' Wrote:Maybe... to be honest... this is what happen in very many cases:
Pirate: 10 mil or you die!
Trader: OOC: wait a min
Pirate: you are running!
(the tradere was just answering a phone call in real world and his trasport was not moving at all)
The pirate attacks and destroy the trader.
Is this roleplay? I would name it in a different way... before blaming traders for lack in RP, go around and check how much RP is really done by pirates...
This is sooo much more like what i have seen. Heck i got "stop" i said "nah" Then i here "ok now you die" Then i get hit by 2 super nova's,and a ton of nuke mine's. Whole encounter lasted maybe 30 sec's. I never even got a demand for cash, or cargo. And before anyone tell's me screen it,and put in sanction's... Well i did,and nothing. So you see. A pirate can do anything he want's,and get's away with it. A lawful doe's anything,and sanction city. Just look in sanction's. Most are lawful's. I will admit they may be because of real nasty OORP,or other ofences,but i have seen the same with pirate's but nothing.
That is why people are going pirate. To much leeway to what they can do,but lawful's have a strict guideline of what they cannot do.
