A pirating idea. - Abolisher - 11-22-2013
Not sure if anyone's done this before but...
What if I used a dice to decide the fate of the victim?
e.g:
Roll a...
1 - Victim can leave unscathed
2 - Victim must pay to escape unscathed
3 - Victim is brutally murdered
4 - Victim must fill me up with their cargo
5 - Victim can pay a discounted fee to escape unscathed
6 - Victim can leave unscathed
Is this a good idea? Is it fair? Am I going to get brutally murdered for thinking of an idea?

Stop so I can see if I get to kill you or not.
RE: A pirating idea. - Abolisher - 11-22-2013
That's a point. But that was also just an example.

A rather overused piracy thing, actually.
Just like demanding to barrel roll.
Or to tell a joke.
There are not many ways you can bring innovation to piracy and the whole dice thing was overused back in 84 already, once dice was implemented.

Thanks for the comments. I know what I'll do now.

Then why the hell would I stop? I'm pretty sure option 3 is against the rules.

Yeah unfortunately Option 3 is a rule-breaker. This isn't "No country for old men" where Chigurh decides to kill or leave the victim alive upon a heads or tails toss.
Otherwise I also thought of the idea. It's so simple it's just awesome. You demand the victim to toss a coin. If it's head he dies. If it's tails he may leave. But unfortunately it's just not feasible rule-wise against transports. You must make a feasible demand. If he complies he must be let to go.
The other options can be used however. I'm not sure too many would notice the above mentioned overuse. 4.84 was soooo long agoooo...

Here it is: you demand for e.g. 5 million, and a coin toss. Victim wins: half demans/he can leave without paying. Victim loses: double demand. Or you multiply it up so much he will chose to run and you can kill him.

I.e making unreasonable demands so you can get a blue message.

Done that before.
Also, gambled as well. On my transport carrying ore, Veygaar stopped me and pulled a "heads or tails" using /coin, if I guess correctly I leave unscathed, if I guess wrong, drop all cargo or dai.
I won.
