DA manhood challenges
« on: January 23, 2008, 05:47:05 PM »
We've all witnessed it, a well known player crying like a child about how they were killed by some "noob twit" or "spit dweeb."  What soon follows is a challenge to go to the DA to show who is really "better."  What I'm wondering is do the two even relate.  In the MA you have a total free for all where anything can and does happen while the DA is this nice controlled environment where duelers go at it in the same plane and altitude 1v1.  Even if the person crying dweeb wins, what have they proven?  The reason they most likely got killed in the MA in the first place is because they put themselves in the position to get killed, whether it be flying into an obvious 3v1 or setting themselves up to get bounced.  I'm not saying good 1v1 ACM isn't something useful, of course it can frequently nab kills.  I guess what I'm trying to get at is does going to the DA really resolve an MA issue where the whole point is almost to fight as unfair as possible.  I mean at the end of the day what matters, your ability to win in the DA or the common sense to win in the MA.  Keep in mind I don't take any of this very serious, just making an observation of the way others act.

When someone challenges someone to the DA over a main arena event (which by it's very nature is about the maturity level of a schoolyard hair-pulling fight) why would you think that there is even a possibility that it would actually resolve anything in the first place?

Yeah the only reason those people start in with wanting to go fight in the DA after getting killed in the MA isn't to learn or anything, it's basically them wanting to make sure that other person knows it was a fluke and their better then them, it's all about their ego's.

It's all about picking a fight they can win, in an attempt to save face after saying or doing something stupid, or just simply getting shot down. It's a game- why some can't just shut up and die quietly like everyone else (rather, like everyone else usually does), I'll never understand.

The flipcoin is that any of those good players could fly the best planes in the most unfair way possible, and then what would you have?  You think the game is discouraging and lacking in ACM now?  Wait till there's nothing left to "fights" but one snapshot before anyone below good/very good goes right back to the tower.

Those good players just want what they deserve.. A win or at least a good fight before being blown to bits, not some clueless dolt taking a shot when the whole freakin point to the game is taking place for just 30sec-3min at the most.  That's all it takes.

There's going to the DA and being challenged to the DA.  Two different things and two different reasons for going.

Going there of your own volition is to learn something.  On the whole that's just what you'll do.  Stuff that will without doubt come in very handy in the MA.  You won't learn any SA with a 1v1 duel which is vital in the MA so pop along to the TA or just stick with it in the MA.  Going to the DA to learn is the only reason to go.  

Being challenged to DA is a totally different matter.  You probably won't learn anything about maneuvers because your to angry and to eager to teach the guy a lesson.  Your ego will be assuaged or crushed depending on the outcome.  It's just bruised ego's.  School yard stuff.

I've been challenged to the DA countless times and been there about 8 times in the 6 years I've been here.  What did it prove? ....absolutely nothing.  Did these guys learn their lesson ?..... not by a long shot.  What did I learn from my challenged DA experiences?  I learnt I was stupid enough to spend even more time with a complete and utter tw@.  Even after you clean their clocks they still act and behave like a complete and utter tw@.  You ain't ever going to change them by winning a duel.  They'll just be mouthy tw@'s to some other guy.

  I'm not saying good 1v1 ACM isn't something useful, of course it can frequently nab kills.


common sense to win in the MA.




First, the "reason" one would fly into an obvious 1 vs 3 is simple.....it's impossible to get you balless bastiges to fight unless you have at least a 3 to 1 advantage.

Second, your view of acm is completely out of touch with what this game is actually based upon..............."something useful"????  Hell, it is everything!

Third, "common sense" as you put it, is the reason the MA is full of HOing, running, fight avoiding panzies!  People who enjoy the game for what it was created for feel no "win" or accomplishment in flying 1/4 sector in an all green darbar to jump the one red fella fighting 5 greens already!

Actually, I went into the DA last week with Badcell.   He was feeling frisky and probably expected me to be pissed at him.   I wasn't and told him some of the things he was doing wrong.   I believe he was both shocked and thankful.

Anytime I end up going 1v1 we come out of it on better terms win or lose, people treat each other better 1v1 I've found. Although challenging someone 1v1 is a bit childish even tho I've done it myself think its blind rage at the time that prompts it lol
