Quote: 3.1 An attack is any hostile action that drains shields to less than 50%. Saying "Engaging" is not sufficient and aggressors are not allowed to destroy a ship before allowing sufficient time to respond. If a player is attacked he has the right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking. Trading nanobots, shieldbatteries or other ammo and equipment during a fight is also considered taking an active role in the engagement.
Consequences:
With great power comes great responsibility. Sorry, I just had to do that. Seriously though, there is a lot of responsibility that comes with flying a battleship. You have to say a little more than two words before you decide to pop someone. Especially when the two words do nothing to identify the ship you are shooting or your intention to shoot him. Your guns have fallen off and there's a sanction notice in your hold.

4 Lines of Roleplay was made available to the "victim". In total, 8 words with enough time given to act upon it. Considering the target I was pursuing was heading to Rochester to dock it was the only logical and role fitting action to take. The lack of RP shown from one image is clearly a revenge sanction attempt, which went through. Please explain to me, what is the minimal count of words/symblos/lines before one can engage someone according to his role on the server.
I will share my lifestory with people I am going to shoot from now on, to prevent such sanctions from happenening. I will do my best to satisfy PvP Pirates with plenty of RP before I start to shoot at them in order to comply with rules and to adhere to admin team wishes to keep this community healthy,friendly and excellent to each other.
My biggest apologies goes to the victim in question, for I mistook you for another PvP oriented Asco with Pirate ID in New York System and thought that you only wanted to PvP a bit more. Next time, you will be notified whom I am targeting and you might even get to know my character more deeply with the lots of lines and words of RP.

Two words in 15 seconds. That might be a new RP record?
It's like pirating a trader with three words: "Pay three millions!"
If you really think I was going to dock on the Rochester base,your logic should be able to understand that it would not really take me 15 seconds to dock on the Rochester which was only 500-1000m far from me. *smiles*
I do really appreciate your consciousness now.But... from now on,please remember,don't consider me as a PvP Pirate,when it's possible to RP, I do my best to keep a nice RP chat.

You acknowledged my RP, but were unable to deal with the fact I did not gave engagement notice, which is not even mandatory to provide.
You can try dragging my name through the mud, but you know what, I do not give one piece of crap about what you think. You provided evidence only benefiting your side of the story. Why not scroll above it and show them I did more RP than what you claim that I did? Or would that not have gotten me sanctioned? This is clearly revenge sanction and let's hope it is the last one that comes through. Because if admins allows this to continue, then soon people like you will start rule-sharking everyone who wronged them to the point where community is back to the dark ages of sanctioning for all the small things and wasting more time submitting sanction reports than actually contributing to server.
I am proud to say that my activity in server is very high, and that the RP I create around me is accepted by everyone without many complaints. You on the other hand exist only to be of annoyance to New York population with your Pirate IDed Asco that is there only to shoot people. Look at your ID, and perhaps try roleplaying your role properly, like, acting as pirate, instead of villain who engages all capital ships in sight. Once you changed your ways, perhaps you will find people more tolerant to your presence and actually provides a bit more RP than needed to engage you.
Revenge on what? What have you done to me,that I need to revenge in this way? You've mentioned an "logical action" above,while you cannot even show us any kind of logic from your side. You blame me on reporting you as an act of revenge,while you've neither harmed me,nor blown up any of my ship. What the revenge you're talking about here.
Now let's get back to our business now.
Firstly,you have no right to talk about my ideology,while I pirate traders in front of lawfuls. If you don't believe, you can ask some of your friends,I'm pretty sure some of them have experienced that terrible feeling. I've evidences that proves my pirating skills too,but I have no willing to prove anything to you in this situation.
Secondly,what's about your two lines,that you wrote just a few minutes before our accident happened,even if I acknowledged your RP,you didn't do it right.You were on duty,right? You thought I was going to keep moving,right? If you were on your duty,why didn't you order me to cut my engines instead of saying "This" and opening fire? It is like complaining a trader who ran away from you,while you didn't even order him/her to stop.
Thirdly,if you are further interested about my Role Playing,you can visit this and then think whether I'm acting like a Pirate,or like a Murderer.
Finally,I do really appreciate your high activity on the server. Also,If I was after shooting,and that was the only thing I cared about in this game,I would not start playing Freelancer,I would have simply started playing Counter-Strike.But I still hope you won't have any doubts about my acting as a pirate in New York. Maybe if you don't late so much,you'll see some piracy scenarios with your own eyes too.
I have no idea why you submitted the sanction then, instead of writing in game PM, suggesting to do more RP next time in order to improve overall wellbeing of server. At least that is what I do with people who RPed too little. As I prefer face-to-face approach for win-win situation. You went to admins straight away, to make you lose time and make me lose pixel money and time needed to reequip ship. Loss-loss. Perhaps you get high from seeing someone being sanctioned. If that is your thing, so be it. better than drugs or alcohol or one-night stands.
I take my leave, accepting the sanction as it is, even if I believe it being misplaced and unjust taking into account circumstances.
