DA for accounts???

[oTRALFZo]

I heard this a few times but really want to understand the concept.
When people say they go to the DA to duel for accounts, what exactly is expected from the looser?
Does he hand over his account to the victor, or just cancel his account?
IMO this whole idea doesnt make any sense. Being the winner, I would never really expect someone to leave the game. As the one who lost, why not just sign on to a different name?
Does anyone know of someone that actually went through with closing their own account?

I have no clue.I only DA for rides,i need all the cartoon birds i can get!

[zack1234]

i closed my account and now live in a cave  because of losing my spit 1 in DA

[helbent]

I was challenged to this type ogf duel awhile back during a koth.  I was told that if I won, said person would pay my account for a year, with no responsibility on my part.  The duel was best of 7, I was up 2:1 when suddenly company came over and he had to log.  This was the last I heard from him.  Figures.  Oh well.

Not sure how much faith Id put into such promises or whatever.  Its not like I am going to contact a lawyer for breach of oral contract.

With the new thing where you can change your own name it's pointless. If you lose, change your name, and your set.

Do you have a story to go along with this?  I've never seen an actual duel with these agreed upon stakes.  I've seen a player make the offer though to another player before.  Of course, the other player declines every time in my experience.

The offer was to a squaddie of mine. I am just wondering exactly what is expected when someone looses that challenge. Is it a fight for "pink slips"? Is that person expected to leave AH?. I dont get it, and the whole idea doesnt make any sense, so why someone would even offer the challenge is beyond me

A small pocket rocket, perhaps?

Not leave, just pay for the winners account....So the winner gets a free year of AH, at the expense of the loser.  You see those challenges once in awhile when a person feels confident they are going to not only break out the pwn stick, but break said stick over someone's backside.  Challenge is also, generally, offered during heated exchanges.  That said, I've never heard of one actually being fully carried out....and I seriously doubt (in most cases, considering the conditions the duel is agreed upon) that the loser would pay anyway.

[Kazaa]

The loser would probably have to pay for the victors account for a month.

I have witnessed these types of duels a few times.  (2-3)

The "winner" has as of yet made the "looser" close their account.
