Roleplay, being pirated.

[Zygoeths]

When you get pirated, the last thing you wanna do is die, traders don't wanna die. So when a trader goes, "You know what, just kill me." Isn't that a bit out of roleplay.. Post your comments.

Agreed, Its cheaper just to pay the demand and be on your way. I try to rp it a little (Still working on that).

Now having said that, it gets tiresome when I get pirated 5 and 6 times a night. I know pirates need to eat too, but when it comes down to having played a trader all night and all I have accomplished is losing a large sum of money and made nothing, it isn't any fun nor is it worth it.

Personally I think a requirement is that everyone should have to have a trader character, that way everyone feels the pinch. just my opinion.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I once got a message consisting of "Just kill me my cargo isnt 2 mill anyways:P"

Stupid {OoRP} members..

Either pay, haggle, or try to run. Don't just wait to die.

Power traders care about the numbers not RP, it often costs less credits to die.

That does seem pretty odd of them. Plus, what's the fun if you don't try and negotiate with them?

I haven't managed to be pirated in a while though for some reason.

I tried to pirate someone earlier today by telling them they could either pay me or take me out on a date. Sadly, no rp came back to me, they just hit the tradelane and ran.
I didn't even quote a price, I mean, if I had gotten 50k or somesuch I would've just made a comment about not being such a cheap date

I prefer the haggle, distract, and run stratagem. :D
At least;
A; you made some effort to escape
B; you did some RP
C; you might actually have a tenth chance at escaping
D; you RP'ed.. wait.. oh well you can never say it too many times.:cool:
(and E; if you get good pirates you can have some truly ROFL-Banter)
