Notice: Rule loophole: Bombers

[Doc Holliday]

Logic flaw Doc ... sorry ... but those two rules apply to different situations.

Rule 6.19 applies ONLY to a piracy role play event. The pirate can take down shields and drop the hull integrity to ... shall I say it ... "force" the trader to role play with the pirate. This rule is designed for combat vessel (pirate) vs trade vessel (trader ... non-combat vessel). And this rule is supposed to keep the pirate in line ... to not act like a terrorist.

Rule 6.21 on the other hand applies to a PVP event. This rule is designed for combat vessel vs combat vessel.

Also ... the discussion at hand is not one of piracy anyway. Sindroms came out of the lane in a combat vessel. I'll re-read to make sure. You do the same.

Logic flaw? I think not! The only thing the "softening up" process does more often than not, at least with me it does, it make someone very angry. I may play a diplomat but he is a diplomat with a very hot temper and a short fuse but that's beside the point. I have yet to rp a pirate out of a tax. I usually get "pay or die" which is week. But, I do keep a list on the board by my machine of those who use our fine facilities (Freeports) and still find the need to tax us. Yes, the word is getting out.

If they decide to just start shooting, well, I'll take my chances even though I will most likely lose, especially now since most pirates pirate in gunboats.

@eyvind,

Also, I have never liked people tacking a negative connotation to socialism.

I'll call it as I see it, like it or not but I'm not hyjacking this thread on it. If you don't like me calling it this way, start a thread and call me out on it.
