The time for you running your mouth with impunity has come to an end.
Now it's time for consequence.
You didn't think I'd find you? I did.
You think I don't have the patience to sit here, watching you cower inside a station all day? I do. The lesson you're about to learn is worth waiting for.
You can make this easy on yourself and undock now.
Or we can sit here all day.
And all night.
And all week long.
I might even pay some mercs to come do a few shifts, so I can go to sleep every now and then.
But in the meantime I have enough X-Instinct to see you through this week.
You are not getting out of this one without putting your money where your big mouth is.

You will excuse me if I take my time to respond as I seem unable to stop laughing...
All this just for me? Don't I feel special today.
I am not sure what you plan to do outside the station, except wave at me, since we are not at war. I guess you probably do plan to sent a war dec my way at some point. Not that it would help you much.
You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble and ISK you know. If you wanted to shoot at me all you had to do was ask for a duel. I'll make it easy on you. I'll post the internal GLS duelling rules for you on our public communications portal here*. If you feel you can handle it, challenge me to a duel using standard issue T1 cruisers and I will accept.

The event will be available, yes. One of the main reasons I am giving Nooey some of my time for this is that our research shows a high level of marketable interest (for educational purposes of course ). Keep monitoring thse channels for details and thanks for the vote of confidence.  ________________

The official GLS dueling rules have now entered the public domain here.
As previously agreed the ship selection will be limited to T1 non-faction cruisers.
I prefer that the participants declare their ship selections prior to fitting, but if Nooey does not want that, fine with me. As for fittings, I prefer no limitations, but if Nooey wishes a 'no faction' modules rule I will accept that.
Me preference is a standing start, the option to yield available and the loot returned to the original owner, but again if Nooey wants any of these options changed, I am fine with it.
Additionally I am willing to cover any bets third parties wish to place against me, up to a total (for all bets not individually) of 100 million ISK. Members or associates (past or present) of Omerta Syndicate and the Star Ftaction are excluded from this. ________________

Mr. Bliss,
A duel only takes an hour at best of my time and gives the GLS the potential to provide entertainment for a profit, which is what we do. A war on the other hand is boring and time consuming, with vast amounts of time wasted in searching for targets or evading the enemy searching for you. Time I could be spending in the company of the wonderful Bunnies and Tarts.  ________________

If this will be televised, then perhaps Shemar should wear a prison uniform like so many others who die on bad GLS programs.  I can even provide you a (slightly used) uniform, fresh off the body of a prisoner who tried to escape shortly after being captured from the remains of Gila-class cruiser.
I'm not quite sure where he though he was going to escape to in the detention area of my Raven, but he didn't make it there.
Might I add the Lai-Dai extreme supression bean-bag guns should not be fired at full power when attempting to only stun? Well, they shouldn't be set to 10, 4-5 seems to do, 10 caused a mess...
You don't mind a 3-inch wide hole in your uniform's shirt do you Shemar?

Oh that old story again? I assure you the combat uniforms designed for that show were for maximum combat efficiency and (where possible) sex appeal. Perhaps watching a show before critisizing it would be advisable.
I did not realize Caldari were in such a short supply of clothing as to wear used ones and even preserve the clothing of the dead. In any case, no thanks.  ________________

Ahh, I see that after avoiding the bet you also increased your expectations. Getting cheap are we? Tell you what: If, in case Nooey wins, he does shoot at my pod, I'll give him an extra 5 million ISK. ________________

I am not really sure Elsebeth. Apparently what I have to say matters so much to Nooey that he feels the need to fight over it. 
But, as usual, the GLS is at the forefront of quality entertainment, so I could not pass this one up

Due to current political circumstances and the ever growing list of people who want me dead, again (please take a number if you want in), advertising my location at any given time is not such a brilliant idea. If the duel can be arranged without that info leaking, and you take the risk of having unexpected and impolite guests arrive, sure.

It depends on what you mean by 'open'. I have not yet decided on the cost of admission for spectators.
I have to also stress that at this point, Nooey has not yet issued an official challenge and therefore a lot of the details are not finalised. ________________

Additionally the final location determination and communications with the neutral observer and between the participants will happen in a private comms channel and only paid participants will have access to that. ________________

Yuki, there are a lot of people who could talk about the lives of crew members, but you are not one of them.
Given that is is a very short mission, I can fly with a skeleton crew, all of whom are volunteers (and yes, the contractual obligation to keep sending their salaries to their families for life should something happen to them helps). That of course is if I lose.
I never considered myself (or any of us pod pilots really) as someone who mattered, but if Nooey is willing to go to all this trouble to shoot me, just because he doesn't like what I say, I will venture a guess that it matters to him.
Me, I am just doing my job, providing entertainment for a price. Nooey offers to provide a show and I cash in. Simple as that. No ego involved. ________________

You people are too funny! So if I duel I don't care about my crews, if I don't I am a coward. You got all your bases covered huh?
Especially coming from you Tatsue that less than a week ago were going on about how voluntary your crews follow you to their deaths and how freely and willingly they make that choice.
In any case, unless you would like to claim that I use slaves for crews, the simple fact that I do have a crew willing to go along, knowing all the facts available to me, is all that needs to be said.

