Don't do it man. Be part of the 5% not the 95%. It's not always easy but then playing the game with a higher code of conduct never is. Getting killed by a group of 5+ bad guys is no reflection on your skill or ability, but it speaks volumes about theirs.
5% of what? Higher code of conduct? Honestly, if you're talking the MA's where everyone is concerned with their 1337 skillz ok, you can measure your manhood by your 1v1 ability if you want then say "it's just a game". Personally, if I can do the dumb thing and jump into a multi con situation and come out of it, that's a challenge worthy of an effort, and more of a measure of whatever skillz toon pile-it wannabe aces consider worthy of some sort of cartoon manhood than out stick stirring a single individual in a 1v1. The 1v1 should be how you learn what it takes to stick stir better than multiple cons, nothing more.
The people who are frequenting the AvA are there for more WWII aerial combat immersion than they find in the main arenas. Don't fly alone if you can help it. If you do find yourself flying alone against multiple opponents, accept the challenge and do the best you can. When it's over, instead of looking at the negative aspects, win or lose re-examine the fight and how it progressed, learn from it. Just like learning to adjust to the settings, it won't take long before you start looking forward to the challenges.
