Piracy roleplaying

[dodike]

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...

Perhaps the pirates should ask the traders if they can pirate them and for how much. Mercenaries will ask their prey if they are okay with being shot. Let's apply that for all characters.
Let's remove all the challenge from the game and turn it into one big theater where all encounters are run by a script on which all involved parties agreed on. No one will ever loose unless he choices to.
Nobody hurt, no pain.