Umm, I fail to see where you're going.
Yuki was talking about your relationship with your crew, because the inference made from what you said was that it didn't matter if your crew died because their family would get compensation, therefore if they died it would be inconsequential. With enough money, you can buy off a life, after all (and that's not real compassion). This seems logical, as you've been selfishly spinning this duel into something it's not intended to be, that is, serving your entertainment business which has been known to thrive off bloodsport.
Yuki asked you to not make a blind accusation about her relationship with her crew. She never talked about it and therefore there's no way you can begin to dissect her words.

Yuki was talking about your relationship with your crew, because the inference made from what you said was that it didn't matter if your crew died because their family would get compensation, therefore if they died it would be inconsequential. With enough money, you can buy off a life, after all (and that's not real compassion). This seems logical, as you've been selfishly spinning this duel into something it's not intended to be, that is, serving your entertainment business which has been known to thrive off bloodsport.
Yuki asked you to not make a blind accusation about her relationship with her crew. She never talked about it and therefore there's no way you can begin to dissect her words.
Your assumption that I don't care about my crew is utterly wrong. My crew lays down their life every single day, fighting greatly outnumbered against fleets of outlaws and task forces of invading navies. They do it for profit (yes, many of them also from patriotism, but since they don't get a say as to what or who I fight I am not counting on that).
Up until recently, it is true that I refused to force my crew to fight against other pod pilots except in self defense. That is still the case. However I am now in a position to offer them enough financial incentives to volunteer for this extra hazardous job. I could have just waved their contracts in front of them and force them to do it, as I am sure many pilots do, but I didn't.
Unlike others, I never claimed I was some kind of charitable person or that I do things for the good of mankind. I do business. I try to do business in a way that improves the universe around me, but it is still business. I offer, they accept, it's a deal. As long as I do not go back on my deals and I don't force anybody into doing things they do not want to do, I can sleep fine at nights.
I put my crews into a lot less danger than any of you who try to make something out of this, yet somehow I am the one who cares less. Whatever. My crew knows best. ________________

I really don't care about conditions.
I really don't care about observers.
I really don't care about betting.
I really don't care about televising this.
Most of all, I don't care for your need to make this into a spectacle. This was a fight of honour. But you being you, I guess you just had to make it into a fight about something far less important. Well you lost the honour part of it already, without a shot being fired, congratulations. Yuki and Kyoko couldn't be more right in what they say, and I thank them for saving me the effort of pointing the obvious out.
When your crew are floating lifelessly in the void, take a moment to realise that it was your incessant drivel, your unrelenting need to voice your opinion negatively in affairs that don't even involve you at all that was responsible. (And that Babs, is all you need to really know, surprised it even needed pointing out.)
As far as my Crew goes, they all hate you as much as I do. If we were duelling in Titans I still couldn't take all the people who wanted to come.
I'm just the bringer of consequence, your illusions of impunity are just that, illusions. You run your mouth here like you do and think nobody will do something about it, that you can hide safely in your puny alliance and take a crap on everybody else.
That ends now.
Consider this my official acceptance Shemar. On one simple condition, since you have so many of your own.
If I win, you don't show your face here on the Summit for a week. If I lose, then the same applies to me.
My gift to the universe, a week of sanity.

How very amusing Nooey. I think you give me enough material for a daily comedy show.
Off the Summit for a week huh? What an unusual request. You really must stop obsessing about me. I am not all that important you know. It can't be a good sign. I recommend professional help.
I have some vacation coming up and it coincides nicely, so I'll accept your term.
As for honour, what a joke. Fighting because you don't like my words. Usless. Meaningless. You call that honour? At least I do it for profit. Unless you are under the influence again, even you realize that you have no way of hurting me, if I choose not to allow you to. I have no reason to do this, other than to provide some entertainment and make some money, which is exactly what I do.
My crew has a strong emotional reaction to you too, by the way. Except they don't hate you, they are laughing their bottoms off.
On to details. Since you don't care about who the neutral party is and DeadRow offered, I guess you agree. How does next Sunday sound? About 20:00? Asking both Nooey and DeadRow. ________________

Go Nooey! you can kill the loud mouth.
Ahh, I see that after avoiding the bet you also increased your expectations. Getting cheap are we? Tell you what: If, in case Nooey wins, he does shoot at my pod, I'll give him an extra 5 million ISK.
I'm sure the satisfaction of you going splat will mean more to Nooey than 5mil isk.

