Thanks Janseneh. <3

Seriously, though - for independant pirates, the ones who have freelancer IFF's, this would be a workable idea. A loose grouping that will help each other pull off a job - they're more REAL criminals than anything else. When you think about it - the vast majority of the 'pirate' groups on the server aren't criminals because they want to be - they're criminals because their political activities or something else forces them to work against the lawfuls.
(I could go into a big discussion on the politics behind the Hessians, or the LWB, or the Corsairs, or the ... but I think you get the picture.)
Your group would be crooks just because they LIKE being crooks. To borrow a quote that wasn't - you're robbing the banks because that's where the money is. Or in this case, you're robbing the miners not because you have a high moral standing or to run people out of Dublin or whatever - you're doing this to get rich.
Exactly. Out of all the unlawful groups the Liberty Rogues are my favourite because they are just what pirates should be. They just want to get rich. On the wiki it says their primary goal is to free Liberty, but I never got a hint of any political goals when I was a member of LR-. So it's just people who want to get rich deciding they'd do it faster and have an easier job if they helped each other out.
Quote:I could actually see quite a bit of forum RP out of something like this as well, because you could post 'news' reports of robberies on jewelry stores, bank robberies, and then every time you hit someone - even the ubiquitous civilian transports - you report it as a 'train' robbery.
Our reputation would be a critical part of it. The image of the pirates determines how much money you make. When I started with Roger Claymore and went pirating in Omega-7, nobody paid me. It took about two days before I got paid for the first time. And now the normal miners there start typing /givecash Roger.Claymore 4000000 as soon as they see me appear on their sensors (although I don't see many of them anymore. Maybe I scared them all off:P). That's because my pirate now has a reputation as a fierce killer of people who decide not to pay his tax, so they pay.
So whenever we did something worth talking about, like destroying several Colonials, then we're going to brag and brag and brag until our cheeks go red. And we can put RP news reports such as robberies on planets. Maybe even a few RP stories with police factions with them trying to catch us on the planets if they want.
Quote:I think my pirate that mostly works around Rhienland would be interested in something like this group.
Awesome, talk to me on Skype and I'll add you to the chat if you want to be a part of it.
