Winning a fight at all cost?

[brad]

I wonder what my VW did wrong when u zerged him down @ Bled-bridge with nobody around, except my VW and ur gang

Well we had a grp to take towers, as we run down to bridge, i saw my friend was dying and helped him..........if i had known it was you i would have left you, but i didn't.

75% of the ppl prefers a fair fight, yeah... How unlucky am I to be constantly running into grouped ppl giving fuck all about a fair fight then

Its nothing but a zergfest

Using exploits in the game, which amounts to cheating, is far worse than the scenario described in the original post.

I was meaning things like strafng, runthrough, water bobbing etc.

Did like 10 runs solo earlier

afaik, got zerged on every goddamn run.

but oh wait, most of DAoC population prefers fair fights. Fucking BOLLOCKS this poll. Adding and zerging retards even lying their asses off.

Word

In fact, the only fair fights I had were vs. you

(I played 'Fayne', Heretic )

I played Heretic fyi!

although I must admit I logged sorc once to gank 2 NSs and a ranger who fucked me 4 times over. And I bet they voted for 'fair fights' here too

Such much anger and hypocrisy in this thread. The flame has already begun, better close this thread before Puppet and Zephina become the best solo'ers and fair fighters just by building up some legends here.

This poll could be phrased a lot better who's going to vote anything other than "I prefer fair fights".

Note that you can prefer fair fights and still fight non-fair fights. E.g. just because you're steamrolling someone doesn't mean it's your favourite thing in game, it just happens that that person was standing in the middle of the zergfest bridge.

Difference between "prefer fair fights" and "only ever fight if it's fair" and tbh the second goal is stupid since no fight is ever going to be completely fair unless it's a /duel between identical characters

Anyway this thread has just become a slanging match between a couple of posters - lockage.

If you avoid the poll (or make a poll more likely to get decent results*) we could probably get some good discussion going on this subject though - e.g. do you go out of your way to avoid an unfair fight or do you avoid fights you might lose? How cautious do you play? charge screaming into the enemy zerg or drop 4 speedwarps and run for the nearest river?


I'll leave you to post a new discussion if you feel like it

*Edit: if you want to know why your poll doesn't give good results consider if you phrased it:
A:Who would only ever fight if everything about it was completely fair, classes, skills, realm rank, numbers?
B: Who's not quite so fussed?

Would get very different results.