Not that I know either of you at all, but I must say nooey I find it funny you think its his fault this has turned into a spectacle. After all, it was YOU who broadcasted this message originally for the whole board to see :)
I am afraid it is you who brought this attention my friend.
Anyway, if I am allowed, I would like to place a small wager on the side of Shemar. My reasoning for this is simply the way nooey has "acted" in these conversations.

You're saying that my requesting a duel, is responsible for Shemar's decision to turn this into a media circus with betting, live camera coverage and other things that I don't care enough about to have remembered?
Is there some kind of overlooked rationality underpinning your statement or do you suppose that I control his mind?

Well shrug, that's irrelevant. What I was pointing out was simply that he's doing the exact same thing he was accusing me of doing. That's it. If you want to cry foul about some perceived injustice, don't immediately turn around and start doing the same thing.
I was accused of sacrificing the lives of a lot of people. Well, now Shemar is the one running a betting industry on the lives of his crew.

Quality entertainment, I say. Saying Shemar does not care for his crew is... I don't know. Equivalent to calling Tharrn of 1st Praetorian a freedom fighter. Priceless.
That said, there is a reason for why I and many others do not approve of duels in anything else but light frigates that can run without crew. I hope some arrangement to minimize nonsensical losses can be arrived to here too.

I believe I still have your cell culture somewhere in the laboratory Shemar. It's mostly a control group I'm sure, there was a slight problem with cross contamination and a misplaced progressive gamma projector, but I'm sure I could clean it up. I know, everybody has their own medical insurance these days, but I still worry, and theres nothing quite like a personal touch... tell me, strictly speaking, would your clone really _need_ hair and skin?
I assume you are going to arrange for medical staff at this event? It would be such a shame if somebody were seriously hurt in all this mess, I'm happy to volunteer at least. Just contact me if you need me.

hmm I dont think I stuttered? That is exactly what I am saying. You drag a mans name out in public !! And then you question HIS motives when he defends himself? I think once a mans name and honor is questioned (or lack there of) it is completely up to HIM how he chooses to defend it.
If you werent prepared for this to become something "public" then you should have never brought this out, you should have handled it privately with him.

I will try to provide some replies without a quotefest...
It is undisputable that Nooey is the one who made this a public issue, not me. It is undisputable that Nooey is the one following me around with personal attacks in irrelevant topics (and I can provide links to two or three upon request).
It is well known that the GLS specializes in promotional activities and entertainment, so it should hardly be a surprise to anyone that when Nooey makes a public spectacle of himself, we point a camera and microphone to him and sell tickets.
Personally, I don't really think that what I have to say matters much. I know for a fact that what Nooey and his merry band have to say does not matter to me in the least. But apparetnly what I say does affect Nooey, to the point where he decided it is worth his time to fight me about it. In all honestly I find it quite unhealthy.
Tatsue, I never claimed that my crew had any kind of absoulte freedom and they are choosing to follow me. That was you. Flying a space ship these days is probably one of the most hazardous jobs. I know my crew does it for the money. I am sure looking at my total number of crew losses over the past year, compared to others, you will see why it is quite easy for me to find crews for hire.
Celes, I am not quite sure what you are cooking with that DNA sample of mine, but I am quite sure I don't want to know about it. Thanks for the offer but I will go with standard medical and search and resque services.
Since most of you do not get the joke or did not bother to read the duel rules, let me inform you that the duel will take place in a high security system. So in the event that Nooey wins, firing at my pod would be most entertaining, hence my offer to give him 5 million ISK if he does so.
To those that offer their support, thank you. Unfortunately I do not have the capability to cover bets for me, only against me. To those that wish to bet against me, if nobody else will take your bet, message me privately and I will cover it. ________________

With Nooey's acceptance I can now move on to the business side of things.
Event tickets will cost 50000 ISK. The price includes access to the GLS dueling channel where the final location of the duel will be announced as well as all communication between participants and observer will take place. I am also working on commentators and news coverage which will also be included with no additional cost.
The event will become available in holoreel format, for private usage, for the price of 10000 ISK. Commercial use (such as 3rd party advertising) will require additional licensing. Educationl use is free.
The event is nominally scheduled for next Sunday, 20:00 EVE Stadard time, as our research indicates that particular time is conductive to peak audiences. A specific date and time as well as the general area of the duel will be announced 24 hours prior to the event.
Thank you for your interest.  ________________

