Piracy rule revamp, more detail needed

[Gondoros]

The pirate can only make one demand per encounter. If that encounter is met, then the trader is free to go without any further demand placed upon him by the pirate.

If, after the demand is met, the trader chooses to prolong the encounter by arguing, name calling or some sort of rant, well, I'm not going to sanction a pirate for placing another demand.

As an aside, the pirate may not hold up the trader either after the demand is met, with the hopes of getting his pirate buddies in on the action.

I expect the trader to end the encounter by leaving as well as the pirate. If the trader refuses, then heaven help him.

But would you sanction someone for killing them?

Depends on how abusive the trader was. I'd probably allow this scenario:
Pirate: You may go now.
Trader: Pirates like you are ruining this game.
Pirate: Oh really, that will be an extra 2 million for that comment.
Trader: Go to hell.
Pirate: You first.

Well that is just awesome then.
