I'll throw something out here, since I was recently online in one of my Nomad ships.
As we're all well aware, the Nomads RP through mind-speech. In other words, telepathy. That means that when we send out a comment directly to someone via PM, we're implanting that directly into their brain, as part of our RP.
So when I, in RP, send a couple of PM's directly to players in an attempt to initiate RP with them - and the answer is, "Pew the blue dildo" in system chat (okay, it wasn't QUITE that bad, but almost) - and there is ZERO attempt to respond to my RP attempts, that pretty much answers the activity question.
Yes, I was attempting to influence an ongoing fight. That I was trying to do so without guns fits into my personal role-playing style, and also shows how dangerous Nomads should be, because we shouldn't NEED to use guns all the time.
Telling someone directly via nomspeak (in PM) that they experience great pain, and are now blind and cannot see, tends to mean - hey, you can't see anymore and you have blinding headaches, and should maybe respond in kind. So yeah, while shooting is part of RP as well - but how can we be the respected enemies for East Sirius when people don't want to respect the RP?
