes, the law. The act of registration is... personally invasive and it is forbidden to do it to minors. Registration isn't about filling in a few forms and giving a saliva swab, as the discussions we had today about Karin's registration showed!<br/><br/>As there are a few crooked characters in the game, yes, I did want your character to be straight. It looks like he may have to replace Urbanzorro's character and so he's needed for a few plotty reasons!<br/><br/>There<em>is</em>some dodgy stuff going on but I'll only feed you details as the game goes on ;)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=141836.msg6497788#msg6497788">Quote from: vin26m on 26-06-2012, 23:51:45</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Hmm, interesting ideas, Chrystal.  I will think about your points more.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>As Chrystal says, she and I hammered all this through during the creation of her character and the system I created is so watertight that in frustratian she almost gave up making a slave trafficking character! In the end I provided a snippet of information that made sense, or else Chrystal might have made a character who ran a flower shop or something instead!
