Omg...  do we really need to ask the difference? There is exactly zero honor in the ho.. jousting on the other hand is a centuries old custom to determine skill, poise,,bravery, and that good ole testicular fortitude. This ages old combative skill is what honor is made of!

Then you can carry a long stick on the end of your plane, I'll bring guns.  :lol

Not sure how you would get this to work, especially with anything that has cannons. In the end it will be he who sets his convergence the best gets the kill.

We used to joust in 8-player.  We had a map with 2 bases, then water in between.  Layed in a straight line were 20-30 bomber hangers. The entrances were on each side.  Got real fun with rockets.  :old:

I like Jousting Arena better but that would be a great map name.

so uhhhhh 2 people fly in opposite directons maybe 10 feet to the side of each other (or more) and then somebody kicks a little rudder at some point to put guns on the enemy, then lets off the rudder to avoid collision....i guess, but wont people probably just use it as a ho arena anyways?

Unlikely. This arena will bring out the best in people.  But If someone insists on hoing, then all I will need from the victim is a film with the evidence. If I get 3 films of the same person hoing rather than jousting they will be banned from the arena for the tour.

I think that's fair.

Actually, you know what?  That might be kind of fun..

Do this.. make your own map... submit it for a weekly special event sort of thing, and you can CM it.

For it to be fair though, collisions would have to be turned off altogether, as lag varies so much from one person to another.

I don't know if I can pull off making my own map. I'll look into it though. I would like for the walls to be so tall that it actually looks like they come together at the top. Lighting may be a problem with that tho b/c the sun will be blotted out but that is a risk I'm willing to take cuz blotting out the sun is cool and should always be attempted whether one is in real life or cartoonland.

Collisons will have to stay on. It is a big part of the joust to successfully use your plane as a fear tactic when confronting the enemy. We will just have to live with lag just like we do with other aspects of the game.

   A long time ago "dueling" was more what Sun is talking about. Now the dueling arena is just a smaller MA. Ive suggested events that take place at the bottom of a volcano that would kind of do what hes saying.

Just had a guy looking for a joust over town at 22k.  Too bad the field was at sea level.  I was wondering if he was going to tear his wings off trying to get down to my little 109.  The film starts when he finally starts coming down.  Hilarity ensues:   :rofl