I understand your reservations Elsebeth. Unfortunately, frigates are too fragile and fickle and often the winner is determined by luck, instead of skill and tactics, as the duel does not last long enough.
I assure you that every possible precausion has been taken to minimize the loss of life. The event will take place in a high security system where medical and resque services will be able to be on standby in great numbers. Additionally both participants have the option to yield or warp away forfeiting the duel but preserving the lives of their crew.
Additionally, given the very short duration of the event and the lack of need for long term ship maintenance and quality of life services, most of my crew will be evacuated to the nearest space station, with only a handful of volunteers tasked with critical duties during combat remaining on board. I assure you that having talked to them, not a single one of them would have it any other way.
Finally, according to the agreed upon rules, I am announcing the ship type of my choice. I will fight in a Thorax class cruiser. I am eagerly awaiting Nooey's choice. ________________

in a frigate you'd have to rely on having some actual ability, rather than mwd on, blasters on, mwd off, release drones, web scramble.
Because ofcourse, that's the definition of modern tactics, hey Shemar?
As for any concerns regarding my crew, i normally pilot an interceptor for that precise reason.
Shemar, you made your own bed. Hell, after Nooey kills you, maybe i'll come kill you myself. Maybe i'll promote him, for doing the Intergalactic Summit a service, and shutting your mouth.
We'll see, i suppose.

For a group that pretends to be about actions and not words you sure talk a lot about what you would like to do.
Still waiting for Nooey to declare his ship of choice, as per the rules. I would hate to see him forfeit on a technicality. ________________

Edited by: Shemar on 20/05/2006 11:33:26 The rules he agreed to. Any failure to comply is an automatic forfeit. If he had any objections he should have stated them before accepting:
Originally by: Shemar I prefer that the participants declare their ship selections prior to fitting, but if Nooey does not want that, fine with me.
Originally by: Nooey I really don't care about conditions.
...
Consider this my official acceptance Shemar. On one simple condition, since you have so many of your own.
As far as I am concerned it is clear he accepted all conditions. It would be interesting to see if he uses that as a way to back out of the duel... ________________

Some old-fashioned duelling! It's sounds almost like a scene from a holo-reel -- all we're missing is Johnny D. Wrayne doing his famous micro-jump attack. "Drone this, pilgrim!" (Hehe, loved those old holoreels when I was a kid. Best stuff ever to come out of the Gallentean movie network if you ask me.)
Would love to see this in person, but alas I'm a poor girl, got to work to keep my ship fuelled, no time for running off watching spectacles. I'd love a broadcast though although I don't think my gold feed subscription include the Glamour Syndicate holofeed by default. Haven't the infolink at hand right now -- how's your coverage into Minmatar space, Mr Shemar?

Ms. Starkiel,
This event will be available for live broadcast in all areas the GEN (the Glamour Entertainment Network) is available and that includes Minmatar space. It will be however a Pay-Per-View service and not part of the regular GEN subscription, save the Premium package.
It will also be available, in a future date in holoreel format.
Thank you for your interest  ________________

"As far as I am concerned it is clear he accepted all conditions. It would be interesting to see if he uses that as a way to back out of the duel..."
I see him agree on the stated conditions. Which include "participants may choose to disclose their ship selection, but don't have to".
And out of you two, i only see one person already talking about the duel not happening due to technicalities, and that person is not Nooey.
"Just in case there is any confusion I will elaborate on that. The official GLS dueling rules for ship selection state: (..) They can also decide whether they are to disclose their choices prior to fitting or not.""
I marked the relevant part there for you, for easier reading.
It says "they" can decide (on their own, respectively) not "one of participant decides for both".
In addition, you said yourself earlier in the very post i linked to: "I prefer that the participants declare their ship selections prior to fitting, but if Nooey does not want that, fine with me."
Seems you're changing your mind rapidly on the matter as the time approaches and push is about to come to shove. How... Gallente.
"Nooey agreed to all the conditions, including all my preferences regarding optional rules."[/i]
He agreed on duel conditions. Your preferences though aren't part of it but merely that, your personal preferences. And the very rules you cite allow each participant to have their own preference that doesn't affect the other.

Please don't make this about nationality j0sephine. I am a Gallente (albeit a posthuman revolutionary guerilla anarchist gallente) but I'm just as unimpressed by the wriggling and pathetic legalistic manouverings as you are.
Just fight the man Shemar. Turn up in whatever ship you want to fly. Nooey turns up in whatever ship he wants to fly - warp to a planet and finish the thing. Demanding to know his ship choice before the duel is weak.

