' Wrote:When a pirate stops someone and says: "Would you like to donate to my cause?" or "Please donate to my cause."
Does that give him the right to open fire if the trader says no? I don't see these words as a form of demand, and it shouldn't give a pirate the right to open fire. In short its nothing more than firing on someone after saying halt.
Yet another example of traders trying to loophole the rules. This is a ROLE play server ... not a RULE play server. Asking for a donation means the pirate expects the trader to give him something ... even if its 1 credit or 1 item of cargo. If you give nothing ... you get the guns.
Yet another example of poor role play among the traders. You guys just REFUSE to play the role of a trader being pirated. You'd rather make up stuff that doesn't exist to avoid getting pirated.

Nothing in the rules says you have to define the amount of cargo or money you have to demand.
Here's the rule as written:
Quote:6.19 Pirates and terrorists have a right to deal as much damage as they see fit before or after demanding money from a trader ship, but killing trader ship before demanding money or cargo is not allowed. Attacking traders or demanding cargo is not allowed for cruisers and battleships, unless cruisers and battleship belong to Terrorist ID or Phantom ID owner.
Please ParanoidAndroid ... please point to where it says you must make a demand for a specific amount of anything.
