Quote:@ Mule: I agree with what you said, but doing these will 99% of the time get your sanctioned. I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying its the rules. Like motorcycle helmet laws. If you don't want to wear a brain-bucket, and die because of it, go for it. But don't b*tch if you get pulled over for not obeying the law.
I'm not quite sure about that, there is no explicit server rule against any of it, so if it's done in RP, it's all good.
' Wrote:Definition of donation:
1. The act of giving to a fund or cause.
2. A gift or grant.
This allows for forceful donations. Plain and simple they are often not-so subtlely hidden demands BUT they are not technically demands, and so any attack by a pirate due to it is illegal.
I personally do not like such wide spread abuse of the word 'Donation' but it is used often in threats. Do think that you shouldn't go strictly by the rules in this case since it would limit roleplay somewhat.
If a guy pulls up his car next to you, shoots your cars tires so you're slowed down nearly to a halt, sticks a gun to your face, and says "How about a donation?" I don't think there any doubt in your mind what's going on.
The term 'donation' is a euphemism, the OPG have no problems accusing them of piracy, we are the O PIRATES G after all, but for example, when I was in TBH, I was asked to ask people for donations, as it was more.. 'respectable'?
