Rules Conflict

[teephoto]

I have read rule
6.19 Pirates have a right to deal as much damage as they see fit before or after demanding money from a trader ship, gut killing trader ship before demanding money or cargo is not allowed.

Now next rule:
Engagement
6.21 Attacking without an engagement notice is not alled. ALL ATTACKS, I REPEAT, ALL ATTACKS MUT BE PRECEDED WITH SOME FORM OF RP, REGARDLESS OF NPC FACTION DIPLOMACY.

Pirates violate rule 6.21 every time they fire one shot without announing an engagement, this is an attack! Here's the kicker, when I mention rules to Rogues or pirates they all say they don't have to follow rules, any rules. So, far everyone of them has said they are not afraid of the Admin or of sanctions! This is the attitude they get from rule 6.19
