Piracy roleplaying

[Bloom]

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.

Well that is bs as well, since people only use RP arguments when it fits their needs. A trader will say it's perfectly acceptable for him to just want the money and silent cruise away. And it is. But on the other hand, the pirate...you know where I'm going.

Bottom line, it's up to the individual pirate's discretion, He can choose to play one way or another, but neither make him a jerk or such. If you get upset over a pirate taking 5m of your pixel credits, well...I think your problem goes well beyond the pirate.

Most decent pirates (example, LH and LR) will roleplay according to the situation and to the trader. Those who go "5milordai" are the lolwhuts who don't even read forums, thus making this thread useless. They are the same silent miners/traders and "lol pirate, die" dread captains.
