another foe with honour it seems 
how tight do you stick to your own rules?? my question is what happens if you keep upping to meet a guy who constantly hos... would you break your own rules to teach this guy a lesson?
I think I stick to it better than most would admit, although there are always those who (who without any substantiation) will cry "hypocrasy". In a former incarnation I did plenty of "all of the above". I took a 8 -10 month break and returned with a new way to approach the game "FOR ME". The "fun meter" swung off the chart and I was happy to be back. As I sought out "higher quality" engagements I learned more and started to become a guy some folks sought out to have a good go with. Ofcourse all situations differ but I honestly try to stay true to a style of play that "I" think is "less shabby"
To be honest if I give grief to someone who plays shabby it is cause I honestly think they are better than that! I try very hard not to berate new folks or folks who I know to be still deep in the learning curve, as these folks have every right to get kills anyway possible, and vets can easily work thru these new folks.
These things I will not do
I will not vulch, there is no reason for it and it drives away most who had the inclination to up at that base in the 1st place.
I will not enter a localized fight that started before I got there, there is some interpretaion here as "furballs" can be confusing and chaotic. When I enter a known furball I seek out those that are not currently engaged. Usually I'm attacked in short order so there is not much waiting!
An example of a localized fight is such: I am at 1K rolling with one while evading a B&Z from 2 others, along comes another that was NOT there at the beginning of the engagement this "other" bides her time then saddles up on my 6. What exactly is the point of such play? I accepted the crcumstance I was in, why toss something new into the mix? Is "name in lights" that enticing?<-- this type of play I do not do.
I do not seek out fairness, I seek challenge. I do not seek out "easy" I seek out challenge
I do not think everyone should play as I try to, but I do think it is reasonable for the AH vets to practice a higher standard of interaction.
The game is not to be taken serious and it is just a game. I can honestly say some of the most fun to be had is fighting in an area where "most" of the participents are of "known" quality and most are practicing a "higher standard" of play where folks are standing off from cherryfesting, and not to aggressive at picking, they are also fully vesting themselves in the "moment", win or lose there is an "unspoken" air of respect and admiration for the fight. These nights though becoming few and far between fuel the beast within. Many many nights VS the 80th, the pigs, the 71st, the muppets etc etc have honed my style!
Sadly the 12 hour shackles that have been secured to us all will make my style harder to maintain, it has inspired me to play less
. Maybe I'll get more "honey dos" done this year
