The Code would like to anounce we have a new revenue stream

Stop everything!

Essentially, we took a trader hostage and ransomed him for ten million with EIC. Or tried.

Now before you start penning your redfaced missives along the lines of 'This is why I play solo', although most of you won't read as far as this, this was all rp and entirely consensual by all parts, including the poor kidnappee.

Also, because I may as well say it now; We're not C.O.D.E from EVE.

That is all. Carry on.

PS: We also definitely didn't try to Assassinate the Emperor. Oh, no, we'd never do anything like that. No, sir!

This should go in the roleplaying section.

Anopheles · Apr 28, 2015

Nah, it is the death of threads in there and we'd like to share with more than 2 people.

BTW, the player was compensated for his loss of ship and given a Free Travel Pass.

Yeah, but that said, half the first general discussion page should probably go there.

No, half the first general discussion page should go straight into Fan Fiction

@Anopheles - Well played on the hostage taking.

Yes, yes more of this.

Oh well, i suppose everybody has their fun in different ways. Not my personal cup of tea but if it floats your boat...

khaitom · Apr 28, 2015

Well that was shocking. I didn't realise the roleplaying section was like an unloved episode of the twighlight zone. If the mods are going to listen to things people say then I'd better be blinkin' careful what I wish for.

Why, with so many people rolelaying is this area so... quiet?

because they won't listen and put the thread up near the discussion pages.
