[Okamura]

The person concerned with the sanction supra, namely the UN transport who I will hereinafter refer to as the complainant, has filed a report on the basis of us supposedly issuing two demands. I'll contest this on the basis of the following:

1) The Complainant was given ample time to leave, he chose to idle near the gate and continue with what can be interpreted as border-line oorp taunting which not only makes fun of Kusarian culture but also Japanese culture. Do this to someone with a gun and the ability to kill you and the consequences are obvious.

2) Telling someone that they can leave is not a demand. Every transport is expected to leave the area after a successful and compliant piracy encounter. Their loitering usually isn't appreciated. Why did the complainant not leave? What was stopping him at the gate? Why persist in mockery?

3) Are we to understand from this that the staff is in the business of policing the roleplay consequences against people whom act too big for their breeches in a situation where consequences both can and do make perfect sense? Being interrogated by a faction that doesn't converse with yours regularly and then being met with nothing but disrespect is a direct path to consequence. If after the consequence the complainant feels so wronged so as to be entitled to insult the person that just enforced consequences on them, is it not justified to apply further consequence? After-all this is a roleplay server. A pirate taking your money or cargo and then giving you the chance to leave should be taken at face-value, and not taken for granted by the rules and used as a shield for bad attitude. This would prove aggravating to the pirate.

4) The staff shouldn't deal in vague interpretations of reasonableness, an extent of tolerance should by all means be written but not selectively applied according to the preferences of the staff. By that I mean that the attitude of the complainant wasn't reasonable either, yet it was allowed to occur because of the spirit of roleplay and met with a roleplay consequence. If this is contrary to staff policy, then the "Roleplay" appendage to the server listing should be removed.

5) Please direct your attention to this, you have most noticeably neglected their implications in the processing of this violation report.
