First of all, the reason I posted in this thread is because the character I stumbled upon was [RM] tagged. Therefore I believe it was appropriate to address it here.
Let me make something really clear for you, I'm not demanding that you should stay and fight me, so I can go around and wave a blue-message and be happy. No, I'm asking you to interact with my character appropriately instead of taking illogical decisions based on PvP-experience or the feeling of "I can't stand not being able to Role-Play in X-system for 4 hours thus I will simply walk away." Both in my opinion are not acceptable decisions or the line of thought I expect especially from a [RM] member when it comes to dealing with a Rheinland Criminal.
You did point out two noticeable differences between your Admiral character and this other one you have, but I know that the reason you decided to walk away from a Role-Play encounter, (because no matter that you talk about combat, it is still considered a Role-Play encounter.) was purely based on Out of Role-Play information. In this particular case you compared the chances of winning against me in combat. Now, I'm not telling you how you should play your character, I'm just getting the feeling that you aren't exactly playing your character correctly. What if you stumbled into the exact same situation, but this time, you were talking to an independent criminal of which the name you couldn't recognize and connect to a certain player? I can safely assume you would stick around and try fight him off.
I still believe it was an obvious form of ignoring my character's Role-Play. Why? Because I have made Role-Play decisions in the past, regarding this specific character in relation to the [RM] which have then proved to given me certain consequences. In other words, I have been caught pirating and pretty damn sure that after attacking the Vice-Admiral and the Admiral himself carrying the Smokeone banner, you should probably do something about it when you encounter me with a [RM] ship flying about in your home-space.
So yes, you did in my opinion ignore certain Role-Play facts regarding my character when you chose your decision to leave willingly without even so much as attempting to arrest me / carry a dialog. If you don't have the spine to face me in combat, you can at least do two things that would make more sense than "Oh I got X-festival to attend to so I will just leave you alone in our capital system and let you carry on with your unlawful activities because you are too better than me in combat." I mean, one, you could at the very least call for backup and sit next to that battleship and just wait. Two, you could perhaps put up a fight and retreat if the damages were too high.
But no, it was an act of ignoring. I'm sorry but I'm not backing up on that statement. Now I'm not a guy who carry grudges so I will just put this behind me now and carry on playing, but if I encounter this kind of behavior again then you can expect that I will treat you with the same manner of respect you treat me. Just so we make that crystal clear.
Also, I would like to take this opportunity and say thanks to the many good experiences I have had with the pilots of the Rheinland Military.
