In regards to piracy

[Slainte]

An interesting thread here Trogdor ( mostly :)) kudos.

But i fear we are missing a vital point in all this, quality RP.

Its all well and good trying to figure out rules that a pirate and trader should follow in a pirating situation when we all know that there are few ( in my experience ) that will follow it. I dought the Admins will implement a new set of rules when there are tons there already and the amount of sanction attempts will completely overpower them i think.

Common sense and a bit of rp should overcome this. I have a trader ( faction ) and a smuggler and i have been pirated on both. The level of piracy has been from the outright stupid to the sublime. No set of rules will fix this but, experience and tuteridge ( spelling? ) will. Thats why Ivan and the lads did such a good job in the OPG. Took the newbies and showed them the ropes. And i wont forget the LR who do the same.

Lets not go overboard on this but instead encourage prospective pirates to join a pirating faction to learn the ropes and from there to enable them to expand their rp to a good level so that in the futer these threads shoudn't be necessary
