Pirates in penn

[Rashnok]

As the pirate in question, I feel obligated to respond.

I do not make unreasonable demands. The demand I made of you, 500k I believe, wouldn't have even dented your bank account. You're in a tiny freighter and are level 90. Hell, you're richer than I am. Are you suggesting that I am supposed to simply ignore this little defenceless ship out in the middle of nowhere?

Shortly after your little tirade of calling me a coward and pathetic and basically being demeaning, I pirated another fellow. As he was much more cooperative, we had a good little spot of RP and I charged him 5000 credits for his troubles.

I must also say that bragging about how you never pay, never will, and never have does not impress me. I do not understand why so many people attempt to have "tough" character RP when all it means is exploding a lot. You shouldn't be surprised that I blew you up, especially after you went OOC to start calling me, the player, a coward. Call Morgan a coward, sure. That's fine and good and he'll keelhaul you. You start calling the player a coward though, and that crosses lines.

I also mentioned that, as a pirate in Penn, I do take it upon myself to ensure that the other pirates play nice too. I started when I, just as you are, had a lowly miner in Penn. Of course, some guy came up to me when I was level 40 or so and demanded 3 million credits, which is frankly absurd. So he blew me up and went on to wreck havoc across the system. That's when Morgan decided that Penn would be a nice place to set up shop and, next time that fellow decided to knock up some low-level for ten times his worth, he ended up having to answer to the Cap'n.

If my demands seem ridiculous, feel free to point it out. I am always willing to negotiate, unless you made yourself a real nuisance. If I am honestly asking for more than you can afford to pay, tell me so. I'll lower my demands or do something silly like ask for a cake or a night with your wife. It really isn't difficult to get out of being pirated if he's a decent guy.

As for having the gunboat, I have the gunboat so that I can RP. I've found that flying a bomber and attempting to have an extended RP with someone results in my being exploded while typing all too often. It's how I can offer you a decent RP experience without having to worry about getting the cash and running. It allows me to be a bit more lenient with my demands and allow you to take your time in making decisions. If you would prefer, I could switch to a 2milordie bomber and just SN your shields while making a demand and blow you up 5 seconds later while you're busy typing your response. It's doable, but I'm fairly certain that no one here wants that to happen.

Edit: And yeah, I probably do sound a little hostile. Your encounter left a poor taste in my mouth.
