' Wrote:From past experience, I've yet to meet someone actually play along with a hostage situation.
What has happened every time is that I either have to eject a passenger and shoot them with the turrets but then fail as the lawfuls tractor it in.
Or I have to RP that I am shooting etc them inside the ship.
Yet, when my ship later goes boom the lawfuls have a tendancy (IE always) to just say that the hostages are alive and well.
It's bloody annoying and plain bad form. With a side order of metagaming mixed in.
Can people PLEASE not destroy over an hour's etc worth of in game solid RP by going 'They are all alive and well, and joo suxxx!!!!!1111one' etc.
That was unplanned and not agreed to peice of roleplay. We prevented that from happening as it impacted in a -huge- way on our own roleplay. You didn't seem to take that into consideration before trying it. If you want to do hostage stuff then contact us ooc -before it happens-.
It was powergaming for you to attempt that peice of roleplay anyway (I have ur men lulz, do what I sayz), and it made us all rather angry. So the terms kettle and pot come to mind here. Don't fling mud.
