Piracy roleplaying

[SMGSterlin]

I have pirated for years. Allow me to explain this to you.

90% of traders are silent and just try to run (and I kill them). Of the remaining 10%, 8% will chat to haggle you down to half your demand without roleplay (and this is Ok, I guess.). The remaining 2% pay up after roleplaying. If you were trying to make money pirating, how would you state your demands?

When I pirate, it's in roleplay, but it's not a cooperative experience. I'm there to take money from someone else. It is a competitive environment. I get competitive. I blow people up for taking a second too long. You can whine all you want to, but that's what a pirate should do. They're not nice people who have all day to shoot the breeze.

P.S. I helped an Outcast pirate a full DSE barge today for 14 million, complete with rude, impatient, inrP demands.;)

Yeah, but still, there is another person playing that trader, try to remember that and not be a total jerk about it, doing so ruins the fun for him, which isn't encouraged here. You can give the "inRP, a pirate would do this" reason all day, but when the day is over, it's still just a game, and people are still here to have fun, don't ruin that fun for someone.
