' Wrote:C'mon. Really?
The first line I can read in that video is that you have been told to RUN FOR YOUR LIFE...
... and you already also stated that at this point you already had been snac'd your shield off.
And you still sit there and mine?
And now complain?
Eh, wut?
As said, you might rethink your statements and argumentation.

I agree with him. Why? The Phantoms have reinforced that reputation. If they want to absolve themselves and ditch it they have to GIVE the players they choose to attempt RP with - especially the traders, who are phobic of anything with a SNAC and even more so of anything that doesn't have to ask for money before using that SNAC - multiple opportunities to RP their way out of a situation alive, preferably without demeaning themselves. The Phantoms have the power to blow whatever they want into small pieces whenever they want. They have a responsibility not to use that power and be the better RPers - blowing a player up because he is convinced they are going to blow him up and that he shouldn't bother taking them seriously is not a justification for blowing him up. What it should be is motivation to prove that player wrong and try to change his mind by presenting him with a situation (or two, or three, etc) that he can interact with that doesn't involve 'run for your life' or 'wanna play' - because those are the kinds of things that assure people that they're about to die, lose their cargo and get knocked halfway back across Sirius because they got jumped by a Phantom. You have to lead the players on - You have to feed them opportunities, because they're not going to seek them out; they expect to die. Show them that they don't need to.
EDIT: Also, yes, I know the majority of Phantoms are not like this. On the rare occasion I encounter one I do have good experiences sometimes, and I am friends with multiple Phantoms.
