You never have to say "I'm going to kill you now"

Erm.....what? I have to disagree. Like I know the things you are saying have to contain at least a connection to the workd "kill". And I also cannot say the pirate did it well. Both parties failed in RPing that makes the whole thing more OORP and less fun. And if you are even going to shot your opponent with your weapons maybe while he is typing to gain an advantage then you should meditate about the sake of RP once or twice more. You have to have a reason inRP, though. But I cannot remember to get too much of messages...not even a single sentence from -pirates-. All in all...your point isn't valid for me and reduces gamefun extremely. Think about it before trying to pirate another poor trader who is not able to defend himself without a chance of survival...neither with weapons nor with words.

EDIT: Due to misunderstanding I fixed one point in the text.

Well.

1. Terrible excuse for RP.

2. By the sound of what you said the guy was killing your shields from the second he said 2milordai so technically hes engaged without giving any time at all to respond.

3. You really should have just quick docked. I don't think idiots like this DESERVE even half the money they're asking for, even less than the half decent pirates do. Atleast with the half decent pirates you get compensation in the form of decent RP. This guy couldn't even be bothered to do that, so why should you?

You most definitely do not have to tell someone that you're going to kill them before you kill them.

If you think otherwise, I challenge you to find the rule, or even admin text, to that effect.

You don't have to give time to respond before engaging, you just have to have RP before engaging.

You only need to give them time to respond after making a demand before killing them.

I don't like players who are acutally just hunting for blue messages because it's funny (no connection to Bounty boards or something similar). It is called a RP server, not a PvP server you might recognize. And I personally wait at least ten seconds before attacking the other hostiles because I want to give them the chance to react. Maybe some warnshots till the shield is at 50%. Result: Player stops typing and begins to fight you on a fair way that both parties can enjoy.

And no...I wasn't talking about a rule. I was talking for the sake of fun here in connection with giving chances to others to react.

Veygaar is correct, Lennox is incorrect. (You can disagree, Lennox, but Veygaar is exactly correct.)

THIS used to be pinned. I suspect that it probably should be, again, if there are questions like this. (And even though I'm no longer an admin, that was written when I was an admin and was considered accepted policy. So far as I know, it has never been overturned.)

I must say though, as a pirate myself, the pirate in the OP had VERY poor RP. I hardly consider it Role Play but it's within standards.

Good english and spelling does not good roleplay make.
The quality of role play here was no different than if he had said
"Hold it right there, you dastardly trader!"
"Now give me two million of your finest credits, or I shall space you!"
Same meaning in each sentence, same roleplay.
Better execution.
