Originally by: Dame Death Edited by: Dame Death on 14/01/2010 10:52:39 Since when are solo pilot and combat pilot the same thing?
A solo pilot just needs to know who is weak enough for them to take.
A combat pilot needs to know exactly what his wingmen can do. Have faith in his FC and most importantly be trusted by his fleet.
Maybe this is why your always solo frank.
Poor Dame Death wheels out the same pathetic argument that you hear time and time and time again from one type of person.
What type of person is that? A gang banger.
A person who is INCAPABLE of solo killing. A person, for you could not call them a pilot, who CAN NOT kill other ships on their own.
Having inspected the combat databases "Dame Death" has not ONE SINGLE SOLO kill to their record in the Faction Wars. Not one.
AND YET would think that its OK to lecture me about combat.
Did you ever hear of a more inappropriately named "pilot"? Should be "Dame Youwillprobablylive".
Even your record of gangbanging is poor.
The tired argument of "Frank you have no friends, thats why you solo all the time", that is implicit to your pathetic commentary is completely transparent.
I see through you. I see through your arguments.
You talk about wingmen and FCs? I have flown with some of the best pilots in space.
I have FC'd gangs and fleets to victories more times than I care to recall.
If I prefer a lot of the time to be a solitary killer, then this is obviously part of my psyche.
Not wrong, just different. I don't need other pilots to hold my hand to keep me safe.
I am my own Master and Commander. I live and die at my own direction.
There are times when I prefer life in the vibrant company of a corporation or alliance.
In the last week alone I have been contacted again twice with people asking me to join their ranks.
This is the norm, for who wouldn't want the services of a ruthless bloody-minded killer, when death is your business?
Dame's problem is simple. You would like to be able to do what Frank Monkey can do.
It pains you not to have the mad skills that are demonstrated on a frequent basis.
But poor Dame, you simply haven't got it baby.
Few have.

Frank, I used to be like you a big mouth and solo hunter.
Thing is it made me hurt the people around me and unlike you I grew up.
You say my record isnt looking good latley thats because I'm the rarest of all things.
A guardian pilot that dosent pack a whoring mod.
Unlike you frank I care about the people I fly with and aint botherd about stats I furfil my fleet role and am hapy with that.
Just saying you should look closer at the databases as I have a lot of solo kills involving me killing a raven in a frigate if I recall corretly.

More of the same presumptuous tripe to muddy the waters.
"Unlike you frank I care about the people I fly with".
I cared so little that when I was bothered to FC in Minmatar I used to insure and replace the losses of any of the boats in my gangs/fleets. The only FC I have ever known to do this. I did it for several reasons. 1) It showed confidence in my own abilities to lead them to victory. 2) It gave the fleet confidence that victory was to be had and that improved their performance. 3) Some pilots were risking practically everything they had in the ship they were bringing and I was therefore sharing their risk with them, given they were now subject to my orders.
You see your presumptions are massively wide of the mark.
You can apologise any time you like now.
Or you can repair me to death in a duel.

Bit crap to choose the ship class you want to fight in and then start to limit the ships in that class the other guy can't fight in? Especially since the first ship you name he can't fight in is of his race. Not very fair?
Oh but I get to choose the location.
Well whoppy do...

Just so.

