So your definition of a dweeb is someone who aether kills you in a 3v1 with HO's or from a 30K perch in a temp or keeps stalking you until you try to land and then he kills you?

Fixed and yes.

This is where some guy will tell you you're excessively egotistical, elitist, fascist, etc, for pointing this out. Apparently you can make something retarded true if enough dingbats repeat it.

Oops.. looks like you got one already.

Duel
–noun
1.    a prearranged combat between two persons, fought with deadly weapons according to an accepted code of procedure, esp. to settle a private quarrel.
2.    any contest between two persons or parties.
–verb (used with object), verb (used without object)
3.    to fight in a duel.
Origin:
1585–95; earlier duell < ML duellum, L: earlier form of bellum war, prob. maintained and given sense “duel” by assoc. with L duo two


Cant for the life of me understand why its called the "Dueling Arena" When thats the one thing it absolutely isnt.
And why you will never see me in there.
I mean whats the point?
If someone and myself have a score to settle and we want to do it 1 V 1. I can just as easily call them out in one of the main arenas and run the risk of getting interfered with as I can in this so called "Dueling arena". And I wont have to risk leaving the arena and not be able to get back in when Im done.

They should rename it for what it is
the "Melee Arena"

Melee
–noun
1.    a confused hand-to-hand fight or struggle among several people.
2.    confusion; turmoil; jumble: the melee of Christmas shopping.
n. 

   1.
         1. Confused, hand-to-hand fighting in a pitched battle.
         2. A violent free-for-all. See Synonyms at brawl.
   2. A confused tumultuous mingling, as of a crowd: the rush-hour melee.

HTC, and the community would be far better served if they set up "Dueling" similar to like they had it in Air Warrior.
You didnt even have to leave the Main arena. Challenge someone to a duel, Agree to what rules you were going to fight by.(cold merge, Alt, Types of planes etc) Pick your fields and have at it.
 You became invisible to the rest of the arena. It was just you and the other person without even an outside chance of some cherry picker coming in and ruining a good fight.

Barring that
They should at least call the arena what it is. the Melee Arena, or the Furball Arena
Cause a "Dueling Arena" is the one thing it isnt.

Yeah, I'm starting to see that this is a recurring theme, such as the post that came shortly after mine. LOL

The point is that the score potatoes won't risk their precious score and rank in the MA when they die in a duel.

I go to the DA once in a while just to goof around, or practice with a squaddie or friend.  The TA is good, but since you don't get shot down, the DA is the next best thing to practice new planes or tactices to see what it takes to kill/die.  And generally speaking, most times we are not bothered.  For those times that we are, we just wing up and grief the griefer until he gets a clue - it gives us a chance to practice wingman tactics.  :D

The DA is good for tuning up one's SA before FSO.

If you are not  :noid  and looking around every 3 seconds after being in there, then you probably will NEVER develop any SA.     :D

You will find every cretin under the sun in there, using every lame tactic possible.

The best part is when they try to justify the tactics they use.

Oh........ and by the way...........
