Piracy according to the rules

[13CentKiller]

Why is this such a hard concept to understand. I have been doing this for almost a year now and never had a problem with it. Maybe its because I expect the trader to run and I am not so lazy to want the trader to come to me.

I can see your point here.

In-fact it is exactly what I do. But the thing is the rules basically state "Halt" or "Stop" doesn't cut it as a demand. Where in everyone elses eyes its a perfectly valid one. Also the RP factors in here, and what RP stands for.

And the "Waiting to scan someone before you could ask them to stop" rule you stated, would not be very logical as per the games structure and the way its played. Besides, how would you police it.

The whole thing here is, the traders have all the rules in favor of them. They even get a waver with the whole PVP rule, stated previously in this post. Which I also find stupid. Now, if we can't stop the trader by cutting his run by killing him, or by telling him to stop verbally, we don't have many options. Often by the time we make our demand, by writing it in RP (Which often takes a long time...) they have made their escape. Players resort to "2 mill or die" And I have heard from many people..."That is ooRP, I refuse to pay unless its written in RP.

So by allowing us the right to "Halt" as a valid demand, the trader will have more incentive to pay, as they know their fate depends on whether they cruise or sit still...

Pirates have a purpose too. We ain't just a happy bunch of PvP whores.

EDIT: Sorry about the double post. I hit the wrong button:(
