The Corsair issue

[Kubotan]

I would like to thank all of you who have posted for your inputs. It has given me deeper insight on this issue, it seems it's more complex than I expected at first. Something that has been ongoing for a period of time rather than an short outburst and something that seems to affect many more groups than I expected.

From what I've read so far, it seems many agree on the point of the "vengence theory". Basically that one major influential group performed something that was regarded as "poor behaviour" towards the Corsairs and then the Corsairs answered with similar actions. It also seems that many agree on that specific group being Bounty Hunters, but wether these Bounty Hunters are factionalized or simply belong to one organization, maybe even random individuals has not yet been agreed upon. Another thing that hasn't been agreed upon is who started this whole problem in the first place. Was it the Bounty Hunters or the Corsairs? I think that question will never truly be answered. But casting the blame on one group is not what we should aim for, it is solving the current problem. Now because of all your inputs I will try my very best to convince and continue towards a better roleplay standard for all Corsairs, though there are many Corsairs that are surely better than me and some that have most likely already started to create a roleplaying conseus amongst this group.

However to Asgardian's first post. I must apologize for not being very clear on the part that you quoted from me. What I was trying to say was, is that I understand the Corsairs point of view on the whole "Bounty Hunters attacking Gamma issue" (that they should answer with all avilable forces) but that I still agree on the other side that perhaps a little common sense on making it hard for the enemy, but not impossible as Athenian put it, is a nice compromise that will satisfy both parties.

Generally though I must say, by simply asking nicely to the "capital noobs" to stand-by for assistance they will comply, if you promise them that they can help if more enemies arrive. You have to demand your request but at the same time promise something in return for that demand.

Towards your second post Asgardian, this is the kind of attitude that is counterproductive without sounding offensive. Because you single out one bad experience in Omicron Gamma and then use it as an argument to say that all Corsairs must improve their roleplay (by stating "From the Corsair side"). About your "fair fight" argument, I don't really find necessary to argue on that point. The whole fair fight issue, I see something that is up to the individuals in each case and its not something that is easily solved, however it is true that you can influence a large number of people by simply trying to convince them to why it's better to play with a sense of fairness.
