Shane I've honestly never dueled anybody before that makes excuses like you. It's not even fun. Every kill I earned on you, you explained to me why it was invalid. I love a challenge and when I fight good enough to beat a vet like you, you just take it away from me. Boy that's fun. Or if I take a questionable shot in your eyes, you have to one up me in the next fight and take a blatantly invalid shot to *prove a point*. Or if I put your plane on fire and disengage, you have to one up me by oil leaking my plane and disengaging to *prove a point*. Or if I rope you in the middle of a fight, next fight you have to come blazing in your LA7 at 430 and just rocket man up at the engagement to rope me to *prove a point*. I've never dueled anyone so spiteful and so full of himself. You are a great stick, it'd just be nice if you showed some more class and actually made it a friendly duel set. Ever heard of biting your tongue and just saying nice kill? I'd say the best pilots I've fought against besides you are Dedalos, Texture, and BatfinkV, and all 3 of those guys are very friendly and will never grumble and stick it to me. When I earn a kill on them, they are very gracious. I like friendly duels. It's a great way to get to know someone and I've met some real friends that way. There's no point to duel someone if it's going to be like this. Probably won't duel you again Shane, which is a shame because you are such a good stick and I get so much out of it. It's just not worth it.
Can't speak for Texture, but bat and ded would probably hold that shot working for a cleaner kill, especially after the first several times it was remarked on and why it was being done. But no... you want to grab some glory by taking me on in *my* ride vs a ride you were "just starting to learn." All I see you being is a one-trick pony. Not seeing you learn anything.
Let's see... u flamed me then chose to disenage.... i smoke you in return and ask if should let your engine smoke out? I did reverse, tho, right? You rope me - no biggie, so I make full use of the LA7's potential and do the same to you. And you call me spiteful for *returning* the favor? Excuse me while I go reset my irony meter.
And you have the gall to whine about some perceived HO after a clean merge.. I never implicitly agreed to anything, whatsoever beyond the normal rules. Did we both hold some shots? Sure... Did you take as many questionable vs me as I did vs you? Probably.
All I see you doing here now is trying to show you somehow owned me, even tho I explicitily told you after the first few those were gimmes to you. You chose to take that shot repeatedly. <shrug, i've already stated, again repeatedly, that they're on me for giving them to you. I said that in-game and here numerous times. I never said anything negative about you taking them. What part of "I gave you those shots - my bad for expecting a lilttle more of you" are you having problems with?
Why are you persisting in this? The others weren't there or party to what all occurred that night. This should have remained bewteen the two of us, but you wanted to make it public... and I *thought* this thread was only to get a "general consensus" on the shot?
Looks like you lied to me. You've just lost any respect I had for you.
<mutter, final edit> I believe over the course of the evening you received quite a few gk/gs when you made a better kill than the ones we're discussing here. Trying to make it sound like I was totally ungracious, huh? Go re-read the first 4 paragraphs of my original post in this thread. Then re-read the last sentence above this edit. And you're right, we won't waste any more time with each other.
Here's the chat buffer screenies (.jpgs) after the very last fight of the night when you "quit."
