Emerald-Meyer (Rogue Gunboat) Fled form combat in NY, then remained in system arguiing the toss on public channel.
I randomly met up with him/her in Cali. I broadcast on public channel "HELLO" and "DIE CRIMINAL", before engaging. I am liberty Navy in a cruiser.
I then get called an *******, and accused of cheating, again on public channel. Meyer logs off, Immediately afterwards another player with a variation on the meyer name logs on, and starts PM'ing me about a starflea complaining about me, and posting on a forum. Unless the original meyer is the worlds fastest typer, I would suspect they are the same person.
Have I broken any rules? In my opinion, if anyone has behaved questionably, it is Meyer.
Advice please.
edit: the accusation was that i didn;t say enough/make my intention clear in system channel before attacking.
If you took screen shots you can file a sanction report on him for insulting. This is a role playing server so a bit more RP might be wise before engaging a target what you did in the way of RP seems marginal at best just try and expand it a bit. Also with the chat macro's available you can preset phrases so that all you have to type in is /1, /2 and so on and hit enter. this is a very nice feature for those who like me type very slowly.
This is what we call Trial by Forum and it is not the best way. Also...saying Hello and DIE while in a cruiser will make people think less of you *cough*
This is being discussed in two forum threads, which is confusing. I posted here for clarification, meyer posted in LN faction feedback. I suggest all further discussion in continued in the feedback thread, and this thread be closed.
For reference, here is my last post in the other thread, in repsonse for a clarification of what happened.
Meyer fled from combat with a BHG in NY, and then remained in system arguing about a merc on public channel.
A short while later found meyer pirating a tradelane in cali. I acknowledged her presence, informed her I was oging to kill her as she was a pirate, and then opened fire. She returned fire, there was combat, she died.
She then came on public channel, called me an *******, and apprently ran off to tell her brother.
I have checked the rules, while I accept i may have been heavy handed in the cruiser against a GB, i do not think i have breached any of the PvP or general conduct rules.
I do object to being publicly insulted - i get enough of that in my real life job from idiots, i don't expect it in my leisure time.
I;m happy to draw a line under the whole thing, but if Meyer wants to press a complaint, i will repsond with screenshots of her innappropriate language and behaviour. I'll leave the ball in her court.
Insulting you is worth 14 days, however I have stated in a huge great Admin Notice that "Engaging Hostile" is not enough RP to start an engagement. I would also include any two word RP into that. If you haven't the time to type something out, no reason you shouldn't have in a cruiser, then when you have some quiet time use the /setmsg command to type out some chat macros to use in those instances.

Stuck in my own mis-adventures with this pilot in the other thread as well, for now though, I'm beat... it's sleepy-time.

As one of the less than godlike computer users I'd be happy to help Shok. Tis actually very simple type the following followed by the massage of your choice:
/setmsg 1 <message>
/setmsg 2 <message>
/setmsg 3 <meassage.
and so on and so forth up until message 9. Plenty of room to play with and it avoids us having to hit you with the Sanction Pike.

Oh yea ti's a good thing that. I only use it for announcing the trade embargo.. But I think i will definitely set up some other message.
For info, I;ve had emerald harassing me in pm chat, accusing me of being responsible for killing him when I;m no-where near him when he dies.
I;ve also noted that others have posted problems with his char in other threads.
I;ve played on thsi server for a long time, and never had any problems. I try to play fairly and honourably, and am eagerly looking forward to th next version. This whole sorry affair has left a bitter taste in my mouth.
Anyway, thanks for the advice.
I hope this topic can now be closed and abandoned.
