Title: What's your take...
Post by: JB42 on March 17, 2004, 02:21:11 AM
On someone asking for a duel in the DA, shooting you down, and as you Salute them, they turn around and shoot your chute?

Personnaly I think it's a form of inslult, liken to spitting on someone. With that note YUCCA!

I think he was doing you a favor.  Why would you he proly thought you bailed by accident.  No reason to bail in the DA unless you were testing your chute.

shooting the chute, or more accurately, the little guy hanging from the chute is a skill that needs to practiced at every opportunity.

Yep, it's an insult.  Get in your plane, make him bail, and shoot his chute.  

Either that or it was good natured fun.

Yes I bailed in the MA. My plane was dead and I was going to use my time floating down to Salute and discuss what just happened. I just guess my code is different than regular DA flyers. Simple solution, no more duels.

meatbombs have no place in the DA. plenty of time to discuss things in tower or on the next up.

Chutes are targets, that's why they explode.
Chutes explode, that's why I shoot them.

If your ego is so fragile that you get all huffy about someone shooting your chute, I don't think you can be helped by anyone here.

Ahumm! I think you may have just hit the nail on the head here. ya know the "discuss what just happened" thingy.
  The part where you got shot down was the discussion, the shooting of the chute was the period at the end. ///////Lots of folks don`t get into the over and over "discussing" and analyzing things until it`s boreing to the point of snoozeville.
   On top of that just look at the favor he done ya. There you were out in the open wearing silk. Anyone could have flew by , snapped a few snapshots, made a home movie, or mooned you from their cockpit.
  You should  just be thankfull you don`t have to worry about ending up on the front page of the Enquirer next month. :D

JB42, Yucca did you a favor. First by dueling you, second by shooting your chute. He gave you 2 lessons, it seems that you learned none.

ah, my favorite whine "he shot my chute"  lol.

Even if you win the duel, you generaly auger in the DA. I don't see many trying to land their duel victories :D

Two legitimate gripes are about people who vulch bases or use jets in the DA (during a ffa).

I agree Fariz, would have really liked to get some input about our duel, but shooting my chute pissed me off, that I will have nothing to do with YUCCA anymore. Whether or not you would have bailed in the DA is irrelevent. I did and he dissed me. End of story.

Um....... i was augering in and ther was a chute in front of me.. Didn't realize that it was that big of a deal sheesh.

plus i did give you a but maybe you shouldnt log 2 seconds after i shoot you down sheesh.

Shame on you Yucca,  how could you?? I've lost all my respect for you.

I just cant ride flaming wreckage into the ground if it can be avoided, whether some point thing would matter or not (I know yall are gonna be shocked, but this happens fairly often;) offends some primal sense of survival

Honor/whatever you want to call it is a very over used term in these sorts of games. The next time you duel just bail but don't open the chute. That way you get to see if the guy really does want to try and get the kill. I try to do it because I hate watching my plane spin out of control on the FE.

I've gotten help in the DA before and a typical situation after the merge is, "ok, we need to work on your merge - lets auger and discuss it." Think of the DA as a training exercise - silk not needed.

yeah!!  there's a shortage of pantyhose in the MA!!!  conserve silk!!
