' Wrote:What you are missing is that as a Xeno I am unable to demand CARGO...

Am I mistaken admins?
Show me the ID that says "this ID allows you to extort money from others". As far as I know there isn't one. That means either everyone on the server is allowed to extort, or the bit about can/can't "demand cargo" is also talking about extorting cash.
How logical is it that an ID saying "cannot demand cargo" means "but you can demand money"? It's not at all. Not because demanding cash is illogical, but because prohibiting the demanding of cargo makes no sense whatsoever.
I think the belief that "can't demand cargo" means "can demand money" is rules-lawyering in a big way.

to subjugate the enemy's army without doing battle is the highest of excellence."
