In regards to piracy

[kuth]

You are in still ranting and conflicting with yourself. My reasons for saying this? See below.

A pirate's primary source of income is you ... the trader. That's his career ... piracy. There is no other source of income. If he had some other source of income, why would he need to pirate?

A pirate's primary source of income is a trader. Primary would indicate another source is avaiblable yet the very next sentence you act like he has no other source of income. Semantics, but I had to!

To my real reasoning.

A pirate's primary source of income is you ... the trader. That's his career ... piracy. There is no other source of income. If he had some other source of income, why would he need to pirate?

Pirates income is a trader. If a trader makes no profit he won't trade. If he doesn't trade a pirate cannot pirate, hence he has no income. So, contrary to you claiming it isn't OoRP for a pirate to leave a trader with no profits; it is.

As for you assuming I am here to whine and cry to have pirates role play nerf'd. I will direct you to the end of the post you quoted where I clearly stated I think the issue at hand should be left up to the player not to be an ass. Any rule would be hard to enforce. I don't think we need anymore rules on piracy; just to clarify the ones we have. This topic wasn't made to nerf your role play; it was made with the good intention of preventing the lolwutters from being dicks while at the same time playing within the servers rules, thus not being able to sanctin them or correct them for being dicks.

You have turned this thread into a flamefest war zone because you were insulted after insulting another person. You are the one assuming people are here to nerf your role play.

Get. Over. Yourself. This server isn't made up of people that want to ruin your day Baltar; quit acting like it is.

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.

How about being a man (or woman) and dropping it yourself? Why are you asking him to be the bigger man or woman here? Step up, maybe he will follow.

Actually ... this guy can get destroyed for not complying with your demands. If he gives you LESS than what you demanded and agreed on ... he's toast. But if he gives you MORE than you asked ... let him go. The rules just state you gotta make a demand prior to destroying him. If he fool'd you into taking 200k vs 200mil ... hit him hard and often. This guy would get pirated every time he saw me. But the guy that was compliant would likely only get pirated once and then I'd ignore him as he passed me the next few trips.

See, this is proof you can be logical. I agree 100% with the quote here. Forward!
