Narrative:

My plane was parked at gate xx in cvg. After pushback I turned sbound on taxiway F. At this time taxiway F was clear of any airplanes. The only airplane in sight was aircraft Y facing east and stopped west of the yellow dashed line by 3F. I then taxied my airplane toward 3F. Thinking that aircraft Y was giving way because he was already stopped and had no lights on; I stopped my airplane short of taxiway J. At this time the 2 airplanes were still and the nose of the aircraft Y was at my 4 O'clock position. We then switched to cvg ground to hear the end of a transmission from aircraft Y; stating that they 'were now #2.' the ground controller amended his clearance but at the same time the aircraft Y airplane started to taxi between my airplane and the grass band; forcing his way toward taxiway J; and then calling ground to state that they were '#1 now.' during the maneuver my airplane stayed still and my first officer was worryingly monitoring the constantly decreasing distance between our 2 airframes. I do not know if the aircraft Y pilot group is aware of the taxiway movement directive; nor of the light usage while an airplane is taxiing; but this occurrence that endangered the safety of both our airplanes looked to me as an act of piracy.

Title: CRJ-200 FLT CREW HAS AN ENCOUNTER WITH ANOTHER ACFT IN THE RAMP AREA AT CVG.

Narrative: MY PLANE WAS PARKED AT GATE XX IN CVG. AFTER PUSHBACK I TURNED SBOUND ON TXWY F. AT THIS TIME TXWY F WAS CLR OF ANY AIRPLANES. THE ONLY AIRPLANE IN SIGHT WAS ACFT Y FACING E AND STOPPED W OF THE YELLOW DASHED LINE BY 3F. I THEN TAXIED MY AIRPLANE TOWARD 3F. THINKING THAT ACFT Y WAS GIVING WAY BECAUSE HE WAS ALREADY STOPPED AND HAD NO LIGHTS ON; I STOPPED MY AIRPLANE SHORT OF TXWY J. AT THIS TIME THE 2 AIRPLANES WERE STILL AND THE NOSE OF THE ACFT Y WAS AT MY 4 O'CLOCK POS. WE THEN SWITCHED TO CVG GND TO HEAR THE END OF A XMISSION FROM ACFT Y; STATING THAT THEY 'WERE NOW #2.' THE GND CTLR AMENDED HIS CLRNC BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE ACFT Y AIRPLANE STARTED TO TAXI BTWN MY AIRPLANE AND THE GRASS BAND; FORCING HIS WAY TOWARD TXWY J; AND THEN CALLING GND TO STATE THAT THEY WERE '#1 NOW.' DURING THE MANEUVER MY AIRPLANE STAYED STILL AND MY FO WAS WORRYINGLY MONITORING THE CONSTANTLY DECREASING DISTANCE BTWN OUR 2 AIRFRAMES. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ACFT Y PLT GROUP IS AWARE OF THE TXWY MOVEMENT DIRECTIVE; NOR OF THE LIGHT USAGE WHILE AN AIRPLANE IS TAXIING; BUT THIS OCCURRENCE THAT ENDANGERED THE SAFETY OF BOTH OUR AIRPLANES LOOKED TO ME AS AN ACT OF PIRACY.
