Question on Trader/Pirate encounters...

[Reverend Del]

The misconception that Halt is a demand was shattered a long time ago, Master Kambei, much to some folks chagrin. A demand is that they do something in order to appease you, you could demand they dance for their life, so long as you accept the fact that they'll have to write out how they are dancing, halting is the thing they do before they appease you. You cannot get angry at their lack of desire to halt.

Edit: doesn't cut it even if you do define yourself as paramilitary, your ID defines you. You do not define it.
