Mon'Star's RP

[Athenian]

ive been reading the thread the whole way through and i have a few thoughts....
terrorism is mostly a question of perspective - while one person's perception of an individual's activities may be that they are "psychopathic" and pursuing needless slaughter, there is the OTHER perspective - i.e. that the person is engaged in violence for political purposes. The IRA bombed shopping centres in the UK - yet many people within the organisation believed (however misguided it might seem) that this was to secure what they saw as a legitimate objective. If a terrorist player is clear in stating what particular end they are pursuing, much of the malice and ill will ive seen in these posts would probably disappear. For the sake of RP, my xeno is prone to lengthy and tedious lectures about the fascist liberty regime and attempts to control the airwaves. Sure its annoying, but thats what you get if you are only able to fly an eagle and have to hightail it when a gunboat shows up. Perhaps terrorists should be more clear about what they are terrorising and why.
And if a terrorist is really terrorising you, then do as is done in real life. Send in the special forces. When i started playing, i got really tired of being taxed on my to kusari space. Result: i start making allies, running in convoys, communicating with other traders...i.e. enjoying a RP game by becoming immersed in it. Oh, and I value every credit i make even more as a result. Now that is realistic.
Sorry if i rambled a little.
Great game.
