Good evening to you as well, Commander Crucible.

I am sad for not receiving the chat logs from DSAce, which would have allowed me to specifically refer to the events that occurred. In all my interactions, I have consistently engaged in concrete roleplay, something that none of the players on the server are obligated to do (and a good part of them don't), but it enhances the overall experience. We hold ourselves to high standards, and concrete roleplay is of importance. As it seems that things haven't entirely worked in your favor, I'll take this opportunity to clarify certain aspects.

From the very beginning of our interaction, it was quite apparent to me that you were making an effort to avoid me (as usual powertraders do, and in truth, if you had stayed, I would not have shot you down. I would have roleplayed, but you refused to roleplay back). On several occasions, I noticed that when I entered the system where SRD stayed for 20 minutes, their ship would magically appear on the opposite side (as a transport). It's quite evident that you were trying to avoid any interactions, but I chose not to pursue the matter further. You had an escort whom I gave multiple opportunities to leave the sector, but unfortunately, he didn't heed the advice. He openly declared his support for Samura and provided you with 5k Xeno Relics (You went to Omicron Xi to get those artifacts), something that the Blood Dragons despise. That escort kept informing you whether to undock, yet you refused to until he forced me to engage him so you could escape. Is this the RolePlay that you talk about?

You spent a significant amount of time docked at Yukawa Shipyard, seemingly in an attempt to force me to leave the sector so you could continue your trade.

If we're going to discuss RolePlay, I feel compelled to mention that your actions do not align with a good approach to RolePlay.

When I first encountered your escort, who entered the trade rings ahead of you, we had a normal conversation. Later, when I followed the same trade lane to see what was happening, I noticed you heading towards Yukawa to dock (cruising through open space to avoid an interaction), but you didn't engage in any exceptional roleplay, which is perfectly fine. I would have certainly RolePlayed a lot more if you stopped. But, you chose not to. Actions have consequences.

I provided you with three opportunities to halt and avoid running away, but each time, you tried to escape and refuse to respect a Blood Dragon. On the fourth occasion, I had to resort to shooting you.

Once I saw you beginning to speak in the local chat, expressing your dissatisfaction with the Blood Dragons not allowing you to escape with the Artifacts for the FOURTH time (which they view as a threat to Kusari due to their ties with the Order and knowledge of certain matters unknown to ordinary pilots), I knew you would come to the feedback forum and place all the complaints on me.

Additionally, I'd like to address the 2 versus 1 bomber situation you mentioned. Do you genuinely believe it's acceptable to restock during combat while ganking someone (2 versus one in bombers against a fighter isn't a gank more of the time, but if two experienced players face on experienced player, it's a gank. One bomber tried to instakill be the whole time, while other rank away trying to corona beam me from a distance. Later on, that bomber restocked, and returned to combat me again. I died)?

If you had chosen to stay and fight instead of repeatedly fleeing to restock (and attempt to damage me with Corona beams from distance), you could have had a chance to defeat me. For the record, I didn't run away; I fought until I perished, and I didn't complain about the situation anywhere. It's okay to die in a game.

If anyone else has a specific complaint to raise about my roleplay, they are welcome to do so.

I don't believe it's appropriate for you to go to such lengths to avoid interacting with me in the game just because we are enemies, and then complain that our RP is not acceptable. Sounds a bit hypocritical, doesn't it?

On the contrary, I actively seek interactions and don't shy away from them. I've spent a whole week trying to interact with GMG, and I finally had that opportunity today. While it's true that we are adversaries (Samura and Blood Dragons), I am still committed to providing roleplay when it makes sense, and I hope we can avoid actions like avoiding each other for the sake of personal gain. Instead, let's take the chance to engage in meaningful roleplay together and enjoy the game collaboratively.

Every action you take in the game has consequences. In the lore, the Blood Dragons mercilessly target and relentlessly engage against Samura, doing everything possible to eliminate them. During gameplay, I am willing to engage in roleplay with you as long as you refrain from avoiding interactions like this, or if the situation doesn't allow me to RolePlay much. I think this is a very reasonable approach. Can't please everyone. Other Blood Dragons probably aren't as kind as I am. That miner willingly engaged himself into a combat against me. Later on, dived into a planet as he had hugged a station before. I wish players would log adequate ships for encounters, and accept the consequences if they come across something that's considered better than that ship class.

I hope I cleared some things up.

Have a good day/night.
