Let me make myself clear, in no way did I hinted at trying to sanction silent traders. My post was about players who goes "Kill me, I will lose less than paying you" in order to avoid interaction without any consequences. Asking to be killed is not character talking, it is player behind character saying he would rather be blown up instead of complying and roleplaying with pirate. In my opinion, it is abuse of game mechanics, Out-of-Character speech, refusal to roleplay and wasting time of the pirate, who does roleplay. This falls under two rule breaches. And as you know, there is warnings, prison, fine and ban. It would be up to admins to see which punishment would be fitting most. However from my experience, I find those who are unable to roleplay in English being put in Bastile and given chance to explain here on forums.
