The unwritten rule, applies per trader, not per group of traders.
This has nothing to do with the group's current status as I believe the unwritten rule was saying: Do not take more than half of trader's/player's income (except demanding whole cargo to be jetisoned). For example, while Commune was on official war with Bretonia, we used to demand all of their cargo and destroying it, because our mission was to destabilize Bretonia's economy (which is inRP very logical thing, right?). That is, if you take a look, a complete loss of the trader's income.
I used to demand 15 millions from a traders that carried ore back in the day. People didn't have problem with that at all. Then, I decided that I should go for 10 millions, which is same price for you when you request a miner to fill your 5k trader up. I mean I used to trade too and I know that 15 million donation feels a bit sad, but I guess it's same thing when you get blued. I also advise (since I lead Commune and I used to lead SR) that we keep our demands reasonable depending on what cargo we see.
I also recall a moment when Samarran Raiders were yet young and yet made group of Pirates and Slavers and IMG group, I don't know if that was official one, but they used to pay us daily around 100 or 150 millions to leave them alone in Dublin only.
Another example is that, we totally ignored newbs in the freighters or small transports with really tiny cargo hold. We still do that.
Therefore my opinion is that 10 million demand is not problem here. Better than demanding all your cargo and blowing it up or taking it away? Which is also, okay and not prohibited.
So to sum it up, Legionares need to understand that getting blued is totally fine and IMG needs to understand that being pirated or especially being shot by Outcast is as well, totally fine.
