True enough. My first instinct was to just blow the Harvester up due to their history within Liberty (constant acts of war, piracy, murder etc etc) but I figured I would have a bit of interaction with the fellow since they were trying to start over, or so they claimed.
But the point of the thread is more about being mindful that the manner in which you're playing, arrogantly demanding that other players ignore what's in front of their eyes so that you can satisfy one's own desire to not be held to reasonable standards (holding commodities which can be clearly seen and having others react to them) and attempting to plant a seed which might lead to others keeping the same in mind.
I carry a slave around. But don't worry, he's my Roleplay slave. Your SCIENCE cannot detect the slave collar it wears and the ball'n'chains he's got. Not metal-ish, explosive-ish and technological-ish enough.
If you dont't tell us what the thing in his hold was... its kinda hard to tell who was being a jerk here.
If someone has 5k of cardamine in his hold nad he says "you can't see it because I have special smuggling gear" he is the jerk.
If someone has 3 units of cardamine and he says its three doses for personal use and you say "no its not three doses its 3 tons" then you are being the jerk.
If someone has 4100 slaves in his luxury liner and says " they are vip passengers not slaves and you cant prove me wrong in RP" he is being a jerk.
If he has 2 slaves among 4098 other passengeners and says they are the opressed husband of a housedragon wife and the geisha of a kusari official and you say "no they arent they are slaves with slave colars who are clapped in chains in your hold and thats why Ill blow up your ship now" then you are being the jerk.
If someone has a wilde iff and wilde id and nomad weapons and says "you cant know Im a wilde", then he is a jerk.
If someone has one nomad remains in his hold and he says he just cut them out of his son's english teachers's chest and was bringing them to the insinierator and you say "no! you are a nomad smuggler! gimme 2 mil fine or die" then you are being a jerk.
If he gets a pvp or cash advantage from the cargo and pretends its something different to slip by you, blow him up.
If you are going to hastle someone and make a thread over an insignificant amount of RP cargo which has no other function than what he wants it to be in RP, blow yourself up.
The person in question was me, on my Harvester, Harvester_101. Dusty, you're an established member of the community. I expected better from you. This was not at all what I was attempting to say. What I was ATTEMPTING TO SAY is that the nomads and hunter pilots within in my hold were things I forgot to drop and destroy. As a harvester, we harvest things. Do you think we do it for fun? For our health? Well, in a way, we do.
We harvest things, and process them into liquified biomass to fuel the ship. The nomads and hunter pilots had been processed. Liquified. They no longer existed. The fact that you could see them was simply due to me failing to drop and destroy them. It's called, "I just came from Z21 and am afraid of lolwuts, which is why I was hurrying away from such an area, I was a bit too nervous because of all the lolcaps to remember to do something as trivial as that, which can be solved with a little bit of RP."
I said in local chat that I was going to type to you and explain what I meant, but no. LOL I HAZ FOUR CODIES, NO SHIELDZ. LOL I HAZ MINI RAZOR, NO HULL. YOU IZ PEW PEW'D. The fact is that they no longer existed in solid form. It's not just "my RP" that you couldn't see them anymore, it's common sense that as a Harvester, I harvest and process things. Thus, they no longer existed. Please try paying attention next time. Now I know it's not just lolcaps I have to worry about, but lolexadmins who think they can get away with anything because people know their name.
This has been an incoherent rant brought to you by Kaiwren. Remember, a middle finger from me means that you suck!
