Does RP even matter? - SeaFalcon - 09-07-2011
RP = PvP
PvP = RP
Roleplay isn't just talking to someone. It's playing a character.
If a bank robber runs into a bank and the one behind the desk goes like...
"But sir, we don't have nearly enough credits and we work hard etc etc"
Robber will just aim his gun and yell
"MONIEZ and shut up!"
inRP you can also lose, just like you can inRL.

Let me get this straight. You're complaining because a pirate didn't let you powergame out of a situation?

This right here says 95% of it.
Only about 5% of the pirates I have ever encountered were even the least bit interested in any kind of role-play.I've even gave extra for the rp.
But nowadays,sadly,they just want the blue message and all of your cargo.

As a pirate in a LF, I don't want the blue message. I can't want your cargo except if you are a cooperate flunky ).
Saying like you are saying, 5%, no too less.
You have to take within consideration, that there are quite a lot of pirates in factions, lots of them in official ones and these ones RP.
+ There are the ones, who RP, because they can.
I encounter lolwut pirates very rarely I have to say.

' Wrote:you are right, but that is not the only reason, once pirate stopped me with empty cargo hold and asked 2 mil. i said " my cargo hold is empty, i have nothing to protect, i can give you 1 mil or you can go without a penny" guess which option he chose.
You have nothing to protect...What about your ship and crew? What about your life? If you want to RP then if your ship is destroyed how are you to buy another one? Sure you can argue it is insured, but would the insurance pay you 20m for a new ship or 2m for paying a pirate??? Pay 2m or die...The alternative your ship is destroyed and you would have the cost of a new one, if this was RL so too speak.
Try RP that your ship and crew are precious items to you and dont just look on it that I can just resapwn and loose my bats and bots as I have no cargo

I think you have a problem understanding that just because there isn't quantity and because the RP is simple you don't believe it's quality. Demanding the credits and blowing you up if you don't immediately give in to his demand is exactly what a pirate would do in that situation. What do you expect, a tea party?

Try RPing a complying transport captain. You will see that RP matters.
