A small question to Liberty Navy, LSF, LPI

[Elvin]

Sorry for the late answer... I was preparing to drink, drinking and the recovering from the drinking. *cough*
Let me answer from the start

That's where you reply *Captives detonate. Three decks of holding ship are lost in the explosion* ;)

Well, that won't help...it will end with " They are alive and well" ... But, well, that depends on who will you meet.

Elvin, just talk to the right people *cough* Me *cough* beforehand, and you'll be fine.

Remora, that just makes the person sound like a sore loser, pretty lame.

Well, I thought about asking the people on forums before it will occur.

Originally that sounds like a good RP. However

1-RP-wise (and here I talk for myself, not in the name of any house), as it happens in real life, main-houses should not accept negotiations with unlawfuls, even when there are hostages involved. Think about it. The moment it is done once, every single unlawful will start kidnapping people to ask for ransom

2-I remember once some unlawfuls that started this way to lure some lawful players to a well prepared trap full of Missile boats. Some call that RP....

So personally, myself I will never agree to such exchange. If some superior decides to do the exchange, as always I will follow superior orders.

My 2cts

On the other hand, the similar situation - Terrorist kidnapps aeroplane with 250 people, and he wants goverment to release some prisoner ( Lets say mafia boss for example ). Do you think that first thing the goverment will do, will be sending army to shoot down the plane with everyone onboard? Thats not really tactical, moral, or even possible. Nope, they will try to do negations with the terrorist, and everything to slow him down, and save the people.

To the second point ... Sorry... but... that's very poor thing to do, and surely not thing I have done, or will ever do.

To the " It happens once, It will happen again " glitch... My situation is that - My character has escaped from the prison, and he wants to get a few others out as well, it's really just about RP, I dont want to lure people and kill them in trap, or make money.

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.

Well... that's the first experience I've had. Pretty the same as you describe here. Just to add a bit to defend LN/LSF glory, they were idies, not the actuall faction.

But I've really... kinda died when i saw the RP... I have actually played the scene, when the hostage takes 5 gunshots into the head, then my poor bomber explodes in fire of 2 dreads and yet, they still dared to say " hostage is captured, alive and well, pirate destroyed" ... It find this stupid... Yeah, there is no way I really can shoot the hostage ... But that's what it is about in RP... Just because there is no " Shoo him to head" button on your pannel, it doesn't mean -you- can't do it.

Heh, the Liberty forces when paranoid when I was just offering to give them their pilots back for free...

Well, Its not really about money, just about my RP and story:)


And at last, but not least: to JihadJoe: I'm glad to hear that, if you are willing to help me make this little "event", I will be REALLY glad and we may speak about it right away.


Cheers,
Elvin