No you are misinterpreting the rules. The optionl rules are not to be followed or not based on personal preference, they are to be decided by both participants prior to the duel at which point they become part of the rules.
So when you say: Originally by: j0sephine It says "they" can decide (on their own, respectively) not "one of participant decides for both".
your interpretation is wrong. The correct interpretation is "both parties mutually agree" and not "on their own, respectively" or, of course "one of participant decides for both"
For this proccess I stated all my personal preferences of options for Nooey. He accepted them as they were, offering no objections. If he wanted the ship choice to remain unknown all he had to do was state that he did not wish that option (or any of the other options) active. I made it clear that it would not be a deal breaker. However once he accepted the set of options as stated, I expect him to follow them to the letter. I had no problem being the first to declare my choice allowing Nooey to not only choose his fittings but also the ship he will fly with that knowledge at hand.
In any case I don't see Nooey complaining and I am sure he does not need rules lawyers to get this done. This is not a set of rules made specifically for this duel, it is part of a continuous and pre-existing effort within the GLS to create a playing field as even as possible for dueling.
Unless Nooey himself has an issue, I will bother with this no further. Any explanations on rules interpretation provided to third parties are more than adequate. ________________

"No you are misinterpreting the rules. The optionl rules are not to be followed or not based on personal preference, they are to be decided by both participants prior to the duel at which point they become part of the rules."
I don't see anything in these rules stating something to such effect.
If you can't write duel rules in clear manner, that's your problem and no one else's. And since you're at the same time a participant in duel *and* author of these rules, any post-fact interpretations you provide are dubious, at best, and look like pathetic wriggling at worst.
"In any case I don't see Nooey complaining and I am sure he does not need rules lawyers to get this done."
Am sure he also doesn't need your false concern over 'if he would possibly try to back out of duel on technicalities'. Trying to publicly pin one's own cowardice to the other side involved in duel... that comes as low as it can go.
Just shut up on the matter and get on with fight. Or admit you have no guts for it, rather than look for excuses.

The duel is scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday the 21st at 22:00 EVE standard time. The location will be close to Kaaputenen (this is not arbitrary, I tried to split the distance between where I hand out and Omerta HQ, since I don't really know where Nooey is). If the location is not convenient Nooey can let me know about it.
The exact loactions will be revealed to the paying viewers prior to the duel. I strongly recommend that you are in the area at least 30 minutes prior to the duel start time, so that you can easily travel to the designated location.
Having said this, the tickets are now on sale. Forwards payments of 50000 ISK per person to me. If you purhase more than one ticket or buying a ticket for somebody else please make sure that you include their exact pilot callsign.
In the event that the duel is cancelled or one of the participants fails to appear or forfeits, full ticket price refunds will be made, but travel time and expances will not be refunded. ________________

To be honest the Glamour Syndicate dueling rules have offended my sense of honour Shemar. They are obviously intended to allow cowardly dogs to walk away from challenges on their bellies under the covering fire of legal suits rather than ensuring a prompt and satisfying exchange of weapons fire. Therefore I'd like to challenge you to a duel as well!
And before we get a load of belly-aching about the loss of crews and inhumane nature of the thing, yes, I'm very happy to fly an Interceptor against you so its nobody else's life at stake in the thing.
Here's my rules.
2 of us warp to a planet in a 0.0 system. Only one ship comes back. The end.

If in your head "If I feel like it I reveal my ship but if I don't I keep it a secret" makes more sense than "Either we both reveal our ships or neither does" as a rule that's your problem. ________________

I don't fly interceptors. A duel with you has very little commercial value and even if it did, I am not stupid enough to announce my scheduled presence in a low sec or 0.0 system. I have nothing to gain by dueling you. ________________

I'd be happy to use a larger ship you can fly Shemar. And really, I suspect you overvalue your own reputation grotesquely if you think there'd be many people waiting to eliminate you the moment you arrived in a 0.0 system. 0.0 is not the terrifying hive of bloodshed and arbitary instant murder you seem to think it is Shemar, if you'd paid a little more attention during those Starfraction orientation lectures you might know this 
Anyway, my challenge is not about your financial bottom line Shemar. Its because I think you're a big fat legalistic poltroon trying to wriggle and worm your way out of what should be a pretty simple engagement.
If you don't have the courage to fight then fair enough. I think people can draw their own conclusions as to your worth henceafter. Don't say I never gave you the chance to step up though

Following the rules agreed upon, especially after I have done my part is not too much to ask Jasmine. I am sure Nooey is not that petty anyway and the point is moot.
As for dueling you, Jasmine, you missed the entire point. I have nothing to gain. Say I kill your ship, so what? Where is the profit? Where is the incentive to go to all the trouble and risk resources? I certainly don't have strong enough feelings about you to make it worth my time just for the pure satisfaction of it.
If you want a fair duel in high sec, so people can freely attend and I can sell tickets and take bets and are willing to wait a couple of weeks so that viewers do not get flooded with new material and lose interest, I'll give you your duel. And the rules do provide for not disclosing what ship you will fly, all you have to do is ask for that option before agreeing to a set of options, if me knowing what you will fly is such a big threat to you. ________________

