Peoples mentality about Piracy demands baffles me..

[SMGSterlin]

Ah, I see. So if a pirate asks for more than peanuts, then surely the player behind isn't roleplaying?

Good to know.

I love how you misread things, and interpret them incorrectly to fit your view.

"5milordaiyouhave10seconds" does not good RP make.

If you want RP, you have to GIVE RP, and since the pirate is the first to start the interaction with traders 90% of the time, it's up to him to give decent RP first.

Show me where I said "if he asks for more than 2 million he's a bad RPer". You can't, because I didn't say that. Statistically, lower demanding pirates tend to have a better RP and lead to both parties having more fun than higher demanding pirates. That doesn't mean someone who demands 10 million credits can't RP good, it just means that he normally doesn't.

Also note that I didn't say just because his RP of demanding 10 million credits might be decent, doesn't mean that I will enjoy it any more. Even if it's his RP and he's good at it, it's still ruining the fun for me, unless his RP is just really outstanding. Trying to ruin my fun = why should I even bother making this enjoyable for you?

I would reply to this more, but you would just read it to fit whatever would match your argument, rendering trying to have a semi-intelligent debate with you, futile.
