If they try to run without a word, CD them and blow them up
If all they do is rules lawyer, blow them up
If they RP back, RP with them and give them a way to escape
Let's see, what category did you fall into... the first one? Well, what is the Phantom response? Correct, blow you up!
Takes two to tango.
...
' Wrote:as soon as i began to move, (when he had shot my hull down to about a quarter health.) he SN'd me. and if i had run sooner, i am sure he would've done the same thing.
Well well, seen as this was called for, Iam back...
Seen Zapps words, no attempt to RP is the best way to ensure your dead. I just can sign that.
And NO!, lines like "Why you shoot? Stop shooting! Stop! Why you shoot?" isnt an attempt of roleplay at all.
Maybe you should have just stopped mining after he first shot at you and tried then, without trying to collect more shiny ores for your profit to RP with him.
Iam pretty sure that he then would have let you go after you and him had a satisfying conversation (but you can be sure your ship would still be severe damaged, but you would have been alive).
Next:
Dont twist what I said.
You are referrering to the movement of your ship in the end of the video while I was talking about the, prolly not happened, try to escape and his SNAC before you started recording.
It is his right as a Phantom so is it the right of every pirate to deal as much damage as he likes without destroying you before starting to RP at all with you.
You dont believe me? Read it up in the rules.
So, to sum it up:
- you sit there mining
- a Phantom comes and snac's you to see what you are up to
- you continue mining
- the Phantom tells you go "Run for your life"
- you continue mining
- the Phantom continues firing here and there some shots at you, takes out your shields to 'encourage' you to stop what you are actual doing (still mining) and to respong to him
- you continue mining with the above mentioned lines not counting as an attemp to RP
- he blows you up
- you complain
And again....
The Phantom might have talked a bit more,... but it was his right not to do so and seen how you reacted, his decision to blow you up was fine.
You on the other hand have no right to complain about what happened.
Excuse if that might sound harsh for you, but in my eyes, it's just the truth.
