If Huckster is who I think they are, that is the ONLY way they fight in a duel.

If they are not who I am thinking of, then my apologies to huckster.

(but going by batfinks post, I am pretty sure I am correct)

(now you point out where in the OP it says he DIDN'T do what I said he did)

I don't need to, it's not currently part of the equation.  You are conveniently trying to add factors to it.  No.

 Lute is still correct even if off the point.Maybe not about this encounter but yes about a certain type of 'dueler' who uses every trick to gain an edge to start with. Adversely no one has a right to denounce another flying style untill they can at least defeat it with their own. Stranger still, when you can beat it you suddenly lose the urge to denounce it.  :)

That's all that I'm discussing, as that is what the topic is about.

If you engage into a low turn fight with 2 Bnzers around, that is a poor SA decision.  :)

If you fail to engage a con because others are in the area then you will likely spend 95% of your flying time running away.

 How true!(Image removed from quote.)
Scot, your right on that. I think what happend here is, one side believes that they were using all the advantages that they can use to win a fight, the other side says that I lost fair and square. We can never know, even with a film, if he did or he didn't. We can only judge by someones charecter, in a fight. Its probably true that he came in with way more E than me, but I won't try and make that official. For all I know, I beat. Simple.

It's really sad that you have no proof that this person did do what Lute described but you sure don't let it stop you from implying the other player was cheating in your duel.  Personally, I think your attitude says just as much about the "current MA mentality" than the player you're posting about.

I guess you did not see my point. Your referring to saying that I think he is cheating, which seems to be far from the truth. What I said, he may or may not have cheated, but with no film to be shown, why should I think that he is cheating. For all I know he beat me fair and square. Simple.
That's exactly what I said, maybe you should read with a little more interpretation.

Yep, the more I think about it, the more you fit the "MA mentality" you whine about.

Most notable was his use of optimum ratio sustained flat turns to escape a bad situtaion and win it back.
sounds like one of the badboy personalities.  If it was, be careful to watch him stashing E on climbout then diving to agreed alt.

I thought of that too, but BadBoy would have cause a fight and for sure would have come after me after he asked for a fight and I ignored him.  The normal BadBoy procedure at that point would be to come vulch me.  I vote for Mustard  :rofl

Oh, and Bosco provides some of the best and fair fights in the DA.  I would take his word over some shade account any day
