In regards to piracy

[Baltar]

Y'know Baltar, for all your bluster about 'being insulted' by Kurosora, You fired the first shot. See above. Anything that followed is to be expected. Grow a scar man, and wear it proudly. Quit bleedin' on the rest of us though, huh?

Ive read through this thread daily, trying to see if maybe, just maybe, we've gotten anywhere on trying to reformat/refine piracy rules to the GENERAL (not complete) agreement of the active consensus. And I have to wade through this egotistical, emotional, irrational morass, only to find that, no, we' havent gotten any further as the idea has been hijacked.

And Kurosora, You aint helpin' neither. But at least YOU offered repeated help in formatting the ruleset. Baltar...not so much.

ADMIN!

This needs to be in flood as apparently thats what it is. Perhaps a new thread that stays on target?

EDIT: If my sig weren't already tall enough...I'd ad this quote;

Ah ... throwing gasoline on the fire. Instead of trying to calm me down you do nothing but fan the flames. Keep it up and we'll never get back to the discussion. Keep telling me to "shut up" and you'll never get anywhere.

Now please note ... Kurosora and I have resolve OUR differences via PM and have continued our dialogue on the ISSUE AT HAND. If you care to join us, please do ... otherwise we'll just keep going on this tit-for-tat get nowhere bickering. Drop the "shut up" and other such comments and we'll get along.

Now if a pirate REALLY pirated for profit, would it be a good thing? Think about it...

You are a trader. You come across a pirate who steals for the sole purpose of funding all of his characters on the server. You fly a Train, he flies a barghest. You have 30mil, and are about to make 5mil with your next run. He is looking to purchase a new gunboat. He demands 5mil from you. What do you do?

My point is, we can have realism, but only to a degree to make things fair and fun for all.

Well ... my pirate is more of a Robin Hood type. He steals from the rich to give to the poor. So while my character is not out to get rich ... he IS out to make the rich man poorer.

No, you need to shut your mouth. You've made it quite clear that you're incapable of dropping it. You don't need an apology, you need to stop clicking on my thread looking for self-satisfaction.

And Finn, please stop throwing wood on the fire.

If anyone is throwing wood on the fire its you sir. Kurosora and I have resolved things via PM while you and TFinnegan continue to keep this off topic issue alive. Drop the "shut up" and "shut your mouth" crap now ... otherwise we'll keep going down this path. I've been back on topic for several posts now with Kurosora ... go back, read and keep up. As long as you want to continue telling me to "shut up" ... I'll keep my mouth wide open. I'm telling you right now ... you're not gonna shut me up by telling me to shut up. And you're not gonna get me off this off topic issue if you keep patronizing me. See me eye to eye on this and refrain from this "shut up" attitude and we can get back to a "civil" discussion.

That is ... unless you LIKE to argue ... in that case ... by all means continue telling me to "shut up."
