Hunter.Micheals and Silas.Lancaster have been sanctioned for:
Quote:6.1 Every player must have an ID equipped on his or her ship. Players under level 40 might use Civilian IDs
(basic IDs sold on every station), characters who reach level 40 must choose an NPC faction to ally and get
the ID of this faction, or get a generic ID.
All ship and ID choices must be in accordance with current parameters at all times.
6.2 Out of Roleplay (OORP):
In-game tag seen before the name must match the ID as closely as possible. It is not allowed to have the
tag not match ID category. For example, it is prohibited to have 'Police' tag and 'Pirate' ID.
Equipment used must match tag and ID as closely as possible. For example, it is not allowed for Corsairs to
use Outcast ships and guns.
All characters using mismatched ID/Ship/Weapon combinations must possess either an Admin granted
Terrorist ID or a Special Operative ID.
All reputations should be in accordance with the faction followed, all enemies must be red, at least during
the course of a player - player combat.
This is the Recruit ID parameters, both of which you gentlemen were flying with ...
Quote:Recruit ID
Pilot carrying this ID is a new Recruit for a faction, who:
* Can dock with a base to perform missions to earn the base owner's faction affiliation
* Cannot be attacked by anyone if the Recruit is under level 30, unless the Recruit attacks first or is flashing a faction tag/affiliation
* Can be attacked or pirated if over level 30
* Can be attacked regardless of level if flashing an NPC faction tag/affiliation. Roleplay PvP rules apply. * Cannot attack anyone except in self-defense
* Cannot trade, smuggle or escort traders or smugglers
* Cannot fulfill bounty contracts
* Cannot demand credits or cargo from anyone
This ID may not be used on any ship that is flashing an NPC faction tag/affiliation. As soon as a maximum reputation with any faction is achieved, this ID must be exchanged for a faction ID.
This ID may be used on ships over level 40, but exists only for the purpose of allowing players to set up their ship quickly and efficiently. Abuse of this ID will earn severe Administrative sanctions, possibly including character deletion.
Allowed ships: Fighters, Bombers, Freighters
Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime.
And swapping to Military IDs after the fact don't wash either, especially the Corsair tagged Titan.
The Firefly is not allowed on the Recruit ID at all.
And that's without mentioning pirating while completely neutral to the local law, and having the cheek to
complain someone else was out of roleplay ...
Fined all credits and guns, placed in Bastille till you post here. Sanction notes for your viewing pleasure
have been placed in your holds.
Honourable mentions go to Vyse.Vorlik and Vlad_Stukov ... Warning notes in your holds, choose your
friends a little more carefully in future please.

I must note here that we did not swap IDs at all, and Hunter.Micheals should have enough Corsair reputation to be hostile. I had just created the Silas.Lancaster character and didn't want to be without ID (Thus buying Recruit since I have not the slightest clue where to get a Smuggler ID fitting with my position in roleplay), even though I was required to be alongside my groupmates during the fight.
The player in question, RepEx etc. etc., refused to halt when commanded to by our crew, and even refused to roleplay out his pirating. He simply ignored our warnings and when we attempted to fire on him ran away, returning shortly after and expecting something different. He came into the system with us and began taunting us IC and OOC in system chat, essentially being a completely OOC dick to our group and not RPing whatsoever. We warned him that he shouldn't return, because he was acting like an arse and essentially ruining the fun we were having that night, even breaking RP rules apparently by returning to the scene of combat he fled.
When he came back to the system on multiple occasions, still taunting as we tried to ignore him and RP, we got fed up and attacked him. We followed him through the jumpgates where he docked, undocked, docked, undocked, and redocked again. As far as I knew we were being fired upon, with beams heading towards us (Towards Vlad, I suppose now), and I and Hunter.Micheals ran as fast as we could once Vlad_Stukov's ship was destroyed by some sort of particle beam weapon.
My character is RP'ly a smuggler, who should have a Smuggler ID if he hadn't been created a half hour before the incident in question or had I known where to get one since the wiki doesn't let on to its secrets, and he has a deal with this group of Corsairs to transport their loot.
I admit to being at fault with the ID, but I didn't want to go ID-less. We didn't switch to military IDs, and we RPed everything out to the best of our abilities while the RepEx player ignored us and refused to reply to our notices as we tried to pirate him.
TL;DR: I feel that while there is a burden of guilt resting squarely on my shoulders for my newbie-ness and anger at the other player, the awful roleplayer from RepEx also deserves punishment for his powertrading of a route spanning a supposed trade embargo and his ignoring of our warnings and blatant unwillingness to roleplay at all on a server devoted to roleplay.
You both had recruit IDs mounted at the time, and now you both have Military IDs ... How is that not
swapping them ? The Recruit ID is seriously limited in it's use, you should not have had one at all on
the Firefly, and the Titan is tagged Corsair, so why did that have one as well ?
Basically, you should have not been in the position to be RPing with the other player, or engaging him
either, as the ID parameters are pretty clear. Both of you had no right to shoot at anyone.

I'm ooRP for trying to escape pirates? Please explain that sir.
And I did not come back to the system you were pirating in, you 4 followed me to New Berlin. I never shot at you, the NPCs ripped your friends apart. I deliberatly misspelled your names to insult you in-character.
Furthermore, I did not undock, dock, undock, dock... with a Jumpgate. I moved from Omega 3 to O7 to Stuttgart to New Berlin with Vlad following me.
And finally, what embargo did I cross? I went from Bretonia to Rheinland, a perfectly legitiment route for a RHEINLAND company and perfectly withing the role that I play. I made 1 leg, Cambridge -> NB. How is that in any way shape or form powertrading?
Edit:
When Vlad was chasing me I kept asking what I did, trying to convince him I meant no harm, ect ect. I ask, what do you consider that? Because that was my in character comments. He responded with "you didn't pay, you die". Fine, I can live with that (to a degree) as it is within the role of a killer pirate. I just wont let him catch up to me.
As far as I am concerned I made 1 ooRP comment during the entire interaction. That is when I asked you to not use the recruit ID and to be hostile to the local law. You called me an ooRP pussy.

I had a Recruit ID and still have a Recruit ID equipped. Neither of us have ever owned more than the IDs which we wore at the time. Mine Recruit and his Corsair. I just checked my inventory.
Never mind it, anyway. I know this is over, and I'm unwilling to fight you about it knowing that I have no authority or reputation with which to do so.
To be honest, I'm not going to pirate any more. It's too much of a hassle when people keep refusing us or just complain. It's way more fun to go on my trader and my Ageira ships, who are completely lawful, and RP well with people I can trust. It's been the only place I've had fun on the server and I'll return to it. Pirating just isn't fun for me.
Well the screens show recruit IDs, and the software shows military, on both of them. Possibly a bug, won't be
the first, and I guess not the last either.
The recruit ID is the major problem though, and you were both using them, that is unacceptable. Nothing to
do with pirating. The vast majority of players here have little problem with setting ships up within the rules,
and then having fun.
