Official Do Not Hail List: Accept No Payment From These Traders

My thinking on this list here: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/1/22167#274341

Pirates, please feel free to add your picks below; Traders listed here, feel free to explain how something is factually incorrect. Rants and off-topic posts, however, will be entirely ignored. If you'd like to add yourself as a "I NEVER PAY!" type, and save us the trouble of hailing you in the first place, again feel free.

Let's try and name the trader, rate requested, and factors affecting the reasonableness of the rate (ship type, location, etc.); a trader's openly declaring, as a general matter, that "I NEVA PAY!" will also be enough to earn a place on the list.

If you're on this list and you find one day that you'd like to be able to purchase your survival when it matters to you, post your public renouncement of your former ways here. Assuming you haven't abused the privilege before, we'll give you one chance to pay next time you're caught. Failure to take advantage of that privilege will surely be posted here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Sural Argonus: previously allowed to pay 500k to [CHRN] while smuggling weapons in Grey, he refused a demand for 50k for his mining moth in Dau, and has clearly stated that he doesn't care about paying pirates any more.

Geecoo: refused an offer of 100k for his empty XC in Azek, and after having his ship shot down to 3% provided a long lecture about how unimportant the credits involved in high repair costs were.

Pa Kettle: routinely lectures on how he doesn't care if pirates kill him because he's rich and credits don't mean anything; refused 75k demands for several Behemoth Heavy Miners in Azek.

Nascmi: another of the "I'm morally opposed to ever paying pirates" crowd, guildmate of Sural Argonus.

Ecka Estenk: Commander of [TGFT] and well-known pirate denier.

Crazy Spence: seen in Odia, Sedina, and Latos in a Taur III, refused to pay 50k.

Mecha Touriaus: publicly denies -- in a very effeminate voice -- any interest in ever being allowed to pay. Make him eat those words.

LeberMac: publicly denies any interest in ever being allowed to pay. Make him eat those words.

Roda Slane: publicly denies any interest in ever being allowed to pay, though nobody's sure when he was last even in a trade ship.

serp: Refused to pay 100,000 for a very heavy behemoth he was having trouble launching in Latos. After his 120 cu of Locust Swarms were liberated, he stated that he would rather die than pay and continued to whine about it for a little while, generally making a fool of himself.

ccasper: Repeatedly refused to pay 50,000 for a Centaur full of Denic Ore in Odia. Opted instead to fire swarms every which way into empty space before dying and whine loudly after dying.

zephar: Repeatedly refused to pay and asserted that he'd never pay, pirates are stupid, one day he'll "build up" and kill us all. The standard whine.

Make sure you add me to the list, Doc.

If you can actually catch me mining or trading, I deserve to be punished anyway.
Oct 26, 2009 ladron link
Thanks Doc. I'll add my own selections as necessary.
Oct 26, 2009 Dr. Lecter link
I'll try and keep the first post updated as a master list; it would be appreciated if those of you who posted earlier in an off-topic manner could remove your posts and save me the trouble of having them cleaned up.
