Pick discussion
« on: September 25, 2010, 11:28:51 PM »
The squad got talking about this today, and I thought it was a rather interesting topic.

One group was arguing that one picks are as dweebish as the others, regardless of circumstances. The other was saying that its somewhat more acceptable if someone with a con on his six says "hey, can someone get this guy off of me", in a furball, or in a 2v2 (you get a con someone else was fighting, who wasn't nessicarily engaging you at the moment).



Whats your oppinion on this?

well if 2 guys are of to the side of the world in a 1v1 and you interfere then that to me is dweebish. even if your friendly askes for help, if he entered the 1v1 then he should see it through to its end.

but in the midst of a furball, base invation/defence or when its your wingman and those are your intended tactics then hey all is fair.

in a furball, if it crosses my sights, andisn't a friendly, it's gettin lead.

if i come upon you fighting a red guy...i ask. if you ask me to remain out, i do, and i type this on open so the con knows.

            Unless you are in a private one on one duel in the DA and someone butts in, all is fair. Whether you are winning a fight and a friendly blows the guy away, or if you were losing it and the guy says "Yer clear", alls fair.
 This, HOs,RAMS,VULCHES,ROPES,YOU HAD MORE ALT,NO FAIR YOU BOUNCED ME, etc,etc, are all fair. Somewhat lame, but fair.

i've only once ever refused to help someone that was asking me. he was fighting dedalos.......and seeing as i knew ded asked people to stay out when he was fighting me, i would not go into the fight against him till they finished.

I pretty much accept the MA as a free for all, but if I do see a 1v1, I'll try to ask before engaging.

It all depends on the situation man. If you're in a squad or team thing it's what you WANT to do imo. If it's about doing a solo thing, you need to let it be known you're ok or ask before you jump in. I've been mad and glad both ways.
Communication lacks a lot of times. Especially around alot of people. If the guy that got picked is complaining about it, it's no big deal as he put himself in that situation. If I know I'm fighting again a group I'll be watching for the attempted pic.....hopefully . I've been mad and glad in that situation too  :cheers:

I hear ya Flotsom. :lol Being too good wouldn't be fun anyhow. I'd like to be king for a day but that would get boring probably. The reward is in killing the guy you didn't think you could.  :joystick:

This is going to be one of those six of one and half dozen of the other discussions. In the main arenas, if someone asks for help it doesn't matter what the guy on his six thinks, if there is someone in position to help he's going to get help unless it's an obvious 1v1 off in a corner somewhere.

It's a cage match in the mains.  Expect to be killed in every manner possible.  Dweebish is when someone does not understand that this will happen. :aok
