Accepting Surrender

'''At the start of an open sea battle you must demand 100% surrender from any captain ten levels or more below you. When given the option of accepting said surrender you must do so. Surrenders offered by captains entering from the reinforcement point may be accepted at the captain's discretion.'''

Rules Clarifications :
 * You do not have to explain these rules to your opponents.
 * You may ask the enemy to surrender on other terms.
 * You are only required to demand surrender if you are the aggressor.
 * Normal grouping rules apply, the leader of the group or fleet's word is final.
 * Port Battles are voluntary actions and as such acceptance of surrenders is the captain's discretion

Reporting captains who breach the rules of war
If you see an SGS captain who does not follow the rules of war detailed above you should report that captain to the flag officers. Evidence in the form of screen shots will be required. In the case of a proven breach of regulations compensation will be offered by the squadron.

Underwriting Losses from Surrendered Ships
If you offer 100% surrender to an SGS captain and he then sinks you the society will underwrite your loss. Provided you can give screen shot evidence that the surrender was offered in good time and was not accepted.
