Jinx: Um ... I don't have to be happy. And if the trader insults me with 1 credit ... I may accept it but that trader will be hit multiple times ... at which point I'll make a specific demand. BUT ... I'd appreciate you avoiding micro-interpretation of the rules. BTW ... take a look at Rule # 3.5 quoted below. And take note of what's underlined. My POINT is that there is no rule saying you must make a demand for a SPECIFIC amount. While it is true it will be a joke on the pirate to receive 1 credit ... the trader will be hit much harder and more often with that type of disrespect.

Mule: Thank you ... and this brings up a valid point. If the trader insults the pirate ... he gets hit harder and more often.
cmfalconer: Um ... have you taken a look at the title of this thread. These threads have a habit of flaming (vice the word you chose) at pirates. So take your own advice sir.
ParanoidAndroid: If I ask for a "donation" ... I accept whatever is given ... even if its 1 credit or 1 unit of food. BTW ... I ONLY ask for "donations" from traders that have a history of good role play. So ... build a good rep with Black Pearl and he'll be lenient. But if you cross him ... expect to pay ... and pay often. But you can bet 100% of your cargo that non-role playing traders will not get my "non-specific" demands. Nor will the new traders I come in contact with. If I give you a "non-specific" request ... its because I have respect for you. So ... ball's in your court sir. You wanna non-specific request?