Jasmine knows very well that I have spent time in 0.0. I still have assets up in the North. I am quite capable of going anywhere I want but frankly I don't see the incentive.
As for "And really, I suspect you overvalue your own reputation grotesquely if you think there'd be many people waiting to eliminate you" it's funny coming from the woman wanting to shoot me on a topic about another man also going to great lengths to shoot me. ________________

Being able to provide your opponent with information abot ship you plan to use or to withold it from them, while leaving them full choice if they reciprocate... allows for simple and very flexible set of handicaps applied to fight. Considerably more broad than "i'll show you mine if you show me yours" mindest that dominates playgrounds.
Hardly a problem, and far from something too complicated for the 'reasonable adult' to grasp...

Edited by: Shemar on 20/05/2006 15:52:50 The rules are designed for fair fights, not providing handicaps to either side*. The issue never came up with any of the duels arranged within GLS and allies. I do not disagree that if I wanted to safe-guard against people trying to abuse the rules we would have to make the writing a lot more specific and complicated, but frankly I have no interestd in dealing with or catering to people who would do that.

For the very reason you claim to be most crucial to you -- to ensure 'fair fight'. That's what handicaps are for.
It's rare for both combatants to be equally skilled. Are you telling me if you were to duel someone you know to be considerably weaker, you wouldn't grant them such handicap to even the odds?

With the risk of sounding like some Amarr noble, I must say that's just barbaric! Destroying each other's ships (stripped of crew) is one thing. A test of skill, then metal scraps floating in space. I could pay to watch that.
Going to 0.0 space must be for one reason only -- to avoid the long arm of the law if you fire on the other's helpless pod. What's the skill in firing at a pod? This kind of "honour" should have been left behind a thousand years ago. Murder is what it is, nothing more nothing less.
Don't know either of the combattants or what grudges are involved and it doesn't really matter to me to be honest. But a nice, exiting old-fashioned duel I could enjoy watching. If I wanted to see someone murder another human I'd go get a snuff-reel over the counter at some station bazaar ...

Obviously our definition of 'fair fight' differs. For me it means allowing each participant to fight to the outmost of their capabilities not tailoring the rules so that they both have equal chances.
In a case where I am dueling a friend we may agree on special rules to offset potential unfairness (although, again, it has never really come up as with friends the duel is about learning not about who wins) but I can't possibly see a reason in a duel with an 'enemy'. I certainly would never ask for an advantage regardless of skill level and I can't of course speak for Nooey but I am pretty sure he is not interested in claiming his skill is inferior to mine, so again the point is moot.
Besides, measuring 'skill level' is quite arbitrary. The only possible way to get a comparative mesure would be by compairing which pilot has had their license for longer but there are so many factors that make that unusable as we all bring radically different percentages of skills that are of absolutely no use to a fight. ________________

I don't understand; what you say sounds like fighting with no handicap to either side is "fair" to you no matter how big the skill difference of these involved... except when you are dueling a friend, in which case this just-a-second-ago "fair" fight with no handicaps can be considered exactly opposite of "fair", and an offset needs to be introduced to make up for it?
You are indeed right, our definitions of "fair" differ quite a bit. Mine doesn't change depending on wheter you like person involved, or not...

Don't twist what I said. I have never fought a duel where any of the participants asked for any kind of handicap, nor have I ever considered it. If a friend of measurable lower capabilities asked me to modify the rules to give him an unfair advantage so that he would have a better chance of winning I would consider it, although, again, it has never come up and I still don't see why anyone would ask for that. ________________

One does what one must, I guess.
Care to put your ISK where your mouth is? I am still taking bets against me 
500k on Nooey, to be covered by Shemar.
I would expect that to be sufficient to cover the entrance fee, since you're sure you'll win. I'd love to watch, but since CONCORD and I don't see eye-to-eye on what's a valid target, I'll be content with a FTL feed.

Originally by: Shemar Excellent. I see you did not blindly choose to put your trust in inferior Caldari technology. It will be a glorious fight!
Or he could fit the finest the State has to offer, and slaughter you mercilessly.
If he wants to draw it out, we aren't going to stop him. You'll just suffer longer.

No-one would question you Yuki - I fail to see though why you'd point out the obvious.
All cruisers can wipe targets out if fitted correctly. Hell, I reckon a well fitted blackbird could take on a Megathron quite nicely.

The other 20m on the pod will just go to Nooey when he *****s the egg.

