well do the victims need help with defense or not?
who is the victim?
you don't know them well enough
the people getting killed
from the conflict
its an armed conflict, people are getting shot at from both sides
you don't know which side attacked first
maybe one side opened up from their property and the other is trying to end it
all you know is two groups started fighting, and one side starts to lose.
they still have not directly threatened you
the violence is contained for the most part to these two neighboring properties
it depends entirely on the context, if they have private policing established, if they both have defense agencies there is dispute resolution agencies and arbitration
what is private policing?
or have they decided not be involved in those things and chosen to live out in the wasteland on their own
who is paying for private policing?
I would assume private police would work like ambulance
you could have crowdfunding, or you could have membership fees, or any funding method you could possibly think of that doesnt involve coercion
you get a bill at the end
so, what if they didn't feel like they needed the police
So pure volunteerism
their neighbors might pay for the police, but these 2 groups felt strong enough they didn't need it
so, you let them fight it out then
it kind of reminds me of antia and far right groups come dressed ready for a fight
not a bad comparison
maybe they should be allowed to if they are all okay with the consequences
you just let them duke it out, so long as it doesn't spill over
if it doesnt hurt anyone elses property or health
right
okay, one side loses
you now have just one group where there was two
one side has now laid claim to the other groups property
you do anything?
oh interesting point
i dont know if it would be more fair if someone else gets the loot
by someone else, do you mean the group that won, or someone not involved with the conflict?
i mean like some corporation or government
there is no corporation or government yet. its just a tribe
lets go with 2 families
happened often enough in history
well i assume the killed group would have had friends or family, perhaps they have a higher claim to the property
