It's not a problem of bunters only, but of all new people who start RPing, and it's a normal thing that in a first month they'll go as you mentioned "Red on scanners, pew pew pew"
Our role play as hunters means that we're not there to get your life story. We're there to collect money that, if we could capture you, we would, but with the game mechanics means that we need to kill you. As quickly as possible.
Bounty Hunter ... not English Teacher, not Psychology Major, not Jounalist ...
Bounty - money to be paid upon your death
Hunter - the person getting paid the money upon your death
Next thing you'll know we'll see a post saying that after RP'ing that there was a bounty upon your head, that the hunter didn't bother to put up an engagement notice. (Here's a hint - no one has to say Ima gonna shoot you now, so get ready, m'kay? - unless it's in Connecticut, but that's a differerent place.)
Quit whining. And realize that the reason someone copied and pasted your comment only changing things slightly is because it's the damn truth. Either drop a pair (and I think even Silver has a bigger pair than you do for whining) or get over yourself.

Err.. Don't stand still in front of a loaded gun?
Being outnumbered on an Orca in 4.85 in pre-zoom/TS environment wasn't always the best way to successfully collect a bounty. Especially if you're facing another gunboat.
So, why go the hard way, asking him to change places (like if he will), etc, when you just need to blow him up, screen it and gtfo until reinforcements arrive?

makes sense since we are in a RP server and all
RP does not necessarily mean typing things. Granted it's against the rules to do what you've just said, but it would make perfect sense iRP.

Pretty much this. You lose if you expect your enemy to tell his life story whenever he encounters you, after all he's your enemy and they tend to shoot you.
Hell, you should be happy that he at least said something xD

that's true,same applies to navy[no words,two words"Fire at will",rare cases "u shoot my bro(real life)",etc]
but when they say something like u need to pay a tax[the bountie hunters],you must wonder if we shouldnt just tag over..
People want to believe that God has a plan for them.
They don't wanna believe that anyone else does..
