Multiple ships hunting us meant only one thing to us. Perhaps "harrassment" was to strong a term. You think of another term for multiple battleships hunting down and trying "Isolate" two fighters. Those two judge ships must be "Very" important for multiple K'Hara ships to travel so far to "RP" with. Would the term RP even work with that? Be honest here with yourself if not me. Rolls reversed, what would you honestly call it?
Actually, there's a Wilde system fairly close to Cambridge, and those K'Hara ships were already heading towards Cambridge before I even grouped with them to see if we could trap you and, essentially, force you to roleplay. Cambridge is actually a good place to get interaction with a variety of factions - BPA, BAF, miners from the Omegas (IMG and other factions). It wasn't quite as planned as you might wish to think.
And yes, the term RP works just fine. Perhaps the K'Hara, as alien as they are, were genuinely interested in exactly what those Judges are and whether they're: potential spies, potential enemies, a nuisance or "none of the above"? There hasn't been any real K'Hara - Judge interaction, and I was simply curious what'd come of it.
Generally, superior force is actually the way to get roleplay. If your opponent knows they stand no chance and you manage to get them "trapped" somewhere, their only real option is to either run or try to "talk" their way out of it. That's why we took the approach we did.
I'd like to note that I don't think you really did anything wrong, although logging a ship systems away is, in a sense, a little odd - how'd you get there so fast *in roleplay*?
