You left him with a choice of losing heavily or losing even more, what a generosity. I dislike seeing you hiding behind all kinds of papers to save up that 3 millions difference instead of resolving the issue.
Going to just quote Haste from the last time someone complained about the IMG being able to make unreasonable demands.
Haste Wrote:The rules as written already handle this properly:
```"Piracy" - a reasonable demand issued to a ship which can be attacked if it fails to comply. Piracy can include requests for credits and cargo or a roleplay requirement, such as following a instruction or answering a question.```
As you can see, this PoB's situation is different: the attackers already have plenty of ground to simply attack the base. No matter what BMF says or does, the base can be attacked. They don't even need to be directly sent a comm on the forums like they were. IMG| could simply post some roleplay in a message dump and link to that in the attack declaration thread. Instead, they opted to demand a pretty *unreasonable* sum to provide the base owners with an alternative. They have, reasonably (lol), chosen not to pay it, and as such we're back where we started (IMG attacks the base).
This was in relation to a base, but the same applies for ship piracy.
Found this conversation in discord. Insane. I'm wrong on this one, I admit.
