Admin Notice: Player sanctioned

[paulhunter]

EscapeVelocity has been sanctioned for breaking the following rules
All of the ships in this account are in jail because you refused to role play with other players and told them 'just blow it up and i'll take off in another ship' and similar phrases. This is unacceptable.

You need to post here explaining why we should release these ships.

I make one mistake on one character and you take all ships and put them in the bastille because i refused to pay someone attempting to pirate a cargo-less ship and tell him to just blow it up? Are all players supposed to now give in and pay half a million credits to every pirate that asks for it instead of just having to replace a few shield batteries and nanobots? If this is going to be the case then why not just fix it so that the pirate can just take whatever amount he wants out of your account and make it so that you can't refuse to pay them.

As for why i told him to just blow me up and i'd just take off again....hmm lets see.... First of all not that it will matter i was tired as hell from working all day and figured i'd spend a few minutes building another character and before i can even get from one base to another some pirate is making a demand of 500k from an exploration ship with absolutly no cargo. Would be sorta stupid to pay him 500k for some bots and bats. Seems every time you refuse to pay one of these fellows now you get sanctioned for no roleplay when the fact is that i simply spoke the truth. If you refuse to pay a pirate.....they most certianly will blow your ship up for refusal to pay.........at this point will i or anyone else just dump that character and never fly it again......no you respawn and go off to do something else which is all i told him or her i would do if they destroyed me for not paying thier demand. Now is this good roleplay.....i suppose not even if it is the reality of what happens in the game. Was it improper for me to do so......i suppose so. But i really don't get the taking of all ships that i spent hours and hours aquiring for the slip of one instance with another player that in my opinion just got ticked because they tried to pirate someone and they said no. The taking of all my ships i would say is excessive to say the least for a simple mistake made by someone while they are tired and a bit cranky from working all day. It is getting to the point that soo may people complain about simple things that the server is getting to be more like work than fun.....everyone has to walk on eggshells so to speak to keep things like this from happening.
So i guess the ball is in your court now......if you want to take away all the hours of work i've put into my characters and trash them for making a simple mistake from being tired and irritable then do so nothing i can do about it. But i would hope that this server is run by adults that understand what it is to work one's arse off and be tired enough to make little mistakes now and then.
