"Stop or die" followed by a kill shot and no demand for cargo or credits is sanctionable behavior. You are attempting to read between lines that I didn't even write.
Ok ... sounds like NEITHER of us is reading the other's post. Read again Xoria ... I said it must be followed by a demand for money or cargo.

Being nice is not a virtue, despite what this postmodern world would have you believe. Kindness is a virtue. It isn't nice to grab someone by the hair and jerk them back three feet. But it isn't kind to watch while they walk right off of a cliff. So no, I wasn't nice, but I was kind in that I pointed out your poor behavior rather than allow you to blissfully proceed as if it wasn't.
Other than that, read my signature. It's there for a reason.
I do understand your getting upset ... considering most people do not like their initial post being called into question. Tends to get us all defensive ... been there.
' Wrote:Except that this time, you didn't post in a thread that was relevant to your characters, since you deny that you pirate in violation of the server rules, which is the entire point of this thread. Several players who pirate have claimed in threads recently that it was perfectly ok to blow up traders without making financial demands, and the first post in this thread clearly and factually refutes that sort of behavior. If you don't behave this way, then this thread has nothing whatsoever to do with you, yet you jump into it with both feet and then claim to be insulted by your supposed "inclusion" in it. The only one who has included you in this topic is you. If you want out, then delete the contents of your posts.
My point is that there are so many of these threads declaring "pirates aren't pirating right" or some such subject. When there are calls for removal of the Pirate ID or calls for more rules governing pirates ... I get a bit defensive since it affects my character. My responses are not directed at you personally, Xoria ... please don't take them personally.
You mention that there are posts by pirates that claim its ok to kill without demanding stuff ... that's a clear violation of the rules and is terroristic. Those pirates who play this way will be sanctioned when they get reported.
When I'm grouped with a pirate that stretches the rules ... I drop out of the group and let them know I do not approve.