The duel took place in front of a live audience and was broadcast live for all GEN premium and pay-per-view subscribers.
The winner is Shemar. No objections as to the result were filed so the result is deemed final.
Stay tuned for the release of the battle in holoreel format.
Steiner, I will be expecting your payment of 10 million ISK. Feel free to verify the result with DeadRow who oversaw the duel or Nooey himself. ________________

Originally by: Shemar Following the rules agreed upon, especially after I have done my part is not too much to ask Jasmine. I am sure Nooey is not that petty anyway and the point is moot.
As for dueling you, Jasmine, you missed the entire point. I have nothing to gain. Say I kill your ship, so what? Where is the profit? Where is the incentive to go to all the trouble and risk resources? I certainly don't have strong enough feelings about you to make it worth my time just for the pure satisfaction of it.
If you want a fair duel in high sec, so people can freely attend and I can sell tickets and take bets and are willing to wait a couple of weeks so that viewers do not get flooded with new material and lose interest, I'll give you your duel. And the rules do provide for not disclosing what ship you will fly, all you have to do is ask for that option before agreeing to a set of options, if me knowing what you will fly is such a big threat to you.
Okay then. Agreed. We can use your hisec security flagging bypass to fight in Hisec if you like and you can make whatever you like of the proceedings Shemar. We can certainly wait a couple of weeks. I would like no prior declaration of ship types or module category limitations obviously. I'm happy to call it non-faction tech1 cruisers as the engagement. I would prefer a random engagement range 15-80 as the start point and this can be achieved by simply simultaneously picking a warp in distance while moving to the same celestial object.
Please let me know how you feel about this and lets talk about a potential date.

I agree on principle Jasmine. I do have a couple of issues, one that my preferred dueling style is now known to you and two that the actual ticket sales were a bit dissapointing. We can fix one if you agree to known ship types or are willing to wait a bit so I can figure out and possibly train something different. Number two is really my problem and since I did offer you a duel I won't back out on account of that. ________________

Let's wait and see if I still have a crew willing to do this, after my duel with Jasmine and if I can make this in any way financially viable (the only reason the current show was profitable was the bets people took against me) and we'll talk.  ________________

I avoid talking about it Marie because I am not really into bragging, it's done and over with. The holoreel will come with commentary from me and, if Nooey wishes to provide his own perspective, Nooey also, for those interested enough to pay the 10k price.
Nooey, if you do feel like writing a short text describing the duel from your point of view, send it to me and I will include it in the product, unedited and uncensored. ________________

I think its fair to say that you and I both now have publicly-known duelling styles Shemar, and lets face it, we are both Gallente born and bred and such tastes and pecadillos in starship options leave little room for surprise.
Still, I do believe that an element of risk and excitement is essential for the true practise of honourable restitution so in the interests of better stimulating your anticipations in this regard I'd strongly suggest we refrain from prior discussion of ship hull type against the possibility that one or both of us decide at the last minute to abandon the luxurious lines and mod cons of gallente starship engineering and decide to slum the occassion in something of retro polished brass styling, something made of spars and spare parts or indeed the multi-angled kitsch the Caldari seem to love.
Or to cut a long story short. Its likely to be a Thorax lets face it, just as I imagine you are likely to pilot one as well. But lets keep the mystery and leave one or both of us the option of surprising the other. Racial ECM and specific anti ship tactics are powerful but power should go with risk in this regard, and if one feels like gambling on the outcomes with choice in technology then lets ensure there is actually a gamble to be had, no?

*smiles* I think you might be a little disappointed in the confidence a galnet undertaking from a notorious anarchist guerrilla corporation of outlaws and scoundrels might give you in the intellectual property rights courts in the federation Shemar ... but as you wish, of course I'm happy for you to sell the holovids.
By the by, if you are a little worried by the profit you stand to make then I can suggest a side bet between the two of us to the tune of shall we say ... 200m isk?
I'd imagine a seasoned and successful duellist of your calibre would feel mightily confident after despatching the last challenger mr Shemar - why not spice the occassion further with a sensible wager.

It seems I have more faith in your word than you Jasmine, as your word is all I need, I do not expect you to go back on it.

