So far no one has objected to ships named Awfrigit and OFU.

How about players reading these forums and telling other players in game that a player is not to be trusted due to his/her Posts in Shrapnel Forums

Hehe, I love insulting people. Although is anyone ever objected to it I would stop doing it to them.

I also like doing ship names as a way of sending a message. LIke naming a ship "Insecticide" when plying the Xi'Chung.

Oh, I have nothing against that and wouldn't object to that...

I also have nothing against a good in-character insult or some form a jest/banter/or whatever...

But quite frankly, when a player starts to send "F*** you [name]!" Messages by what ever means, the fun stops for me.

That's absolutely ridiculous .
I guess some people don't get the idea of roleplaying or in-character Messages. Surely Posts on this board have nothing to do with in-game diplomacy.

Another thing is sometimes players that carry grudges from one game to another. While it is perfectly understandable, they should really keep them to themselves and/or avoid them as much as possible (yeah, I know that can be hard...). But by no means can they use it as argument: "Hey, (Player A) killed me in game (X). Therefore my attack on him is a just cause."
Or even worse is 'crosstrading'. Something like: If you give me planet A in game X, I'll give you tech B in game Y...[/rant off]

Oh yeah. That's bad. I always aim my insults at the empire, not at the player. Gotta keep it in character.
