Rules need change.

[Lonely Werewolf]

5.2 All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. "Engaging" is not sufficient. An attack is any hostile action that drains shields to less than 50%. Being hit with a CD is not considered an attack. If a player is attacked he has a right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking.

3.When someone is going to kill another is he need telling him that he will kill him or something like fire or halt? It means that you have to tell him that you going to shoot him but why? No logic in that at all. If you can hide by using Cloaking Devices and you see near enemy of your faction that means you have to tell him that you going to attack him before you do. It`s not RP if your RP is like assassin.

Also I have a further point to add to what others said about this. If silent engaging was alowed there would be absolute anarchy. And rule 6.9 would be harder to enforce. Why? Well because say your sitting there doing nothing or ming or trading or whatever. And some random player turns up. And they shoot and kill you. Especially in systems busy with players, you won't be scanning everyone once they are within range. If this guy instakills you, sure maybe he was bounty hunter or freelancer killing you (a pirate) or maybe a pirate attacking your navy player etc.

But he could also have easily have been someone who isn't allowed to shoot you. Could have same ID as you or an ally. When busy you don't see every change of player and can't be paranoid and scan em all (but it's adviced to scan whoever you meet anyways). But if someone starts RP'ing or talking to you, you at least get a warning that they are there and have noticed you so can scan ID. That way you know who they are and why they killed you. If no need for RP you'll get killed by folks all the time, who could even be allies but you'll not know who they were and can't report. Hence this rule is essential!
