Privateers

[Stoat]

Privateers are a law unto themselves. Always have been and should remain so. Bret privateers should be operating freely in Kusari, the Taus, Bretonia AND the Sigmas now, considering Gallia's association with Rheinland. And anyone they catch in the areas I mentioned should be fair game, unless they are flying Bretonian colours (ie a lawful Bret ID or IFF). It should be down to their role-playing to convince a privateer that they are not supplying Bretonia's enemies. And a small donation to the war effort never goes amiss..........

It seems there's a swelling of incomers to the server that have no interest in playing their roles sensibly, and prefer to exploit the wording of their IDs to do stupid things as described in the OP. Not anything new there. However, it is these players that need action taking against them, NOT the IDs they happen to be using. Otherwise you just end up with useless IDs.

This is, of course, the opinion of a Privateer. I don't want to see my RP avenues throttled, nor do I want those who play the privateer role sensibly to be adversely affected. So I obviously disagree with Aet's opinion vehemently. Unfortunately the only route that seems to get followed is to restrict those who play sensibly because of the actions of the few that don't.

God save the Queen.
