I mean, it's not as if it's blatantly obvious if you have a trader or miner character.
Or know someone with one. XD
First, i would like to point out that this is not flood anymore.
second, this is not about how he wants to make his credits, it is about how we treat other players.

your definiton of 'real roleplay' leaves alot to be desired. (i.e.- tis a bunch of feces IMO)
'real RP' as far as taxing traders goes, would be to plunder all you can carry but not entirely destroy your cash cow in a fit of short sightedness, as a pirate would hate to ruin his easy meal ticket just to grunt 'yarr'
if you make a habit of destroying your money source, you will soon run out of money, & eventually starve & die.
Ah well, in response to pretty much everyone... That's not what I meant, perhaps I could of worded it better.
In any case, forget I said anything.
And now... I've forgotten the point I was actually going to make in response to your original statement. *facepalm*
EDIT: Marburg gets me thinking; has anyone read the Seconds Sons trilogy by Jennifer Fallon? In that story there's a pirate name Jonas Quinn, I think. Something like that, anyway. Ah, but his code is never to take as much cargo as will leave the crew of the pirated ship without a profit. This way he can pirate them many times, without them getting an escort. I hate to bring this up again Sprolf, but it does seem to be the main issue of fair play. The old '10 mill or die'.
How hard is it to stay on this topic, gents?
I'd be pleased if we could, this is not flood, and I can't see why you all keep talking about mining and piracy.

Explain to me why it's happening, then. I've seen it myself.
Anyway... Back on topic, yes? I personally agree with Sprolf - being kind is a good thing, so why not do it?
Anyhoo, I can remember the days of 'gentlemens rules' during engagements, but unfortunately, those days are long over & will never be revisited simply because of the larger size of the community these days.
It'd be nice if we all followed the golden rule as we should, but it's too late for that now...there are far too many self-centered egos involved for it to work anymore as it should.:mellow:
