I trade, Hop in a lane in california, A rogue stops me, and says... "Well hello there.. mind if you pay a little donation of 2 million".
"no"
"Then you die"
*pew pew*
Now: Take another scenraio, Samely based:
Trader gets stopped
Pirates starts a scene by typing:
"Hooray, Seems I am lucky today. *Shoots the engines to make the trader a drift*'
"Trader: Oi! Stop that!"
"Pirate: I would.. See what you get there in yer load?"
and so on.. Setup a scene.
Tax or die is just boring. Roleplay comes mainly from text, with actuall fighting an plus but not that importnant to me.
Right now, I have setupped scenes with a kidnapper in private, due to other pirates lolwutting and killing when I just come in theyr ZOI to actually RP.
Same with little nomads, I have engaged in a really nice rp's along the time.
Also, Preset messages should be removed by all pirates if you ask me. Its a great thing to have for when you have to type something long, but not everyone types fast, or wants to use those.
I only use for instance like: Giving a warning to my group to where I am at.
