Rules Clarification Thread

[Thyrzul]

====================
RULE: 3.6 Attacking without RP
RULE: 4.2 Only one reasonable demand during each piracy interaction
QUESTION: May I suggest extending the explaination of "any hostile action that drains shields to less than 50%" with "or results in any significant hull damage" in Rule 3.6? Will this suggestion be considered, and the public notified about the result once accepted or denied?

From a recent chat with a member of the staff I understood that a certain quite questionable sanction of the past (which have already been mentioned in this thread) resulting in the current form of Rule 4.2 was handled the way it was because of a suspicion of Rule 3.6 circumvention during piracy by the "shields down manually by victim -> no hostile action draining shields below 50% ifvictim gets shot -> no engagement if victim dies" logic. I believe the above suggestion would fix the issue much better than any kind of "if a single demand is explained in multiple steps, they are separate demands each" logic, voiding the necessity of such and leaving room for unique roleplay attempts coloring our dull everyday lives full of "2milordie" encounters.
