For one, I wouldn't expect a widely respected member of the community to take your rogue GB and a fleet of pirates to camp Manhattan.

oorp, I was there listening to the banter between some VR and a roleplaying Carrier. I was pleased to see such roleplaying, so I stuck around to enjoy it. InRP, Risky was just hanging there, trying to make friends with the VR. And staying ready to run away from that carrier.

What I'd like to ask, is how fair you believe it is to fly your Gunboat up next to a Light Fighter, utter 4 words, which barely resemble English (let alone an engagement notice or RP) then proceed to blow it up immediately only seconds later? All this while said Light Fighter is beginning to RP with said pirate fleet.

It's not fair at all. But Risky does not, and will not ever play fair. He is highly dangerous, completely unstable (hence the nonsense speak), likes to play (shoot) his toys (other ships) and his toys often end up very broken, and he really really does not like the LPI (they hit him with sticks (batons) among other things).

A light fighter is no threat to a Gunboat, let alone one with a fleet of support. If it was a blue message you wanted, you could have gotten it eventually, after proper RP.

The key here is that Risky is unstable, very much so. And he doesn't care if the LPI is a threat to him or not, he likes to shoot them. within that constraint, that was proper RP.

[insert obligatory comment about how the LPI cannot whine about other people having a say in their RP and then come and say that the unlawfuls don't have 'proper RP'.] (Not directed at you MB, its just an ironic thought, and since it's ~2am, it's getting spewed here. it's meant to be a "yuk yuk yuk" thing.)

A few other comments. If facing a group of unlawfuls, sitting still probably isn't the best idea.

InRP, what was done is the logical extension of previous RP, but ooRP I'm not entirely pleased with that extension. A miss would have been perfectly appropriate. Option for next time.

Finally, if Risky instapops you (you = general term, this applies to everyone) if you PM me and say 'hey, mind if I float around New York as long as I don't interact with you?" I have no problem with that.

Enough of this rambling, time for sleep. Maybe.
