Placing a Bounty.

[Baltar]

Not calling you a liar, since it's a matter of opinion. You may believe you were forced to stop pirating by BHG capships, but I consider that to be absurd. You would only be a liar if you knew that wasn't the reason you stopped pirating, but claimed it was anyway, but I don't believe that. You can report it to the Admins if you wish, but since all that either of us are doing is expressing differing opinions I don't think it would come to much.

We're not talking about opinion. We're talking about why I left Sigma 13. If I say I left because I was being harassed by BHG caps ... that's why I left. But you're not listening so why bother. Quit calling me a liar.

ZoI has come to mean anywhere a faction can operate, so that's what I was referring to. Hunters are allowed to operate just about everywhere, so that's what most people consider to be their 'ZoI'.

ZoI = Zone of Influence. Hunters have no influence. And if Liberty Rogues declared their ZoI is all of Liberty you'd have all of the Liberty lawfuls telling you otherwise. Its not where you operate ... its where you have influence and control. Hunters don't control anything.

Well, I didn't pick up on the difference, but even so I disagree. Generic pirates are no safer to have around than any pirate faction, and the ID system makes it very clear what everyone is, even if in-RP they would prefer it to be otherwise. If you have a generic Pirate ID, you are a pirate, you prey on traders and other lawfuls, otherwise you'd have a Mercenary or Freelancer or whatever ID.

*Sigh* ... ok ... let me try this again. First ... do you understand English grammar and context? If so, then you'll understand that the term "generic" is used in relation with the word "bounty." The word "generic" describes the type of bounty. I never used the word "generic" to mean "generic pirate." So ... when I say "generic bounties" I'm talking about those bounties that have no specific target. This debate is about "generic" and "specific" BOUNTIES ... it has nothing to do with the type of pirate you are.

If you don't want people drawing conclusions about you based on comments you make or things you bring up, then don't bring them up, especially when they have no bearing on the topic of the discussion. You've mentioned being overly targeted by BHG, specifically capships, which you say caused you to stop pirating for the past 3 months. You also mentioned that the majority of these problems were happening in Sigma-13. Conclusion: You used to try pirating primarily in/around Sigma-13, were constantly assaulted by BHG capships, so you decided to quit pirating rather than trying another location. You seemed to have drawn the conclusion that either A. there's nowhere else worth pirating, or B. that the BHG capship problem runs rampant over the whole server, or C. both. And you brought it into the discussion, despite the fact that BHG capwhores who break the rules (attacking without a bounty which allows capships) have nothing to do with blanket bounties, generic, specific, or otherwise.

Wrong ... its called debate and discussion. There are many others in this thread that I've been speaking with that have not called me names. If you disagree with me ... then discuss your point of view ... but don't call me a liar just because you disagree. Calling me a liar because you disagree tells me you have no argument ... nothing to provide to the discussion. So ... if you wanna discuss this issue ... then discuss the ISSUE. I ... me ... I'm not the issue here. So stop calling me a liar.

My bearing is that I have presented my viewpoint on this discussion. I'm waiting for you to provide your side. But the only thing you can key up on is name calling. My viewpoint has to do with the bounties ... don't care who's collecting on the bounties ... its about those that are posting the bounties. And because those who post these bounties encourage PVP whores in capships to come after me without consideration of role play ... yes ... those that post the bounties need to be mindful of that.

Its about those that POST the bounty ... not about those that collect the bounty.

Block me if you'd like.

You're very close.
