AI ID

[Daedric]

Oh yes I'm trolling because I am spewing some logic that breaks down into RP 101.

If you had not noticed:
You consider a outcast flying a transport carrying goods back to Malta to be a pirate? Right that sounds logical, I'm sure he fires frozen food at his targets. How about a battleship captain? Because pirates really can afford battleships, and server rules allow that. Look over the ID again, the role of trader is intentionally blended in. They are not pirates until they commit a act of piracy, this does not by any means mean that they cant be hunted for simply being Outcasts.

ID's are rule barriers and there to provide "cookie cutter" roles. It does not define the individuals RP, and you should not just assume anything.

You're crossing the rules with role play. By the rules - any ID that is allowed to pirate is a pirate. Thus, any person interacting with a person carrying any ID that is allowed to pirate can treat the person carrying it as a pirate. That is the purpose of the ID system. So that people know their role and so that others know how to treat them. That is the rules aspect.

If you want to get into the role play aspect of it? There are plenty of in game rumors, plenty of player interactions, and plenty of player created lore and role play that can be used by a person to make the claim that any Outcast is a pirate. Any. In a transport or not.

If I was a Kusari Naval/Gallic Navy character and I ran into an Outcast flying a transport full of food - first thought that would cross my mind is that he pirated it from another trader, because that is the role and lore of the Outcasts. So yes, it is logical. Need I remind you that the Pirate Transport exists for a reason? Or that you can easily feel a unarmed transport via piracy by grouping with others?

You, as a player, might not consider the Outcasts or Corsairs as pirates. That, however, is your opinion as a player and has zero to do with someone else's character's opinion of them.

Outcasts, Corsairs, Xenos, Gaians - they can all be considered pirates by anyone who encounters then due to their ID and due to past and present lore/role play.

You're right, the ID does not define an individuals role play - nor can you define another person's role play by telling them they cannot treat a Outcast ID'd transport as a pirate - as both the rules and role play allow them to do so. The choice is theirs - not yours.
