hehe, I don't see Dodger saying no to this.

Coordinate a time, I think Dodge plays more on weekends.  I am open Tues/Wed/Thurs/Sunday PM this week.  Working 10am to 10pm on Friday & Saturday, so if it was either of these days it would be 11pm CST before I could make it.  Might actually be sober those two days.  :cheers:

Maybe later.  A bracket requires time commitments people may need to change.  Let's see who actually wants to show expertise first.

 We should keep score , come up with a set of simple rules that don't require refs. Keep it as simple as possible, do we use the score and rules from our duel last night to start?

Xargos was the admin mod. and we all know why he isn't playing or on the boards (or I do at least)

The place is quite dusty, cob webs all over, and someone swiped my damn scotch


As for the rules debate: noone has realized that if you was to look very closely at the rules in that other2vs2 thread, that the rules are a mixture of the koth rules, BaldEagl's dueling bracket rules, and most observed DA dueling rules., and SDL rules..with just a couple to few not included...just saying

You can make your own rules champ.  Challenge some people, set it up and knock yourself out.  If people want to fight you both under varying fuel loads they can do whatever they wish.  Don't be such a little whiny woman.

 will you care to explain as to what is not neutral about the same plane same fuel load out same ammo loadout that seems pretty neutral to me it's only up to the pilot to see who wins not who can run the other one out of fuel.

I have gotten a few PMs for 2v2s so I will try to reply to em if I get time tomorrow,

As far as the rules go see my post in the original thread, i don't feel like repeating it much.

 well I guess those rules are for your 2v2 league..... I am referring to the one about changeups new and improved 2 V 2 league, I thought I asked what is not neutral about people using the same plane, same fuel loadout and ammo loadout that sounds like a really even playing field..  so your above post really has nothing to do with the question sincere your rules don't apply to this 2v2 league.

 then you mentioned that you wouldn't participate unless it was more neutral I'm wondering what do you mean by more neutral?  if its the same plane same ammo same fuel load out its neutral I mean after all the name of the 2v2 game is to fight

It has me curious as well.  If a fair playing field is desired for the duel, then it just stands to reason that both parties take the same amount of fuel to eliminate any potential complaints afterwards.  I guess maybe fairness and an equal playing field isn't what they want after all...

If one side of a 2v2 duel had the capacity to dictate what fuel load the other side takes, then this statement would possibly make sense. However, since neither side can choose for the other, it becomes an inapt comparison. It is, at worst, like giving your opponent the OPTION to take a cheaply-made handgun up against a machinegun, although I wouldn't call differing fuel loads as extreme a difference as all that. If they choose to exercise that option, whose fault is it really?
Title: Re: THE 2 v 2 thread.
Post by: BnZs on August 21, 2014, 12:48:50 PM
Off-topic:
An interesting point is that dueling pistols were typically smooth-bore, not rifled, which is of course less accurate. But one of the primary reasons pistol dueling superseded sword dueling is the fact that in a pistol duel shots could be fired, no one hit, and honor could be considered satisfied at that point. Whereas in a sword duel, blood had to be drawn, and two scared-as-hell guys poking about with two very long needles is as likely to result in a fatal puncture wound as a scratch. Thus, this relative inaccuracy was almost certainly quietly considered a good thing by those who might find themselves having to duel.

hell man I booted a bunch back then that were not participating...or flying....

I asked ALL the old timers if they wanted to stay....the ones that said yes are still there the ones that didn't are not.

I got a few ladders going it was cool for awhile, then life got in the way...

I would be more then willing to put you back in....all you gotta do is ask ;)


I know why I was punted, but the thread deletions were funnier IMO.   Invite me back in and I'll use it for it's intended purpose.

you were punted because you did NOT say you wanted to stay....


what was its "intended" purposes?

a place to talk crap about the other players...

or a place for those that like dogfighting?

it was option A until I took it over and actually made dueling ladders and such.


you are more then welcome to take it back.....hell as a matter of fact keep an eye out you will see it soon...and seeings how you are a "cofounder" you will be "incharge" until I return.


I will be happy if you can get people to actually participate....I would get you some images for ladders if you want.

Jay you are in....

I reread what I said last message...let me say that I dont mean it was created for a place to talk crap about others first.... it very well may have been all about dogfighting....

but by time I got there it was anything but that.....




I was the one who brought it back to what it was supposed to be about.



in any case you are back in and a mod..... bring people in...start some ladders and get it back going....when I get back ingame it would be cool if some ladders are going.
