Piracy roleplaying

[Bloom]

Of course, do whatever it takes to get one up on the other guy, 0.0 and RP be damned.

Instead of pretending that the pirates respects 0.0 (which is total bs, meaning is a lame argument that has absolutely no meaning) by asking less, why don't you do that and pay him?

If a pirate makes a demand that he knows the trader isn't going to agree to and is going to result in the trader making a run for it and probably dying to the trader, the pirate isn't looking for RP. He's looking for a blue message. Full stop.

Mhmm....again..considered other possibilities...like...paying? For the sake of argument, let's say the pirate it's in it just for the blue message. Means you're in just for the credits...I hardly see how that's different.

Sure, I'll consider that. Next time I see an escort I'll consider that. I've had exactly two people ask me if I wanted an escort in the last month. One of them was an AI cruiser.

Besides the fact that I always found plenty of escorts....again, for the sake of argument, let's say there are none. How exactly is it the pirate's fault, and why should he go easy on you because you couldn't find an escort?

If the pirate is going to throw 0.0 and RP out the window, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't do the same. Pirates seem to be under this impression that they can do whatever they want to traders and the trader should just accept it because they "don't want to die."

I see...hidding behind rules who's meaning you do not understand....np :rolleyes:
Pirates CAN do whatever they want, since they have the gun. Traders have options, but they're too stupid/lazy/greedy to look for them.
