Wtf is a duel in a GV? That's like two people holding a 45 to eachothers head and pulling the trigger. BFD.

Funny how when the time comes to put up or shut up you arent up for the moment.

you know, dueling with .45s would be kind of fun...doing the whole 10 paces and fire stuff.


ack-ack

Pass it on for me too BGB.

LOL Ack Ack, both bail over same area haha.  Better yet both climb to 30K bail next to each other then try to get each other ski diving.  Save a bullet each for the duel once you get on the ground hahaha.  Whos first.

Zazen, never does a plane in a 1 vs 2 or 1 vs 3 have the advantage!

I think that would vary on the situation.  If the lone plane is above the other two then the advantage lies with the lone plane as he can dictate the engagement.

If the situation has all three planes coalt, then the advantage could still swing towards the lone pilot if his plane is better suited for that particular engagement.  Examples could be like the already mentioned Spitfire vs. FW190 and Typhoon.  But if all the planes were equal or the other two planes included one that was equal or superior to the lone plane the advantage would be firmly on the side of the two plane team.

There are so many variables involved that it probably really depends on the situation at hand.

Ok, seven pages in...  JMJF let me just say one thing:

You can fly how you want to, drive what you want, do what you want, this is your $14.95...  But until you're able to hang in there for a while in a duel with some of the people you're getting ticked at, you aren't getting your money's worth.  

I really think you'd enjoy yourself in there, and, I think you'll find that if you go in there with a friendly, good attitude, EVERYONE will leave their rulers at home.

That goes for anyone who's against this whole DA Challenge thing.

You know what?  I've dueled probably 60-70% of the more vocal people (amongst others) in this thread.  Been crushed in most fights, held in there in some, won a few, and learned from them all.

The thing is - every single one of those people was the complete antithesis of what you all might expect in there.  They were complete gentlemen and completely helpful, and I'm pretty sure the other 40-30% would be as well.

You really don't "know" a person in this game until you've spent some one on one time in the DA with them.  There you'll find a pretty good indication of whether they're really an bellybutton or not.

Anyway, back to your purses, gentlemen (edited for Schatzi) and Ladies

[Vudak]

I would like to suggest an experiment:

January is coming up.  Starting on the 1st (after a few gallons of coffee and a cold shower to fix the night before, of course), fly for rank.  Take Morph's tips and use them, they work.  Ask high ranked people how to get a better rank and use their suggestions.  Try your very best at getting as good a low rank as you can.

Then, about the middle of the month, there is an event called King of the Hill (KOTH).  Fly in it (be sure to read the rules first).  Write down who participates in it, and, more importantly, who wins one round, two rounds, or the whole thing.  See how you do, and have a blast (this part is guaranteed).

After the event, look up the ranks of the people who've won at least one round.

I'd be willing to bet that many of their ranks will be substantially worse than yours.

It might give you a new perspective on things, or it might not, but it would be an interesting experiment if you're up for it.

S!

shhhhh!!!!  you're ruining the mystique!!

This wasn't about me being pumped over MY rank, or for that matter anyone elses.  I realize rank is not always the most legit way to judge someones ability.  It was about them saying that SHawk may be #1 but he sucks, my point was it takes some skill to get where he holds the positions for multiple months.  And the fact that they claim it to be NO FUN to fly that way etc.., makes it all that much more of a challenge to accomplish.  There plain and simple reasoning was "anyone can do it", in which I pointed out no they coulnd't.  Saying you could be overall #1 and being overall #1 are two different things.

Of which then they wanted to duel me LOL, like that would change my oppinion.  Of which case I agreed to duel under one of two terms.  Either they honor my dueling system that this thread was based on.  Since they challenged me pretty much implies that they are pretty confident that they are the better stick.  So what have they got to lose they have all of the advantages, so if I win pay for my next months account.  Or Option two Duel me in G.V.'s right afterwards.

But as you can see they only want to duel in manners they are confident, will be sure wins for them with no risk.  With exception to Skyrock who was willing to duel in G.V. In which I stated anytime.

It just seems that your dueling system would only have the effect of turning the whole duel into a measuring contest, which, once you spend some quality time in the DA, you will come to realize it really isn't by default.

Besides, dueling is part of the process by which one becomes better.  No one is going to pay you to do this.  Judging by the various people that wanted to duel you, you can rest assured that their lack of an offer to pay you is not because they are afraid of losing, no offense.

Now of course that could very well change with time, but not if you're going to demand financial reimbursement for getting into the DA and having some fun

In a few weeks, once I've got my darn computer problems solved, if you'd like to have some fun and knock each other around in the DA, your plane(s) of choice, I'd be happy to oblige.  But of course I won't pay you if you win

S!

[JMFJ]

rgr, I understand your point.  Do you understand mine?

The way you just asked me to go to DA seems like ya it could be fun, we go and have good time.  Now was morpheus offering the same?

There is no such thing as dueling in a GV ok? NO SUCH THING.

The notion of it, is just simply... Gay.
