The Pirate ID - New Changes

[Lythrilux]

I fail to see how pirating a House's Police force/Navy (henceforth 'House forces') is an OORP thing to do.

The problem is it's not in the spirit of the ID and it's really just an excuse to get a pew. Hence why it's abuse.

If the pirate side outgunned or outmatched the House forces (or the pirate pilot(s) had lost the plot) then why would they not pirate the Police/Navy if they thought they had a chance of winning?
They are pirates, by definition if they stand a chance of getting a little bit of money you would expect them to exploit the situation.

But they shouldn't ever really. How do a small group of independent pirates, who have access to a lot less resources and are a lot organized, mount up an attack against the law enforcement of a house? It doesn't make any sense.

I also fail to see how the decision of the House forces to pay is an OORP thing to do.

You see a whole load of lolpirates coming your way and you can't really be bothered to engage in a pew with them, therefore you just throw your money at them in order to get them to go away. Or you even pay them in order to spite them and not let them have their blue.

Surely it would be better to punish the few that are abusing the ID to get quick OORP pews rather than limiting everyone else's ability to use the ID to create a fun INRP experience for all parties involved.

The problem is this just keeps getting abused again and again by different people. What's to stop another group or individual coming along and repeating the same behavior within the bounds of the (old) pirate ID?

Otherwise what is the point in having the sanction system if instead of the few that commit the violations being punished, everyone else who isn't violating the rules and are just trying to have fun with people and enjoy some role play also get punished? The idea of not only punishing the guilty but at the same time also punishing the innocent seems more than a little backwards to me.

As people have said, if you genuinely play the pirate ID for piracy this change shouldn't be a punished for you at all.
