Piracy roleplaying

[VoluptaBox]

There's a difference between being greedy in-RP and being greedy OORP.

The first can result in fun RP for both parties and the pirate making some money.

The second results in one party ending up miserable and the other one making a post on the forums complaining that there's no traders or miners left.

So..the pirate can't be OORPly greedy (whatever the hell that means, not like you can buy cars with disco money), but the trader can, coz he needs his cap8 dread? I am getting the feeling: if things don't go your way, they are ruining your fun and those people should be removed.

Also, dividing players on pirates and traders is ridiculous because most of the players have both pirate and trader characters and pirate each other. That polite navy pilot who just saved your butt might be the very jerk that pirates you on your route. Different characters require different mindsets. That doesn't mean that somebody wants to screw with you.

That is so true...I remember when I used to pirate in NY...got tons of insults. Eventually I would get blown up and log my LN and go to Cali. All of a sudden I was a saint :lol:
