As plunderer I haven't pirated anyone, I have however, told people to report to a planet or station to be scanned and had them ignore me.
Ignoring RM directives gets you a $2mil fine. Read the faction rules in the [RM] faction thread, every fine I've placed on someone was because they broke RM rules or ignored [RM] directives.
As for threatening people, when? I've merely been pointing out to people that it's easier to do as asked once, then they don't get a fined slapped on them or shot at after they refuse to pay the fine 4 or 5 times.
For the last time:-
WHEN IN RHIENLAND DO AS THE [RM] ASKS, OTHERWISE IT'S ON YOUR OWN HEAD.
Ok? It's simple enough.
As for the 'pirating' of a large train by a single red hessian HF (an NPC to boot) thats because I was typing a message to the trader, though why they were worried about a single NPC using laser weapons against a graviton shield is beyond me, it takes 2 or 3 corsair titans or outcast sabres to drop a class 7 graviton shield fast enough to worry anyone.
Korrd, not knowing who you are, please take no offense, your services as a mediator will not be required. As to presenting proof as to the accusations, again pointless. Intelligence recieved prior to entering Rheinlander Space, of the stop, be scanned, and then be destroyed and looted tactic being employed dictated our actions. TBF will conduct business for the Empire as we see fit.
So we have a stale mate, ships on both sides have had ships destroyed and I see no end to that in the near future. TBF will continue to leverage opportunities to pick off Rheinland patrol vessels and it's leadership where ever they maybe encountered. The suicidal run at the Rheinland Admiral two days ago, while unsuccessful, should send a clear message that we will attack right at the heart of all that you hold dear.
While you may have won the early engagements, each attack shows us the weaknesses in your defenses; after each attack better weapons configurations become known; each attack inspires others to attack a once mighty Empire. Your knowledge of this sector is your advantage granted, but TBF is learning quickly! It's an advantage that you won't have long.
Arrogant, insane, loony are all terms used in response to my demand of 100 million in restitution. You may think us not worthy of your attention as we are but two warriors. Perhaps we are viewed as an annoyance at best. You have other enemies, more powerful than us with the numbers and ships to backup their actions. What weaknesses are they seeing as they watch your attempts to control what happens within your borders. Do they smell death? I think they do! How many others will rally to their banners if or when they decide to move against you again? How many of your allies will decide it's not their fight? The battles will be glorious!

Perhaps it is being misunderstood here or perhaps I have the wrong idea about the role play aspect of this game. There is no "claim" to be settled here and no "issue" which might require mediation. We maintain Freelancer ID's. Our statement is simply this.....We will opperate where we feel we need to, when we feel we need to and How we feel we need to. Anyone attempting to interfere with those operations will be met with weapons fire....simple. We are most certainly NOT trying to anger anyone in real life...and we are most certainly NOT trying to start any personal fights with anyone by any means...if it came across that way, please accept my personal apology for it was not my intent.
And just to set the record straight, my last battle report was for that one single battle. I told no lies about the outcome whatsoever Wolf :) We are only two warriors....we are bound to lose a few of course. Rest assured that unsucessful raids will be reported as well as the successful ones.
Side note....The RM pilots I fought were worthy opponents indeed...not an easily won battle by any means...
They died well <Salute>
They are talking about me accusing [RM]Plunder for pirating...
Even if that were not the case, I seriously feel that the RM needs to review its modus operandi...
I totally agree with the zero-tolerance policy, since people just fly stuff in and dock before you can do anything...but there needs to be some changes...
OCC: And Marauder, really, no offense man....I just get really hyped up during debates! To me, its like giving a 8 year old 10 cans of Red Bull...
Anyways...why didn't you just shoot the damn RH...you are supposed to kill them on sight....
Later, there were around 2-3 pirates flying around...
But my message to you is, be rational in your approach. If the guy moves around, you can still scan him...If he is attacked, help him, no matter how insignificant it is, because it might actually be nerve wrecking for someone else...
In addition, I am dropping this topic...I think that it was not going in a good direction and might lead to further disharmony in disco, which has a great community.

Just a suggestion.... Keep it IC. Don't take the battle to Real life. If you can keep the thing civilized, then i won't argue.
I'm just being cautious, as many wars brought by new factions ended up in flames... And i don't like seeing whole factions ruined for that.

As I have said....we ABSOLUTELY DO NOT mean anything at all personal....all in good fun and the spirt of the game....forgive us if we dont quite have the role playing thing down, but that is the only intent...we have a GREAT time flying here....it is one of the best starship war game servers I have ever found...
now back to the game....we are freelanceers and intend to conduct ourselves so
Could I ask something... ? How are they allowed to open fire without warning on RM vessels, yet do not have the proper rep (READ: Green in my HUD, Police tag) to show they are enemies of Rheinland. Should they not show up RED?
They *HAVE* been declared enemies of the state. RP states that they should be shot at the by the NPC's.
Krog, Virus's statement does make sense. Be nice if your RP did make you an enemy in everyway, if Rheinland
is to be your intended permanent target.
Hessian, Bundschuh, Unioner or LWB, even Corsair ID and tag would be a good move. Or just the tag with an FL ID. Difficult without the NPCs shooting at you to be true enemies ...
Just me bit ...

The events that occured with my trader: HNS_Leopardclaw...
I was trading in a large train from New Berlin to Honshu. VIPs for Prisoners. I had just jumped into New Berlin from Sig 13 and [RM] Plunderer was waiting for me. hailed me .... said to stop and be scanned. I stopped. and waited... and waited... and waited... he didnt say anything. Then an NPC pirate started coming in to attack me. Still nothing from him. I started shooting the pirate. Then he typed in that he wanted 2 mill from me for not stopping earlier... by that time I had started moving again because the pirate presence was multiplying and he wasnt helping me. Then he opened up on me! So I hit the cruise. He ordered me to stop, I told him I would not because he was nothing more than a pirate. He chased me around NB. I whipped around the sun and jumped back to Sig 13. He said "congratulations, you now have a 6 million credit penalty."
