To be or not to be?

[Unseelie]

I dunno, suppose the more you play and learn, the better you can deal with situations as they unfold, for the most part not haveing been given the same curtousy on several characters, maybe makes it hard for me to give the same. When I tried to explain things, I was only greeted with rule quotes, proper RP manerism's and that they where only being in character, that getting equipment or fixing your IFF wasnt thier problem, threats and or death. Oddly though, I made it happen and it wasnt on a silver platter. Giving easy travel , so you can upgrade your ship, get better weapons or so you dont have to fight for what you are inevitably later gonna turn against the people your asking safe passage from ? Dunno, sounds nuts to me.

Theres often more ways then one to get somewhere, especially if it involves passing thru hostile territory though for some factions, such as this case just about everywhere would have been hostile. In a way I understand the guys frustration, been there done that kinda thing, but again no one showed me the same, they actually taught me to do the very thing I did. And if this is a general exception to the rules a unwritten " Gentlemans code", I think it could lead to massive misuseage for safe travels to get what you want.

Right, and if they had gone the long way around, they would have had to tell even more people they were only setting up. They have, by taken the shorter path, minimized the impact of their necessary oorp travel.
He is, of course, going through the zone 21. But, I'm assuming he removed himself from the rp, which means that he shouldn't have existed to you, much as the admins are not part of the RP.

I ask you if you enjoyed the experience of not being given the courtesy(correct spelling)?
If you did, then that would explain why you so adamantly defend that way of doing things. If you did not, I fail to understand why, after we tell you that it is nonstandard and simply mean, you continue to defend that way of doing it. You are, after a fashion, demanding that all characters being set up be treated as if they were in RP. That demand goes much further than you seem to understand. It would have to become part of every high ranking Xeno's life story, for example, to travel peacefully through the homelands of nations they hate, and buy ships in those lands, from those people, who certainly would not sell them. We give the Xenos, and many others, the courtesy of not including that tidbit into their life story, just the same as we claim that some of our characters have never been to Manhattan.

And of course, any honor code can easily lead to massive misuse, but it is such of the nature of an honor code to believe that people will not. Thats the whole point of an honor code.
