Something disturbing I have noticed during my pirate-trader interactions

[sindroms]

You act like an idiot as a person, without consideration or regard for other players, and you wonder why people don't want to play with you as a player, if they know it's you?

Why? The quality of your RP is secondary if nobody likes you enough to give you the time of day.

Allllright then. Alllllllllllllllllright then. It is 7am on a monday, I am fueled by sleepiness and cheap coffee and one redbull. So here we go.




I will say this right now, I will be the first to say that what I said in the OP was an utterly retarded thing to say, especially with the whole "RP Purity" Disco has developed over the years. Obviously, I will not go all ''lol jk, I didnt meant that'', no, I meant ever word of it.

I rarely pirate for the RP, because that is not where I get that satisfaction from. I mostly pirate for some cheap income and the blue messages.

However, what I did NOT imply here, was that I do not roleplay on these characters. Even my Xenos, which I use just to frak with traders, even those give plenty of roleplay before sending the filthy Kusarian and his stale rice back to Kyushu in an escape pod.

You will NEVER see me not roleplay my characters, no matter how mundane the action seems considering the set of circumstances at the time, be it a group fight or whatever. Out of all the sanctions I have gotten over the years, you will find only one, where I had not given enough roleplay before an engagement and that one too was a bit sketchy.

I could go out at a limb here and fraps my piracy encounters and my so called ''second grade RP'', but I doubt that you'd take it seriously. How about you just look up some of my old 15min footage. I tend to cover a wide variety of piracy types, from the regular asshole pirate, who will make you drop all your cargo and make you shoot it, to the guy in a starflyer, forcing you to buy tickets to his concert for 5 000$ a piece.

I am just going to sound like a pillock for saying this, but I can bet that my second grade roleplay is still better than half of the dross you'd encounter ingame these days. Yes, I just said that. RP elitism at its finest, hurr durr. If you want to blame me, blame me for that.


Frankly, McNeo, you can call me what you want to call me, but I will simply ignore it anyway. Because first of all, I have all rights to dismiss any critique I get, because it feels good. Secondly, you have never encountered me ingame or in real life to say that. Thirdly, you do not know any of my characters, unless you are referring to every single pirate you have met during the last few months, (granted only if you are actually one of the vets, who bother to play on the server these days, instead of backing up arguments on things you have encountered years ago) and blaming me for being one of them only because there is a chance that I might have been one of those encounters.



Not many things can get me riled up. I completely do not mind anything said about the factions I make, about the people I fly or the things I have done or in fact might do in the future.
What really pisses me off, however, is when the quality of my roleplay comes under question by people, who do not know me, have never met me and doubt that they ever will, considering this sort of feedback comes mostly from 08-10 people, most of which do not even PLAY the damn game anymore.

Want to judge me for what I do? Come fly with me. Ingame. With teamspeak on. Do it. You might be surprised, I know plenty have been.
