Ever since I was in RHA, as Vilkas said himself, we are always the ones being outnumbered. My post had no hostile intent (in regards to my claims about the screenshots). That is why I said if you have screenshots, do post them, because the RHA does not gank, and the RHA will not gank, from what I can see and from what I have seen playing there.
That is why it is hard to me believe in this, do not get me wrong, I am not calling you a liar, but until I actually -see- it, of course I will defend people with whom I play in the same faction. Who says that we are defending bad actions, the Corsairs and Hessians are enemies, it is hard to get a meeting that will not end up with each side blasting the other.
I'm not defending gank or anything that resembles it, I am simply saying that without proof I'll continue to talk in favor of the people I play with on my RHA character. Perhaps if you want more RP in these Hessian-Corsair conflicts, then maybe the Corsairs should do their role in it as well, by trying harder I mean. One side cannot lead a two-side Role Play encounter.
Something I told my brother earlier in one of our many discussions about roleplay:
"Sometimes the only appropriate roleplay is to space the other guy."

Well, I know I don't know Corsair RP, but usually I think I meet medium RP standarts. Instead I get "oooohooohoh, corsair scum, i mean canniball *laughs*".

That's reason I prefer to avoid RHA.
This assumption so many people seem to share here that "the longer you Role-Play with someone, the better the quality of that Role-Play is." Kinda equivalent to, a student getting A+ for writing a 2 Pages essay of nonsense whilst the other student who wrote a half a page essay which had good quality in the particular subject being written upon, only receives a B- because he has simply written too little.
However the word cannibal is merely a way of a Hessian to insult Corsairs. Would it be "better Role-Play" if they called you a Cretard instead? You are merely playing with words.

IRP Hessians are unlikely even supposed to know about that fact.
Such insults cause my imagination to give me picture of 5 Legates / Ranseurs camping Malta / Crete and screaming how everyone is bad.
I don't really understand why won't we cover each other in strong insults then? You're afraid of rules? But it's RP!
EDIT: Also I was talking not about length of roleplay, but quality. I don't care if that's just "engaging corsair, die!!1" or some educational lesson about communism. Just something with more respect to player.

In Role-Play a Hessian could have heard a funny bar rumor about it.
Semantics.
You are sitting here complaining about semantics.
Calling out Hessians that they meta-game for the simple fact that they use a particular word as an insult is hilariously unnecessary and merely a method to try throw mud at a group with no proper justification.
Some people cannot handle the English language rather well, I know plenty of them who are in the RHA which have trouble and try to to their best. One line of Role-Play or having a tea-party with the Corsairs asking about the weather and how their economy is, well you can decide as an individual what you want to do.
Me? I think like this. I'm a Hessian. The largest threat to our welfare and survival is currently Corsairs due to the Omega-5 war. So I will throw some insults and try to bring my enemy's morale down and then I engage them. I don't want to sit and talk to them about their lives. It's their very lives I want to take!
You can call that bad Role-Play because I haven't sat down with you and written for 15 minutes. Well that's your opinion, but it's only an opinion. It's not a valid complaint.

If you started to feel insulted or treated too bad about the word "Cannibal" which corsars are labeled in sirius, I think it's time to have a break from corsairs most likely. And learn to seperate character from personality.

In conclusion: not my problem.
Qauntity doesn't mean better quality.
Unfortunately, 'cannibals' is used with rather OORP meaning and disrespect usually.
And damn, you're annoying, I didn't tell anything about qauntity.

It's my character treatment to who he thinks is primitive, underdeveloped, savage and so and so.
Judging people on assumptions is something you should avoid. I'm playing for corsairs for all my time in disco and you know it yourself. I have no problems with word cannibal or caveman or primitve or savage or barbarian or monkey. If you lack some sharp phrases to attack red hessians, it most possible your lack of sense about roleplay and factions. Not hessian one.
Of course maybe one name "Cannibal" is a bit bored, but it's how corsairs are labeled by most of their enemies. But we all know the truth as players (who are not braindead and actually are into rp) that corsairs are not the ones how they are called.
