Admin Notice: Player Fined

[Trogdor]

The link is broken on the 'Admin Link to Report' but I assume this report was from a confrontation in Rheinland between a few RM, myself, and two Wilde.

If that is the case, then this sanction is unfair, for two reasons.

1) I'm of the understanding that you aren't supposed to file a report against someone unless you've already spoken with the offender privately and informed them that what they're doing is wrong, and they continue to do it. I received no such messages from either of those Wilde.


And even if I did,

2) The Wilde gunboat is just as guilty as I am on this point. During the fight, the gunboat activated cruise engines on several occasions, to get out of range of me and then stopped to re-engage my RM allies. I engaged cruise to chase him away and make sure he left. At that point he engaged cruise engines, left the fight by losing me in an asteroid field, then a short time later came back into the fight when I caught back up with the Wilde bomber. If you go back and look at the chat logs you'll see the other RM I was with commented that the gunboat did in fact come back after fleeing.

So, my apologies for apparently breaking this rule, and for not reporting what the gunboat did, because I figured we both fudged the rules a bit so there was no sense in making a big deal out of it.

But.. I have talked to other admins and they say Traders are exempt to this rule... and what about pirates who engage cruise engines to pursue a trader they've attacked? I didn't think engaging cruise with the intent of pursuing someone counted as 'fleeing'.

So please either give me my stuff back or apply the same sanction to the gunboat.
