Anoither pirating dicussion

[Stoat]

I keep seeing these threads appearing, and the same arguments from both sides rehashed over and over and over. It's getting very boring.

Basically, any pirate saying something different to the ubiquitous "2 mil or die" is someone that is trying to roleplay the situation.

Show some respect and try to return the favour.

Please stop digging out loopholes. They will always be there to be exploited. It's up to all of us to show some maturity and not use them.

The phrase "Would you be so kind as to donate to my cause?", or something similar, when delivered by a pirate is a demand. It's obvious. The specifics of that demand can surely come later as the situation develops.

Use a bit of the old (un)common sense and weyhey, we've got an RP situation on our hands. It's really NOT THAT DIFFICULT.

Then can come the description of the cause, the haggling, the escort safely through space, etc, etc, etc.

The rule lawyering that keeps on appearing in these threads is sickening.

This is a game that DEPENDS upon the interaction between players. If you're not prepared to interact, please go and find somewhere else to play.

I'm talking to both the pirates that only say "2 mil or die" and the traders who say "I'd rather die than pay".

Rant over. I'm not accusing any particular person here. Just trying to say please, please, please get into the spirit of the game. If anything I've said upsets you, then feel free to flame me to your hearts content. I just hope that some little bit of what I've said here starts to sink in.

Anyhoo, I'm off to hospital now. Sucks to be me.
