I'm just observing that this is rather pointless, how they get OORP, and a one nice clear admin "NO THIS IS OORP" to get the point across is what i'd like to hear. I mean how hard can it be to just say "Die pirate Die! and engage", why does a trader have to say "kill me now it's just cheaper" It's oorp to value the life of you and your crew so low. I'm not saying someone could get special RP that he is suicidal, that's ok... but the majority should be sanctioned for OOC 10% of income per line. pretty basic stuff.
You can't say something is OORP if you don't know the character's story. I have a trader, for example, who is indeed a borderline suicidal. I didn't get special admin RP privileges to do this, and nor do I have to... that's just the nature of that character's RP. And although that particular trader's RP is posted on this forum, not everyone makes a forum story for each of their characters.
A piece of advice: lower the amount you ask if you want better results. The abovementioned character, for example, sets the value of his own life at 2.5 million credits. Ask that amount or less and you'll get it. Ask for more, and the character would rather die.
Besides, not all ship destructions end in death. Don't forget that it's assumed that when a character's ship explodes, the character escapes in a pod. If a trader RP's that he has insurance with a 2 million credit deductible, then it would be financially better for him just to lose the ship and file a claim than to fork over 3 million credits.
So unless you know the character's background, you can't just assume that they're being OORP.
