Piracy roleplaying

[SMGSterlin]

Yet you (as in traders) are the ones taking things too seriously and making a big deal about it.

Charging someone completely all of their profits for one run, or all of their cargo, isn't enjoyable to anyone but the pirate, which isn't what this game is about. Someone doesn't waste 30 minutes to an hour mining, just to get all of his cargo taken away. That just produces anger, and anger being the price of RP is completely and utterly wrong.

EDIT: And just before anyone goes "it's the traders fault for getting mad!", no, the blame is not solely on the trader for getting angry, the blame is also on the pirate for showing a lack of thinking from the other player's standpoint.

But you CAN be a douche as well. It's up to the player to decide which way to play. You're just trying to impose your idea of gameplay on others, whereas they might not agree.

I'm not going to tell people how to RP, that's not what Disco is about. However, you would be hard pressed to find someone who would actually say "nope, the game is only meant to be fun to the pirate, and screw the player playing the trader", but that is what it seems like now days... Gameplay is a two way street, not just a one way street for the pirate, with that said, the trader should also reach out to the pirate as well.

I mean, come on, you can't actually say that what I said about everyone respecting each other is wrong, if everyone would, the game would become a lot more enjoyable for everyone...
