' Wrote:So I've set up my new character, an Universal transport going under the name USV-Brandt. I'm only using jumpgates and tradelanes and of course, carrying legal goods. Today, I was carrying some Alien Organisms from Kurile that were supposed to be shipped to Willard. As usual, I carried on with my roleplay, announcing any lawful about my provenience, haul and destination.
I got to Kusari, and surprise - on the tradelane to Planet New Tokyo I get disrupted by about 5 AFA (Farmer's Alliance) ships. I was actually quite relieved they were not outcasts, blood dragons or anything like this. I continued with my roleplay, saying "tradelane disruption detected"..etc. Then I get shot at, without even a warning or anything. I ask them who they are, what do they want and why they keep on shooting me up. One or two started talking, while the others were still shooting. I asked them to cease fire and explain, I only got "DROP THE CARGO" lines.
Now, I created this character so I can get some quality RP, and not powertrade. I told them it's not that easy to unload 5000 tons of Alien Organisms into space, and that the cargo straps were somehow blocked and I could release them. Nothing from their side, they didn't even ask where the goods came from and what was their destination... nothing. One of them began counting while the other was telling me in caps to 'DROP THE CARGO' (all this while getting shot by the others). Desperately I told them to give me a second, and while I was actually jettisoning the stuff - I get blown up.
What's wrong with these people, seriously, this is a ROLEPLAY server and this is a refusal to roleplay, in my opinion. I was in an Advanced Train, and they were 5 heavy fighters (even a bomber was there) - how the hell was I such a threat to them. I couldn't run, I couldn't defend myself and I couldn't ask for help in this short amount of time. What's with this blood-thirst from a bunch of farmers ?? Is it all about killing now?
This is ridiculous and action really needs to be taken against these kind of people.

How about a civilized discussion? No? We can't see that here?
Come on people, behave. Don't just spit on someone because you feel like it.
If you'v got nothing constructive to say, don't say anything.

Ive had enough of disco for now. I might be back at the next mod release.
Teschy, you'll know to be less chatty next time. Lots of RP is good, but work on the meaty stuff rather than the *docking clamps are hard to open* stuff. Being quick with 'why am I doing this' and 'how can I get out of this' can help in such situations. Also, even if under fire, keep the //chatter out of it.
AFA, I know it's your roleplay to hate gaijin and be unsympathetic and issue immediate ultimatums; but if someone is earnestly roleplaying, does it occur that meeting them halfway is more fun for all? Even when entangled I try to get some good RP out of my opponents -- just today while being chased around by the =LSF= and Navy independents, I demanded to know the charges and requested due process. Given time I'd have also demanded to call my lawyer.
This server isn't all about BLAM BLAM DEAD. If someone seems to have an angle going, work with them and enhance everyone's playing experience. That's not to say applying pain as necessary isn't also good RP, but keep it reined in.
EDIT: Of course, I wasn't there and maybe you did do that. In any case, the above isn't bad advice by any means. Though I'm probably preaching to the choir here.

I said that becase the game is stressing him out more than it should. Sometimes you're better off just not caring for it at all. The time it took you to type out that paragraph could have been used for something more enjoyable on your end...seriously you sound really straing there. Don't take it as hard next time otherwise you'll just ruin th game not just for you but for others. Just think about it...or better yet don't.
