Its not like we're out to stop you (Like he wants to think), and Derkylos raises a good point. There are MILLIONS of excuses that you could use to get through, and probably 600,000 of them might work if you make it believable. Using my last example, If he had said he was transporting robot components packed with explosives or ones that were programmed to just move wildly and destroy the factory, instead of calling us "Pirates", Then hell, "I have better things to do, go ahead." Its that simple people, even if your lying... Its a ROLE PLAYING game, act like a person and LIE! Anyways, I'm glad he's done talking 'cause i'm done trying to explain things to ignorant and closed-minded people who cant deal with one little route being changed in a game...

Going to respond to this one in a calm and placid manner that is completely out of charcter. Maybe I am ignorant young fella but that is cos I am new to this server and this Mod. There are a hell of a lot of things I dont know as you may be surprised to learn that I was not born with all the knowledge of Discovery FL hardwired into my genetic makeup. Obviously you seem to expect I was.

Ok lets disregard the issue of the blockade, I will concede that it is legal from an RP point of view ok? What gets me is the way it was enforced by the two guys who initially stopped me. I have read the orders that you claim you follow in regard to this matter. The first time I was stopped I was asked where I was going and I replied that my destination was Holman, Tau 31. The response from your guys was effectively 'dont believe you, drop the cargo or be destroyed'. Now, go back and read the rule that you have on that! It quite clearly states that what they should of done was to monitor my flight to ascertain my destination, if it then transpired that I did indeed go to Kusari (which I didnt, but they didnt check anyway) then I could lawfully be placed on the KOS list as a blockade runner. Nowhere in your rule does it say that they should attack any trader without proof of transgression.
I raised this matter with LtCdr frost (a character some of your members would do well to emulate). He was in agreement with me that your men had acted out of character as far as the rule on the embargo was concerned. I was informed by frost that he had made your men clear on their mistake and he was sorry for the inconvenience. That should of been an end to it but no, I was stopped again and by the 2 original fellas and 2 others. Including your alleged 'privateer'. (it seems the rules layed down by the server on Navy ID do not apply to mister noteworthy)
I will also point out that I was flying a Gateway ID'd ship, you say that means I should not be trading with IMG from an RP point of view? I say Gateway is a shipping company and is free to ship goods to neutral factions if the profit is good, as long as it does not breach the embargo or your rule it would seem.
Now lets get back to your rule. I can appreciate why it is in place, and in retrospect it is an applaudable piece of RP that adds a certain flavour to that area. But I do feel that your members take liberty when deciding how that rule is inturpreted! I would not be making any complaint if I had been warned of the embargo and then broken it, but I did not. What I also want to know is why your rule supercedes the server rule on NAVY ID? Which I think states that you may halt and attack vessels of a hostile house if they refuse to drop their cargo or leave the system etc. It does not say that you may demand the same of any trader whatsoever! The admin need to decide which rule has priority here, theirs or yours! Or can I assume that you have admin in your faction and as such the point is moot?
Anway, when push comes to shove its all over and done with, from now on I shall attempt to run your blockade at every opportunity and will do so in the spirit of RP which is really whats at issue here. I also note that you have pushed to have me sanctioned. I would like to point out on that score that I was not the only one talking OOC in this matter, and I was not the one who sent private messages containing profanity and name calling and threatening lifetime bans from the server! I wont name names as it is of no import. At the end of the day gentleman this is just a game.
