People here are giving you constructive criticism and you shouldn't take it personally. Honestly, I think we need more people who dedicate their time to helping new guys learn about the game and how this community works. I have personally taken one of the new guys under my wing, but that's irrelevant. With that said however, a majority of people that have posted here before me have a point. I've witnessed one of the interactions where you were rule lawyering in local chat and it wasn't pretty, especially considering that not a single rule was actually broken by anyone involved. Try to keep your frustrations out of the game as it doesn't help anyone. I see that a lot of new players look up to you, and while that's not a bad thing, you need to change your attitude. When I was new, I used to avoid pirates on my trader at all costs. After a few enjoyable interactions, I actually started liking being pirated. Not every interaction you have in game is going to be enjoyable, and some of them will be outright frustrating. The key is to learn how to deal with it and move on. This is a game after all and we're all here to have fun.

There are players that run around Pennsylvania asking for ridiculous amounts of money from new guys, which I completely disagree with, by the way. However, there are also pirates that merely ask for 100-200k with the goal of providing noobs with more interactions so that they can learn our ways, as opposed to those who ask for stupid amounts of cash for god knows what reason. Go through the rules again, try to remain calm when something bad happens (it happens to everyone and simply can't be avoided) and involve yourself with more experienced community members. Might as well start a completely new character, join a faction, write up a story about that character, why not?

I don't have anything against you and I appreciate what you're doing for the entire community, but you also need to enjoy the game for yourself every once in a while in order to be a more stable and satisfied member. When you achieve that, you'll be on the right path.
