actually I did not say, "I NEVA PAY U DAMN PIRATES U SUX VPR IS GREATEST I GETZ REEL G00D 1 DAY AN KILLZ U!!!11"

I reported you in the police channel (or whatever they call it) and then laughed stating why would I pay 1 million CR when I only lost 3000 cr.

You happen to be in the channel and went on a huge rant how you would of lowered it to 30,000 which my reply was that is still overpriced. I was going off this thread here where pirates claim to make profitable settlements which apparently is not the case.

Was about write out all other inaccuracies, but just not worth my time.

to those wishing to get on list its pretty easy. Just don't cry when you die and when they Pm you point out the price was way higher then what it cost to come back alive that just really makes them mad.

anyways interesting first 3 days in the game. Congratulations you beat me GF ;)

Can we please start getting the amount requested right? 100k <<< 1,000,000

Not the same issue, but related and funny:



Anyway, if the time it took you to fly to Grey, the money to replace your cargo and ship, etc. don't all add up to 15-20k, then yes, you're going to die. Call it unreasonable if you will, but that's life.

Keep in mind that not paying, particularly as a noob, is not necessarily going to land you on anyone's KOS list. Loudly declaring that you never want to be offered the privilege of buying survival, however, will.

I never want to be offered the privilege of buying survival because I don't want to have to have the privilege of being pirated in the first place. Is that still bad?

Btw, funny cartoon... and totally true.

Even though I, CrazySpence tease pirates to no end of my joy, My other character has paid pirates before

and they said kill your engines or die, I killed me engines and didnt die. so I doubt you were blown up 3 seconds after stopping. when you stop they usually expect money, or rockets.

then other me paid them and went on my way. So the system works (for my other char). Just not for CrazySpence!

May as well put me on there, on the odd chance you DO see me in game, I've never paid pirates and could use the combat practice seeing as I am quite out of it. Last group of pirates I fought were the sector bots (namely Furball) around sector 9

Saul Al-Rakoun has left the sector.
[Fri Nov 20 20:46:54 2009] You are entering Latos H-2
Saul Al-Rakoun has entered the sector, but is out of range.
Saul Al-Rakoun: Ragnarok- 37% hull, 1856m away.
I:Neutral S:Neutral U:Admire L:Dislike
[Fri Nov 20 20:47:08 2009] ->Saul Al-Rakoun: The Void awaits.
[Fri Nov 20 20:47:13 2009] <Trakus Shar> Poor choice
[Fri Nov 20 20:47:52 2009] Trakus Shar destroyed Saul Al-Rakoun
Saul Al-Rakoun has left the sector.
Atice has entered the sector, but is out of range.
zenriderx has entered the sector, but is out of range.
[Fri Nov 20 20:48:22 2009] [100] <Trakus Shar> See, if you'd stayed in UIT space, Saul, I'd have been less likely to kill you
[Fri Nov 20 20:48:29 2009] [100] <Saul Al-Rakoun> Eat a dick.

This sort of thing makes the low pay and the incompetent anti-rats all worthwhile.

Just a quote from the vipers.
"Vipers do not need to spend every minute of their in-game time patrolling, escorting, and chasing pirates. Those are things that we enjoy doing and that is why we are in this guild. However, it is not our job. We offer our services freely when we are willing and available, but we are in no way obligated to do these things when we are otherwise occupied or when we do not want to"

100k is not <<< 1M... it's only 10 times as much. 103, now that's a power of 10 to recognize!

Oh, and it seems peytros is reading this thread. Or perhaps he attacks people like some dogs hump some legs.

Compulsively.

what? i just shoot people
Nov 23, 2009 Touriaus link
Wait, so if one of these people paid you, you would not accept it and give them their money back? :P
Nov 23, 2009 ladron link
If one of those people paid, I would accept the payment and not shoot them, provided that they paid the correct price. I would honor that payment for 20 minutes or until they left the sector, whichever occurred first. If I attack a ship without asking for a passage fee first, the price is assumed to be 1 million. However, if I attack a ship without asking for payment, there's a very small change that the pilot would have time to pay between the time I open fire and the time he wakes up in a cloning vat somewhere.

This is not to be interpreted as an official policy, but only my own.

This list is for information purposes only; it's not binding on anyone, obviously. That being said, yes, I'd take the kill and return the credits. I could just consider the list fair warning and keep the fool's money, but I probably wouldn't--though I'm not flying out of my way to return it, either.

I posted a way for people on here to get off the "KOS because you're an obnoxious little bitch who doesn't think paying is ever a good deal" list: publicly recant your former ways here. Thereafter, you get a chance in game: doesn't matter whether you care about your ship/cargo that first time you're caught after asking to be taken off the list or not, you'd best play the game if you don't want to wind up on here with an asterisk.

What I will not tolerate under any circumstances is someone wanting to thumb their nose at RP the 99% of the time that they don't care about the time/money/cargo/special rig/mission that they have tied up in their ship... but who wants to be allowed to pay that 1% of the time it does matter to them. You can either pay all the time, or you can die all the time.

LOL that is so great XD You, a pirate...would REFUND them :P This makes me laugh so hard.

But really, you're weird.
Nov 24, 2009 Dr. Lecter link
It's about long-term pirate goals, Mecha. I understand you never thought much further ahead than how you could choke your next rail shot, though, so I'm cutting you some slack here.
Nov 24, 2009 Impavid link
Everyone on this list (and like, half of everyone else in the game) lives and dies by my whim. Paying definitely sways the odds in your favor, but if you screw around, you're getting smote.
Nov 24, 2009 Touriaus link
Haha lecter, I do enjoy your... "wit" :P

You could say, that me choking my next rail shot is about the same as your verbal sniping at me :P

And only stupid people are afraid of your dementia, imp.
Nov 24, 2009 Impavid link
Lotta stupid people out there...
Nov 24, 2009 Touriaus link
There certainly is
Nov 25, 2009 Dr. Lecter link
"There certainly *are*," dumbass.

I found the perfect gift for Lecter this Christmas (and PC, and Leebs, and.... well maybe I'll just buy it for the forums)...
