The Mollys + Post #109.

[Jack_Henderson]

If this is true why you act as such? At the very moment when your profits were in danger the stunts started.

Can't you see that the "stunts" were roleplay? The valid reaction of someone who would ingamely hate to see his situation deteriorate? That's just the most logic reaction that you will get.

Did you except to come in with [M], put a paper on the table, we sign and you are good to go? You are a new, emerging faction, coming out of the chaos of the breakdown of the last official one. We rp-ed it as something like a revolution inside the Molly, a shift of generations.

Of course the IMG, as a party that had good deals with the old generation, would not yell "Great!!!" to the new guys. So we would do "stunts". Sure. That's roleplay.

If this is also true I can make blind shot and offer you cease of the hostilities. You come back to Dublin you mine, we catch you mining you give us the half of your cargo in cargo or in credit value.

I would not care, personally, as I have all the money I need. But it would hurt our new members and we are a beginner faction. And, sorry, 50 % is ridiculous. You spend 10-30 seconds "roleplay" on pirating and we spend 10 minutes mining. That's not working. Every player with a bit of a sense of fairness will hate it.

This is why I said: respect the wishes of the players you cooperate with. You and me need to cooperate, even though our characters might not like each other.

We dock with everything that we have on Hood except with cruisers.

Great understanding of IMG diplomacy. *irony* That would make BAF place Battleships around Hood and restrict IMG's movement to 10 k around Hood. We had that before. If you want to cooperate, you need to know the limits of what is possible.

Fact: IMG Hood is in Dublin. That means: BAF doesn't want it gone (they could annex it irply). So good RP demands of IMG not to do anything that would irply lead to BAF taking Hood.

Letting all Mollys land on Hood after their stunt of shooting the BAF Admiral next to Hood is just impossible.

To be honest, I think the IMG is generous by allowing all civilian Molly traffic (miners, traders, liners, freighters) to dock there. Hood is a place of trade. All traders are welcome. Warships are not in a war.

IMG agrees to deliver 10 000 different units of supplys to us per month.

I proposed things like that. Even dangerous, covert stuff like firearms, etc.

We have nothing against IMG mining, we have against IMG mining molly fields for 1 mill if catched.

And I agreed that the old treaty needed changes. It used to be okay when Garda was around. It was a different time. But yes, we were in the process of changing. But you could not wait to force us into war before even a rough draft could be made.

Would you agree on something like that if you are not "only money" type of miners?

I would. Our player base of new players (check our recruitment thread and the forum registrations if you don't believe me) would be seriously hurt by the numbers you proposed. So I cannot do that. I won't waste 50 % of their play time on 20 seconds of mediocre pirate interaction.

Other option is to ask the devs to remove the mining bonus for Dublin. Other group of really non-gready people done it as Zoner mining company-they mined tons of ore without any mining bonus just to justify their Role-Play.

Why don't you pirate for a bottle of rum if you are not looking for money? This game is driven by the movement of money. And I already explained that a beginner faction needs to have incentives and possibilities to earn money to get into the game.

If you want a lively Dublin, do not fiddle with the bonus. If you want a better Dublin, increase the BMM bonus. But that's another sandbox.

Leave the mining to MMC just buy the ore from them, we in [M] can also make several shared miners and sell you ore.

THAT is the first useful proposition you have made (as long as it is limited to Arranmore field). The first creative, economically feasible attempt to do things the right way.

But coming in our field offering 1 mill and crying why we dont accept it and how bad are we is pathetic.

I never contended that the 1 million contract was not reasonable any more.
