I won't use TS to hunt traders but if you wander my way you can bet I'll pirate you. Not letting a potential cash cow wander away no matter who it is. Anyone attempting to use the "But I give money to the ##" will also get pirated. My Rogue likes no-one.
Saint Del is considered a holy healer of diseases of children, but also as a protector of cattle.
I was pirating in NY the other night and the guy who I wanted money from was saying "BUT I OUTCAST IN OTHER CHARACTER...." god it was annoying AND I only got 5,000 from him.

I learned my lesson, don't pirate NY...
I also played with the Rusty Donut.
Near perfect example as to what I said earlyer.:dry:
"Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do."
Like today I found a zoner or was it yesterday.. and I said, zoner id, zoner aff, hm.. Okay you have those engine components go sell them at Cadiz.
The NPCs were hostile to him tho, and I don't go into that, because they shouldn't be, but I ignored it, they're npcs. I care more about pc.
So i said, okay you can sell em to cambridge but hand over 500 here first.
I open trade window, and guy offers 5mil in his trade window.
i mean wtf..
People read..
I didnt take it btw, i insisted on components.
I agree with this completely, although I have never seen it. I do this, actually (you can ask Trevelyan, I pirated him twice :P), and it's much more fun than letting your friends slide by....
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.
I'll add this: Do the same for your own characters. It is horribly OORP to have a "trader" character that lives only to be the financial life-support system for your "fun" character. If you can't make money in-character then your character should be RPed as poor. Pirate? Do some smuggling on the side. Lawful? Trade on the side. Keep player knowledge and charcter knowledge separate.
I go by abbamouse, but my characters are the Cryer researcher Daniel Moss, the very boring and ordinary trader John Smith, the borderline-insane civilian Mr Joker, and a Bundschuh activist who goes by the alias Rosa Luxemburg. I am not them and they are not me.
Today I've pirated two (2) unique individuals. After being pirated, both of them switched to their unlawful char and began arguing with me. Funny thing is, one was a <faction1> character and the other was a <faction2>... both of them kinda "scolded" me for pirating them. The <faction1person> was Ageira IFFed and trading Niobium/Diamonds. The <faction2person> was untagged, but also trading Niobium/Diamonds. Both were coming through Hokkaido/Chugoku.
