Set Messages

[ryoken]

I voted yes. I see no point in them really. In 6 plus years here i have never used them. I find each encounter is different, and as such should be treated as diferent, and not a 1/ 2/ fire encounter like i see almost daily from many pirates.
I can usually tell the players usng pre sets, as most times they do not really fit the encounter.
Also i have seen a few who do not speak english use them, and when you try to talk/RP with them you get a jumble of nonesence back, or silence.
And personelly i respond to set message pirate attempts with fire. If you cannot speak, or RP with me to pirate me? Well then you did not earn payment, and shall get none.
Also some fools from a hostile faction love to 1/ 2/ you then just start firing, and i feel that also does not deserve a response. I have sat there and let a fool kill me in my Lib fighter from a RM and then had him yell i was OORP because i sat and just died. Sorry set message of 1/ you are enemy of rheinland. 2/ my orders are to kill you. pew pew is not RP to me. So i gave him all he wanted, a blue message and went to play another char.
So to sum it up i find set messages "NOT" proper RP, and as such refuse to RP back. Use set messge that meaks no sense and enjoy your free blue message. It is a game, and i will not lose a thing from it.
