In regards to piracy

[Baltar]

This is kind of a sore subject for me. Several months ago I was pirated in my trader, dont remember who and not important really. But was pirated, good rp by pirate, I stopped paid the demand 3-4 million I believe it was. Money wasnt important had 5-600 million on that char, but the guy after the transfer of credits blew me away, Needless to say I contacted him on private chat, was told "sorry but it isnt agaisnt the rules, feel free to check". Totally enraged, I did and found out he was right. I have not paid another pirate since. I will rp with them but try to run. I will not be treated like a fool again. It is now a principle thing to me. So whoever that pirate was congradulations your breathren will never see another credit from me. I think people who act in this manner are tools anyway.

For the same reason a lawful can demand both your cargo AND a credit fine ... a pirate can demand your credits and then blow you up ... using the logic that "its not in the rules."

Its really REALLY bad form ... and destroys the fun of the game. There's no need for lawfuls to get BOTH cargo AND credits any more than there's a need for a pirate do demand you pay and then blow you up. Problem is people are stretching the rules on both sides to get their way ... which usually means one person has all the fun and the other guy stands there with a bewildered look as to why they bother playing this game.

Its the lulwhut effect.
