Pretty much every faction in the game has a legitimate reason for posting their kills publicly or privately.

Pirates would do it to show off and intimidate people.

Police/Military pilots would do it as a necessity when filing combat reports and whatnot.

Mercenaries and bounty hunters would do it because... It's what they do, and if they're looking for a job, they'd want people to know they can deliver.


Basically, everyone would want either their own people, or everyone else, to know they'd killed something for some reason, so it's completely logical that they would do it.

So they would communicate ffs. That's fine. Can you give me an example of what good does "encrypted" blue message galleries delivers to roleplay forum meant to be communication place? Storing blue messages is possible on google document.

At this point, you're just complaining about a harmless act which can have valid points, and which, aside from not fitting your paradigm of what is right and proper, does you no ill. The solution to your woes would seem to be to ignore it and move on. If they want to do it, let them, no?

So your complaint is now about only the ones that are encrypted so that members of a certain group can see them, correct?

I could see a pirate pulling out a data pad that has one of these transmission stored on it, using it as to intimidate another pirate.

I could see a mercenary pulling it out to present to a potential employer.

Perhaps they are encrypted because they don't want certain parties privy to their on goings right now?

Right. Mhm. So are they communication channels then?

I don't think it is a proper place to show off for ooRP reasons. Have you understood thread's topic? Since it's second page where some of you are putting examples of inRP acts while topic is about ooRP.

No, we understand it. You think it is in the wrong section of the forums. Judging by the fact that an admin or moderator hasn't moved them. They either think they are fine where they are, don't care, or haven't seen them.

Did this subject really warrant a thread though?

Why not? Isn't civil discussions better than a hunt for blue message. First of these are still more rare than second one. Sadly.

I never had my men gloat about.

Matter of fact, I intend to turn my own MD into a chatlog archive rather than a wad of chaotic clusters of bbcode and literature.

And if it's against RP, then too bad for the RP.
