...Allow me to illustrate the depths to which these role players will sink.
Imperial Guardians is an industrial corp chartered in Abudban, Heimatar region, Minmatar space. Our name goes back to our founders, also Imperial Guardians, in Earth and Beyond. Thus, the lineage of our corp is older than that of the Amarr 'Emperor' [if and when the Amarr polity again has an Emperor]....
((I really hate having to do this and I'd appreciate it if this could be moved to the appropriate OOC forum. I have noticed increased ill will towards the role play community in game and a lot of what is said there is echoed in this post. Firstly I think you need to draw a line between the real world and the game world. Earth & Beyond does not exist in the game world and in the game world there has been an Amarrian empire for thousands of years. Blurring the lines between fantasy and reality like this is unhealthy.))

...Other non-aligned corporations might want to take notice that you could be attacked by either or both the Minmatar and Amarr roleplayers in Bleak Lands for any or no real reason. Which sure looks like piracy to me...
((Anyone may be attacked by anyone in Eve. You are not required to role play but it would be nice if the choice to be a roleplayer was at least respected.
I don't know why VF attacked you but I'm sure they had a reason. Stormriders probably went to war with you because you were caught carrying slaves or just for being Amarrian. They will have to clarify though, I'm just guessing based on their stated mandate. If a group of people choose to role play pirates then they can have piracy as a reason to war dec, it's perfectly valid.
If a bunch of guys who have no interest in role play choose to just war dec at random thats fine. The role players amongst us just write it off as pirates / mercs / crazies and get on with shooting them. Everyone is happy.
Roleplayers simply play within the background story of the game and act as their characters would act if they lived in that world. For some of us the stories that are generated from all that are more important than ISK. We only seek to enhance the game, not to take anything away from it. If you want no part of role play we can respect that and that is all we expect in return. Mutual respect.
The fact is nobody needs a reason to war dec anyone. They just pony up the ISK and start shooting. Reasons just make it more interesting.))