Eliza versus Frank Monkey. Now this should be entertaining.
Originally by: Frank Monkey
Originally by: Aria Jenneth Weasle words from an idiot.
Weasel words are usually used to try to get out of something. And they usually involve some sort of deception. But label them as you like.
Quote: "but all I see here is a weakling whining that his prey keeps getting away" - over 600+ solo kills in the faction wars really wouldn't bear that out now would it?
Well, unlike yourself, Mr. Monkey, I don't consider killboards indicative of all that much aside from an ability to kill people. This is only one type of strength, and it's a pretty crude one, at that.
You are here, blaming pilots for withdrawing from fights they wouldn't win, as you know perfectly well. This is, I'm sorry, whining. "Oh, the universe isn't conforming itself to my wants; clearly this is a great failing in it." Or, more specifically, "Dammit, I can't catch anything in my souped-up Angel Cartel frigate. I should be leaving every enemy I encounter as chaff in my wake! Why won't they just ... hold ... still! Cowards, all of them!"
This isn't strength you're demonstrating here.
Quote: "Kindly don't come here bleeding your weakness" - You who have zero record of strength call the strong weak?
Very readily, in your case. By all means, feel free to make me eat my words-- if you can catch me.
Quote: Your combat record is practically non-existent?
Compared to yours, perhaps it is. I don't dedicate myself quite so fully to the hunt. Then again, I have trouble viewing that as a weakness, exactly.
Quote: How many confirmed kills do you have in the Faction Wars? Less than 10? How many solo? 1? 2? You can't be serious.
For a man who loves finding truth on killboards, you can't be bothered to do much research. Now, that said, you're not far wrong; I've only recently started hunting alone very much, and my stay in the State Protectorate was brief and relatively uneventful; I concentrated more on complexes than on battle, though I did find the odd exhilarating interceptor dogfight. I'm told I'm better than average, which, considering that I find the blasted things maddeningly difficult to control, I take to be a sad commentary on the quality of the interceptor pilots involved. Perhaps they've improved, since.
And yes, I'm dead serious.
Quote: All I see is another person drunk on self-importance, that we should "listen" to their words.
But where does YOUR exaggerated idea of yourself come from?
It certainly can't be found in the combat databases.
Really, I'm less concerned with how important I am than with the accuracy of what I have to say. Getting the occasional compliment does, I'll admit, feel nice, but really it's a side effect.
Accuracy, now, that's a personal obsession. And you give me no reason to doubt my assessment.
Quote: Now why don't you cloak up your Pilgrim and continue to watch the combat pilots fight the war.
Why, I do have a Pilgrim. I don't fly it very much, however; the blasted thing drives me crazy. It turns like a battleship and moves like a toasted slug. Perhaps I should have gone easier on the armor plating.
No-- the vessel with which I interfere in my own, small way in your war is something much more interesting, a personal gift I'd truly hate to lose. And I do enjoy watching the "combat pilots," but I enjoy even more going to work, briefly, for one side or the other, or perhaps catching one of your fellows unaware at an awkward moment.
But it seems you're not interested in anything I have to say. Please feel free to continue being "strong," and loud, and perhaps some day our paths will cross in space.
And perhaps I'll kill you, then. But only if it suits me to do so. And perhaps you'll prove yourself clever, as well as "strong," and I will lose a very great deal.
Good hunting, pilot.

Originally by: Dame Death That a no frank? As the chalanged I have the right to decide wepons. Been that way for years.
Of course I accept.
I will even accept your extra demand of refusing me the possiblity of fighting in my favourite Battleship, namely the Domi. Something you already probably knew...
But must insist on the back of such an extra demand that the fight starts at zero distance between ships. Fairs fair and all that. Give and take.
I also have no problem with Jade being involved as arbiter of all that is fair.
I also agree with your wish for no neuts and no ecm(including tracking disruptors).
Please provide a list of ships that either of us are allowed to fly. Be explicit, I don't like confusion.
Yours in sport.

So let me get this straight. This is what YOU have specified. 1. You choose the ship class. 2. You refuse to let me fly a Dominix, even though she is a T1 BS. Last time I looked flying a Dominix isn't luck based. 3. You further stipulate that Neuts are OK but the Dominix is not? Completely hypocritical. 4. You then say ECM is out, but some types of ecm are in. Eh? 5. Then you stipulate the distance at which the engagement must start at, 10km. [conveninetly out of scram range so you can Benny Hill away. 6. Then you specify that the ships must be T2 fit into the bargain. So again you can ensure you can Benny Hill away behind a barrage of laser fire no doubt.
I think you have a very strange concept of what is fair in a duel. If you have specified all these things, what have I specified? Where are my six choices? Where is the fairness in this? A duel is supposed to be about an even chance at the start of contest. Yet here you are rigging the deck 6 ways before we even get down to it? Is your faith in your skills so poor that you basically have to introduce a handicapping system for me before you fight me?
Get real or go away. You are just coming across as a scardy cat now.
Constantine and I got it on in a duel not so long ago and we didn't have to put up will all this nonsense of rigging the fight before hand. Then again both parties acted honourably before, during and after said duel. Whats wrong with you?

Edited by: Anneka Tong on 15/01/2010 11:43:15 the simple solution is for a 3rd party to provide ships for the two of you to fight in.
Equal equipment then means its all about skill.
Also, tracking disruptors are not ECM, they just mean that ships like Vagabonds cannot hit ships like Arbitrators, which some people find annoying since they spent so much on Vagabonds and expect cheaper ships to simply explode when they face them.

You know, as much as I want to agree with Frank, having seen Amarr militia pilots flee my Merlin and Tristan in their Punishers, Rifters, even the Slicers, to return in destroyers and assault ships, I have just one thing to say to the Amarr militia. He brings up a fair point. I had to chase over fifteen Amarr wartargets in my Hyperion one day for them to open fire. Granted, I lost the battleship, but seven jumps to get even a fifteen on one? That's borderline ridiculous. Even then, they needed a half dozen frigates and interceptors to drop my Cormorant after that. Didn't even send a thrasher or at least single cruiser. It amuses me.

Take it from a Caldari, Frank:
ECM is ECM. That means type-specific signal jammers, multispectrals, and the rarely-used bursts. Everything else, from target painters to sensor dampeners, is "electronic warfare."

