RE: Unlawful demands. - Laz - 12-31-2015 I think it was a genuine question. Rather than rant at people. as said here (12-31-2015, 12:30 AM)FluffReborn Wrote: @Dawson Base RE: Unlawful demands. - The Savage - 12-31-2015 (12-31-2015, 12:40 AM)Snoopy Wrote: It was so much nicer when you didn't complain about everything, Fluff... Original post wasn't complaint. It was question, which have been answered. But then, Dawson posted logs despite my good will to simply learn about rules.

You can't see the difference as to how transferring cash or cargo is not the same as letting someone have to shoot at you period. Don't apologize for the limitations, recognize them and know when you're crossing the line. You may not have had trouble thus far but as you now know that only went so far without hitting a bump in the road right? Are you just ignoring me on purpose? It is a Roleplay substitute for the gun (or parts of it, plating, whatever) being salvaged. That's neither lorebreaking nor in any way problematic. Recognizing the limitations would, for example, mean that we're not mining inRP anymore - we're instead shooting rocks and somehow the beams teleport our stuff in our holds. Roleplaying on Freelancer works that way.

You are, once more, digging too deeply into the problem and ignoring what is obvious. The demand issued is not a demand that results in the death of the trader. This is not a demand, say, asking someone to fly into the sun, where turning down the demand would mean in your destruction and where accepting the demand would also have you meet the same fate. The reason why we have to ask people to do this-then-this-then-this, is BECAUSE this is an unorthodox demand. If we outright asked you to ''give me your turrets'', then you would be confused. This is why with every encounter we specifically tell people that they need to stop and hold still and let us salvage their external components. We try to make it very clear WHAT is being asked from them. To halt their ship and stand still, that their guns are what is being targeted and, as you can see by the chat logs, that no harm would be done to their ship or their pockets if they do this. Again, the reason for so many steps is to make people understand what exactly is being asked from them so that they have less chance to accidentally disobeying the demand. If we would just ask them to stop and started shooting, they would think that they are being shot and start running - not allowing us to fulfill the demand. That is why, again, we specifically tell them WHAT is being asked from them. We are telling that so they do not accidentally get themselves killed. RE: Unlawful demands. - Laz - 12-31-2015 I think this is turning into a rant and argue thread, question answered. Can this be put to rest? RE: Unlawful demands. - The Savage - 12-31-2015 FluffReborn Wrote:@Dawson Base RE: Impossible demands? - Dawson Base - 12-31-2015 Something that should be added, if we just wanted to kill this guy, we could have done so because he did not comply to the demands. He did not disable his shield. Instead we proceeded to down the shield ourselves to shoot off the guns as we originally wanted. This is when the guy started shooting us. Anyway. Here is the footage: Tell me how this looks from my point of view with the constant spam of oorp bull. we don't like trial-by-forum Especially when we do start downing his shields. I even told him to hold still before we started shooting the guns off and just downed his shields, as if to tell them that ''nobody is killing you, shut up.'' RE: Impossible demands? - Kauket - 12-31-2015 It was used as an example to show you what was right about it. The fact that the thread was created right after the incident, kind of implies it.

This is when the guy started shooting us. I clearly stated I'm AFK to all players around, so I weren't going anywhere - wishing to continue roleplay with you. You could have waited, because you know I prefer serious RP and I don't ask ooRPly bigger boys to come and defend me. You didn't. And I don't AFK right under the gun for no serious reason. I've returned to my PC and I saw my ship being fired upon. How I was supposed to react? RE: Impossible demands? - Laz - 12-31-2015 To be honest, i would have to side with Fluff. He couldn't see the other messages, This is a classic case of Miss Communication.
