Pirates vs RP?

[Not Espi]

okay people. you are doing it wrong. first of all, pirate rp is not to ask you for a joke or to have a nice chat with you at a cup of tea.

they are to take what they can / rape / slit your throat / piss over your body / shave your balls / all of the above in a random order.

Maritime piracy, according to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982, consists of any criminal acts of violence, detention, rape, or depredation committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship or aircraft that is directed on the high seas against another ship, aircraft, or against persons or property on board a ship or aircraft. Piracy can also be committed against a ship, aircraft, persons, or property in a place outside the jurisdiction of any state, in fact piracy has been the first example of universal jurisdiction.

GOOD RP as it should be, would be emerging from a nebula, killing you, salvage anything thats left and wave goodbye. although that is restricted by server rules. lucky you.

pirate talk =/= 'jolly good evening chaps, how was your evening? did you have an enjoyable flight? oh look. the local police is here! how about we play a game of charades? back at the prep school i was one of the rather better ones.'

dont talk to me about good rp. yes, it is good rp for a trader / miner to try to run, but FFS when you are CD'd, and looking into a barrel of a SNAC / several fighter cockpits with a transport. good god. you either do what they want or go ballistic out of desperation (depending on numbers, of course).


RUNNING, if the pirate is 500 m away from you with a cd is POINTLESS. sitting there silently is POINTLESS. NEGOTIATE! TALK!

note: i know many traders are good when it comes to being stopped int he end, majority is not. however i believe this ratio with pirates is fairly balanced. i dont run into those. i did so once. i almost killed him in a ptrain. he was a tridente. crappy pilot, but you can guess the qualisty of their flight skill from the talk (usually).

deal with the problem from within. start with yourself.