Okay Frank and Dame.
You both agreed you were happy for me to arbitrate so this is what I propose:
Dame is right to a degree, as the challenged its fair for her to name a ship class. I think its her intention to name "battleship" and that again is reasonable as far as it goes.
Where this gets a bit silly is the additional rules and clauses and complexities and debate over these things take away from the essential nature of the duel - which is to configure a ship, risk the fittings and planning in combat and see which of the two of you holds the field at the end.
I propose the following rules which I consider fair and honest:
1. You will each prepare a battleship. No restrictions on hull type. No restictions on fit. It can be tech1, tech2, faction or whatever. Risk plays a role in these fights and must always do so for the duel to be meaningful. You can bring tier1 tech1 one ships, faction ships, tech2 marauders or whatever. Only restriction would be battleship class as chosen by Dame as the defender of the challenge. I appreciate that some people are concerned about EW overpowering such duels but that is life I'm afraid, if you fear being jammed fit ECCM, if you fear being neuted, fit extra cap injectors. Its all part of the risk.
2. I'll offer the Space and Freedom III tower as location for the duel - it operates by NRDS rules of engagement and neither of you are flagged as hostile to its automated guns. I'll put a large secure container down 100 klicks above the POS and give you both bookmarks to this can in the station in Kamela in advance of the duel. Both of you will remain docked until the last moment to ensure that neither has advance knowledge of the other's ship.
3. When the moment comes you will both undock and warp to your choice of random celestial in the Kamela star system and prepare. When I say "go" you will warp to the beacon at Space and Freedom at your choice of distance from zero to 50. Combat will begin as soon as you are both on grid.
4. Fighting will continue until one of you is destroyed or a mutual surrender is agreed. Anyone that warps out is a cowardly dog and will be reviled. Fleeing further than 150 klicks from the beacon will be similarly counted as treacherous flight from battle. I will be the ultimate judge of this.
***
I can judge this fight tonight from 02:00 hours+ (early hours of saturday) or on Sunday from 22:00 hours+ (or after this point at another time you both can agree.)
I understand if one or other you finds these rules not entirely to your taste but I assure you to my eyes they are at least fair and equal and neither will have an unfair advantage over the other. Uncertainty of ship type and fit is what makes these contests interesting and if you agree to these terms then it will certainly be a fight to remember.
(I'll be writing to you both by eve-mail later on this evening to ensure you have seen this thread response).
Salute to both your courage, I hope we can agree the terms now and go forwards.

Oh my, what a coincidence.
It's Dame Death. The pilot that managed to wander into our mining group. We opened fire on her and after we realised that she wasn't hostile we let her go. She runs off crying to a local group saying we were out to kill her. The local group comes back and blows us up. Sure, set us back by a billion in assets, but then everyone realises that Dame Death here was lying through her teeth by saying we were hostile, when we were just protecting ourselves from a very obviously armed battleship.
Conclusion, Dame death exiled, from area, while we move on to deeper and greener pastures.
And personally Frank, you can be the best pilot there is, but an angry group of miners will still bring you down. Go hunt your amarr militia. And put a hole in Eliza, she deserves it.

I'll put a large secure container down 100 klicks above the POS and give you both bookmarks to this can in the station in Kamela in advance of the duel. Both of you will remain docked until the last moment to ensure that neither has advance knowledge of the other's ship.
3. When the moment comes you will both undock and warp to your choice of random celestial in the Kamela star system and prepare. When I say "go" you will warp to the beacon at Space and Freedom at your choice of distance from zero to 50. Combat will begin as soon as you are both on grid.
4. Fighting will continue until one of you is destroyed or a mutual surrender is agreed. Anyone that warps out is a cowardly dog and will be reviled. Fleeing further than 150 klicks from the beacon will be similarly counted as treacherous flight from battle. I will be the ultimate judge of this.
***
I can judge this fight tonight from 02:00 hours+ (early hours of saturday) or on Sunday from 22:00 hours+ (or after this point at another time you both can agree.)
I understand if one or other you finds these rules not entirely to your taste but I assure you to my eyes they are at least fair and equal and neither will have an unfair advantage over the other. Uncertainty of ship type and fit is what makes these contests interesting and if you agree to these terms then it will certainly be a fight to remember.
(I'll be writing to you both by eve-mail later on this evening to ensure you have seen this thread response).
Salute to both your courage, I hope we can agree the terms now and go forwards.
I retract my offer to arbitrate. Dame has made no move to remove the proscription on fits and I'm not interested with involving myself on a dispute which will inevitably devolve into complaints and accusations of cheating false advantage and seeking limitations to personal benefit.
I have previously witnessed Frank Monkey fight a fair and honourable duel and I will say at this point I have greater faith in his ability to honour such proceedings than I do Dame/Nauticaa.
But I will involve myself no further with people who lack the ability and backbone to seek single combat without stacking the decks in their own fair with restrictive setup "rules" and bias.
I'm done with this farce.
