Pirate CDs you, you halt. You immediately write "I stopped!". Take a picture with you on 0 speed and your line. Why? If he kills you now bc he is hunting for blues, is a lolwut or whatever... you can easily sanction. You have to be fast! 30 seconds to write 2 words should be a maximum you safely have.
He makes a demand. Screen the demand. If he does not make a demand and shoots you, you sanction him.
If he does not give you time to answer to the demand, sanction him.
As long as the pic shows that you were not "running away" (see step above) you will get him in the sanction IF he shoots you without demand or when he does not give you enough time to answer... IF you are not running away. If you are moving during that time, a pirate can kill you and he is right in doing so.
Comply to the demand if it is not outrageous. Pirates are part of the game. If the demand is outrageous (like... 15 mils from an empty T), screen the demand and report it. Admins will decide (demanding all your cargo is NOT a sanctionable demand, by the way).
If it is a normal demand, hey... play and pay. Or run for base, or fight... Disco would be bad without a threat.
If you were killed in anything that was not clean piracy, collect your screens, also the one of your own blue message.
Then log to your dsace.log, which holds exact time stamps for every line that was written. This way, it becomes clear whether enough time was given between demand and kill. Copy paste the whole encounter into the report...
Et voila... get a sandwich if you feel upset about what happened, and play somewhere else. Smile
Can you please not make a big thing out of an unrefined post I made in a setmsg thread?
A real guide to being Pirated Successfully earns a lot more thought.
All I focussed on was: "being able to report those who "/l1, /l2, engage" abusers".
I take it as a compliment that you found it useful, but it is not useful as a general advice.
This is a really terrible how to get pirated tutorial.
A note, you can't sanction anyone, you can't get someone sanctioned. The admins sanction people and the only people who "get" someone sanctioned are the people who break the rules.
This tutorial assumes everyone is just an a-hole. If you expect everyone to be an A-hole, that's what you will get. Seriously. We see what we expect to see.
You want a good how to be pirated tutorial?
1) Stop, if you are near a lane make sure you are not close enough that he might think you are trying to get in the lane. Make sure you aren't set to autodock with the lane when it comes back up.
2) See what he says. Respond. RP.
3) Give into the demand.... or not.
4) Accept the consequences of your decision to give into the demand or not.
5) Do not go oorp to the pirate after to complain.
6) Keep making credits.
Sorry Jack, didn't see your post until after I posted.
Tutorials must be written with a certain level of respect towards both parties. That and a certain neutrality.
If this has been meant to be a rather humorous attempt at explaining the more negative encounters, that would be fine, but then this thread does not belong in this section.
