Yes, I know all about the "don't wait too long" bit. That part is reserved for players who want credits and are afraid that their traders will stall for time. Good roleplayers could care less about credits and you guys are representing a faction with a very rich RP history (OPG, Sparta & Ivan legacy). And while RP can easily involve shooting a guy for "taking too long," you ought to know full well that there's a lot more player interaction in dialogue. And I don't mean happy go lucky chit-chat. Good pirate RP involves both long, ruthless dialogue and ruthless pew-pew.
Here's another thing. This is a borderline engagement notice violation. Not to say that it's sanctionable - but you guys cut it close. The traders said "four million," the pirate said, "I'm going to ask my pal."
When you did that you created an ambigious situation. You made it sound like you would consider it, and if not, then request ten million or die.
Instead, you said "I'm going to ask my pal..nah, it's still ten million" and then you started shooting. Even casual players say "2 mil or die." That way the other players understands the pirate wants the money right away. You made no effort to appear that you were in a rush. Vito was still engaged in RP dialogue when Trojan.Herald got blown up, which shows me that you were in mid dialogue roleplay.
Just to let you guys know where I'm comming from: I'm comparing your performance to guys like Sparta, Ivan, and Akura as well as a bunch of "no-names" that you've probably never heard about. I myself have pirated and been pirated plenty of times in a much better fashion. You guys can do better. And that's all I'm going to say.
