Today, i just realized that some pirates get there RP ever funnier and funnier;
I was heading from freeport 1 to the cambridge jumpgate when i noticed that a pirate just undocked at FP 1. I just made my lanejump, so i thought, owkey, i am safe.
Now there was sort of a traffic jam near the jumpgate, so i waited. But just as it was my turn, the pirate came out of the lane and asked the standard phrase: 2mill or die.
Now since i was docking with the gate i decided, hell lets run. So after i jumped he came after me, disrupted the lane before i could dock with it, and without RPing it further he blew me up.
Now, i don't like to be blown up without RP, so i went something like this:
::::lifepod signal:::: Man o man, the BAF should know the corsairs(because he was corsair) have access to there jumpgates, talk about security breach.
Now this guy starts spaming the system chat with things like OMG, your dead, stop saying things, u suck at RP,... and he really anoyed me, so i thought, lets have some RP fun with the guy
so i went: "what you talking about killed me, never heared of lifepods, or do you poor corsairs don't have them, maybe you guys should break in into some shipyard and steal those plans to make some of your own, that really could come in handy. And now that we are talking about breaking in, how did you get those access codes for the jumpgate, i had to pay allot to have access to them.
Now i think i got on his nerves as he shouted : OMG, stop that RP crapp, get over the fact that i am stronger than you weakling
Now things were beginning to become very interested, so i thought, lets see how far we can go with this. I continues down the line of.
MMM, so basicly, you want me to stop RPing, but as i am RPing a trader, why would i, the trader, pay you 2 mill if the only reason for me doing so would be that RP rules say i should?
now, the only thing he had to say to that was that i am a noob lawyering person who couldn't stand losing a ship to him, only he said it with a bit more "Color" if you know what i mean.:P
Now i only have one question that troubles me? Have i become a lawyer here? cause i really don't want to be
If traders can dock at stations with 1/3 or half of size of their ships to save themselves (border stations) or fly thru chugoku (or 5k from SECRET hessian base Vogtland)... pirates can freely use JGs... but that OOC after was bad, that is true.
Being a trader, this topic is of interest to me. Consider this. Perhaps the fellow was a bit off, (doubtless) perhaps a little fun was in order, but also in the spirit of the game and constant evolving and improvement, we might bend an ear in the green and let them know how the encounter went for you. I've spent time doing this and it works when giving props and when offering advice. Both come away with something valuable.
It's listed in my signature as 'stop wit the rp CRAP'.
Stuff such as this is always great. Now you know there's at least one more person out there, laughing for the same reason as you do. Keep up the good work.
