Clarification of Premise

I think that sadly, you are right.

If you want to do anything, you will have to take a lot of screenshots and spend a lot of time with your reports, and even more sadly, they probably wont be dealt with correctly even if you do.

If you make reports, you can also forward them to some members who got enough patience to collect them and use them as evidence some day.

I am sorry, but thats how it is here.

See the locked "transparency about sanctions" threads ins the rules section.

He's clearly not quite up on the rules Dusty.
Being that sarcastic to a noob is rather a wang motion.
EDIT: I see what you did there.

And no fletcher, no bounties on us. the LR ID itself is bountied by the Liberty Bounty board, but no threats as per requirement of that board were made.

A pair of armor 8 ptrans sitting in farmland/trade pipeline coming forward will uninformed impressions of what the Liberty bounty board does and does not say? Newbies that does not make.

I'm not sure where the knight in shining armor moment stands on the productive post level, but I'm sure it feels good ^_^

And yes, I changed npc farming to yarring. I realized I had made a rather ironic mistake in running with DI's assertion that they were npc farming as the basis of his own trololo attempts at slander in the form of accusing Bacon of trying to kill some other ships so that he might claim the exploit for himself. A lamentable error an one I quickly sought to rectify.

[DarthBindo]

I didnt say newbie. The state of being a newbie can be fixed.
Noob on the other hand, is forever. :laugh:

You know it.

EDIT:

You know, I originally didn't read anything, but then I did, and I have to say, what hypocrisy. So lets talk about what I'm talking about here...

First off, don't listen to the extreme lunacies of the monkey-avatar-ed man. If you want to see how I make money, I have an account called "Transports" and this is what it looks like. Admittedly, I have two pirates in here as well since I didn't know where else to put them, but you'll notice the only one in Galileo is a Barghest which I take into Shikoku to attack shipping going to Kepler. If you want to pirate me, I don't really care. Go ahead. Those numbers are hundreds of millions of credits. I won't mind losing some if a pirate has earned them after an interaction, but I will always RP the interaction with you. You can ask that Union Corse who tried to pirate me in Burgundy this afternoon.

Secondly, I'm not here to ruin anyone's fun. I'm not here to be a jerk. I want to have fun just like you. But for some reason, you think that your fun of farming NPCs in the corner of Sirius takes precedence over my fun of playing a Mercenary hunting you. I don't think that. I think both our fun is equal. I think that we should both have fun in the interaction we share. We should both make choices we want to make in a challenging situation. This is where the fun comes from. I'm your antagonist and you're my antagonist. We both want to win and we will both make choices to try and win. I don't think I denied you those choices. I don't want to be a jerk and kill you under unreasonable odds. Those Belial turrets really hurt, man. I don't want to make you unhappy as a player. I apologized to an SCRA who had caused me much grief today because I said something I really shouldn't have. No hard feelings. Just business.

Thirdly, I'm not a "lolwut." I know RP very well. I'm not just some trigger happy Mercenary. You guys fired first at NPCs. What kind of impression does this give to me? You're not at all interested in paying attention to me. You're not even interested in me when I shoot at you. All you want to do is shoot NPCs. Afterwards, I engaged in some nice RP with someone who called me a money whore. That was neat. I liked that. It was fun. If only that same vigor had been invested into the initial RP, I don't think this thread would be here.

Fourthly, I broke no rules. I made RP before the engagement. Admittedly, it was somewhat short, because quite frankly I did my part. It's your turn. I don't have to tell you who bountied you or whether or not there is a bounty on you. I have to RP with you. I did. I roleplayed. There was a bounty on you. I broke no rules.

Look to yourself for better RP before looking to others. I did my part. A Bomber shooting a UA 8 Transport cannot kill it very quickly. Even if I was shooting you, you had time. But I was met with "Pew pew NPCs!" Quite frankly, I resent being called a "lolwut" by someone complaining that I didn't tell him a story about a princess before I shot him.

Original post:

Let me ask you a question:

Does "Yes" and then shooting NPCs really give the impression that you're interested in actually continuing that RP?

To be honest, you had plenty of time to respond. As a transport pilot with an Armor VIII, I feel really comfortable responding to people when under fire. Probably because nothing can kill me while I type.

But that was less important to you than shooting NPCs. You know the Reavers collect on Rogues, I said it was a great night, I followed you for 5k, but for some reason this connection cannot be made. Instead of making that connection, you opened up with all of your Belial Turrets on the closest NPC.

I do not feel any remorse for what I did. I think I began that interaction and I think it could have gone in a great direction if the other party had any interest in pursuing it. However, it stopped there because the second party had no interest whatsoever.

[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.

[RmJ]

I failed.

Edit: We should just revoke the requirement of RP before PVP.

Hmmm?

Oh yeah.. right...

Technically the rules say that you have to make the guy aware if a guy hired you on the spot. They dont specifically say you have to make a guy aware if he posted it on the forum.

So I guess the edit where I said he should have made you aware is not entirely accurate.

But the rest, in particular the part that they will get away with "how is your day" as RP before pew pew while most other people wont, and them pushing the limit to make a point that they can while most cant, is still accurate.

It was entirely inaccurate. That it was inaccurate could have been verified with a thirty second pause for thought, thirty seconds which you were unwilling to set aside to assure accuracy prior to engaging in your crusade to vilify a group of people that you have a personal vendetta against.

Likewise your willingness to engage in casual slander. Enthusiastically pursuing accusations that Bacon was simply looking to engage those ships in an effort to 'claim' npc harvesting grounds for himself under the guise of the veteran player conspiracy agenda or whatever tosser rubbish you're trumpeting these days. This in the name of seeking to tear down players that you loath under the mask of lamenting the loss of 'fair play'?

That you did so whilst lambasting the perfectly acceptable conduct of one party, the one you have personal issues with, without deigning to question the origin stories of what turned out to be the actions of persons that we should seek to encourage away from silently expecting the environment to cater to their whims?

Absolutely pathetic.

But the rest, in particular the part that they will get away with "how is your day" as RP before pew pew while most other people wont, and them pushing the limit to make a point that they can while most cant, is still accurate.

Such actions happen and carry on literally hundreds of times a day on this server. That is a matter of public record. If, beneath your inability to transcend your disdain for individuals that you've decided must be hounded regardless of the validity of your attacks, you maintain a genuine desire to see active and positive change of policy and outlook on this server might I suggest that you abstain from engaging in such wildly inaccurate and grandiose statements? They're clearly perceivable and laughably inaccurate and do little save serve to undermine any credibility your present or future arguments could hope to carry.
