As I recall, I have been killed by you, twice while I have zero kills on you.

I am the worst pilot in the game, but it does not stop me from having fun.

Strip, if you fly out into the middle (No Man's Land) and call out for 1 v 1s I think you'll get what you want.

I've seen guys doing that every night and they seem satisfied.

Toad flying out to the center doesn't always work. I have had 1v1 fights interrupted there, by both friendlies (even when I asked them to stay out) and baddies. Granted it is rare but it does happen. I've also seen groups try to ambush you on the way out to the center.

Strip it isn't always gang or be ganged. Some of the best furballs I've ever had have been in the WW1 arenas. The pure chaos is exhilarating, The fact that you can take hits and keep fighting means I almost never land any kills, but it sure is fun.  

It's true that people need to learn how to look at the roster and move to the low number side. I don't know how you get them to forget about their silly chess piece loyalty, but that would be a move in the right direction.

Just to clarify a furball is roughly equal numbers of red and green going at it. A gang bang is a group (three, but usually more) on a lone enemy.

I'm sure that is true but you have a much better chance of finding the 1 v 1 out there. It works more often than not?

Of course, as the win-t3h-warr folks are always suggesting to people that just like to fight, there is always the DA.

Anyone looking soley and exclusively for 1 v 1 action always has the DA option. That is its purpose.

I don't think any other arena can guarantee pure 1 v 1s, do you?

There is NO arena that can guarantee an uninterrupted 1v1.  You just do your best to find a spot and hope everyone else respects it.  What goes around, comes around.  People will find this out...eventually.

Don't get me wrong I still fly out to nml when I'm looking for a 1v1. I also move on when there are two or more friendlies on a single bogie. I also try to fight my way out of every situation that I encounter no matter how lopsided the odds. There are people though that want to get a kill no matter what the circumstance.

I'm still having a blast in WW1, and seem to be able to find something that I enjoy. Sometimes though I do have to move to another arena.

I've seen guys doing that every night and they seem satisfied.

It really depends on who's on for calling out a 1v1 in no man's land.  Last night when I logged on there were only 3 other Knits, Bish and Rookies were fighting each other for the most part so I asked anyone if they wanted a 1v1 in middle of map.  I show up and so did the Rookie hord, I had asked for a 1v1 and got a 5v1 instead.  At one point in the night, each Knit would have at least 4-5 guys on his six.  I flew on the fringes and managed to find a 1v1 but that soon turned into a 2v1, which then quickly progressed to a 4v1 and finally culminated into a 6v1 fight. 

Some just don't like to fight unless they have the safety in numbers.