I am beginning to wonder Jasmine, if you are trying to con a simple photographer out of his hard earned cash. A wager is quite different from profit and I have no illusions as to our comparative skill levels. Taking bets against me vs. Nooey was a reasonable business decision. A duel against you is far less likely to end in my favor and I do not feel it is a sound investment. 
I am smart enough to not let this one event go to my head and to know that there is very little margin between a convincing victory and utter defeat. In other words, my ego is much cheaper than 200m 
I guess we might as well go ahead and schedule the duel for two weeks from now then. Sunday, 20:00? I live in Sinq Laison now, so I leave it up to you to find a relatively close spot that is also convenient for you.
Just one more thing Jasmine... since you agreed to the GLS duelling procedure (except the initial range determination), why exactly do you want to fight me? ________________

Originally by: Jasmine Constantine Date/time seems fine. As for the place, I'd prefer a place within half a dozen jumps of Rens if we are doing the empire thing. Ideally not too busy a system to keep the ship responsiveness up.
...
And I frankly can't resist a fight. 
Very well, I can arrange that. I will send you the location a couple of days prior so you can set up at your leisure.
Frankly, the only reason I am fighting you Jasmine is because I said I would and I don't go back on my word (even though if I wanted to get technical I could reject your random initial range clause), so I intend to keep this one low key. I honestly do not see any potential for profit or personal satisfaction and I intend to put the lives of my crew above my ego, if and when it comes to that. ________________

Just to correct the facts, since people seem intent on talking about it, Nooey's blasterax was using the ECM drones. The reason he did not get a shot is because I stayed out of his range. I barely got any shots myself as I was jammed for the most part. My combat drones were the only thing doing damage. ________________

You are quite within your rights to warp away if it comes to that Shemar of course. And technically (if indeed we are being technical) the whole basis of mutual acceptance of arbitary rules sets is no binding legalistic treatise simply an agreement between spacers to do things in a particular way. While you were in nowise bound to accept my challenge its wrong to cite legal technicalities as an option since such things very literally do not exist.
Anyways, I'll look forward to the contest and goddess willing there'll be no foolish loss of life and an entertaining engagement beyond.

I wonder how Nooey is taking this rather humiliating loss. I hope he's keeping quiet because he's being noble and owning up to his end of the bargin, because I fear there could be other explanations for why he's so silent. I just hope Yuki isn't teasing him. If this or similar happened to Yuki or I while we were Reikoku pilots, the mass jeering and and alliance wide humiliation would have amounted to ritual suicide, I'm sure.

I can't help but get a laugh at the whole disuse of "inferior Caldari technology", but Shemar's ships used railguns, which are very much a Caldari weapon, whereas Nooey used Blasters, a Gallente weapon.
Oh the amusement in looking back at some of these comments.

I was expecting it to be a typical Thorax blaster stand-off, which is why I voiced no objection to Nooey's loadout choice when he mentioned it in passing. And it really is their thing anyway, so I'd rather not get too involved in it. I think Shemar proved that he has some degree of smarts (however small that measurement may be), and since he was under Nooey's command before, I didn't think it was entirely impossible for this to happen, even if I did put my faith in poor Nooey.
Anyway, I don't personally believe duels prove anything. They only briefly settle disputes maybe - and I'm sure some people have enjoyed the relative peace and quiet.
(Also, I do find what Zenobia-haan pointed out to be slightly amusing, even though railgun technology is shared between the two nations).

Unless of course he has chosen to end his life as a member of O-Syn, which would be perfectly honorable and understandable. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Though I must say it would be unfair to say anything other than that under those rules Shemar applied his greys nicely. I still am curious to know how he'll do in engagements where he doesn't know what he's facing, though. That's my one disappointment with this whole affair.

Indeed, it's very amusing to see people characterize railguns, for which Gallente ships have specific performance enhancements to the same degree as they do for blasters, as "Caldari wepaons".

Malthros and Kyoko: This kind of thinking is exactly what will destroy the Caldari in the event of a war, just as it cost Nooey dearly. It does not matter how effective a typical ship loadout is, when it becomes predicatble it is doomed to fail. The Thorax cruiser is not the best cruiser because it can be loaded with blasters for extreme damage output, it is the best cruiser becaue of it's unmatched tactical flexibility. In any case, if you really think that any Caldari cruiser can match it, feel free to ask for a tryout.
As for the petty comments Kyoko, I will leave the judgement of each side's behavior before and after the duel to others. ________________

Is that so? Bring a Thorax and I'll bring you a surprise. (No, not ECM.)
Up for it?

That is quite one sided Tatsue and just illustrates my point that under equal terms the Thorax is unmatched. I am sure there are ways to defeat a Thorax with a generic by necessity setup, using a very specialized setup and the knowledge of what you are facing as an advantage. The Thorax is good, but it is not 'that' good. ________________

personally i like the fact both races can use blasters and rails, its shows a common ancestry of our cutural development

Well Shemar, I'd let you know what I'd be flying...
Because quite simply: Rax blaster fit = dead. Rax rail fit = dead. Rax drone-and-run fit = dead.
Easily defeated by ECM of course, but I can't think of any other way to beat it with a Rax in a one-versus-one scenario.
My point, of course, being that labelling the Rax as a superior tool because it can alternate between close and long range fits, or slow high-power or fast low-power fits is... Well... Something all cruisers can do and the Rax is not best at it.

With my uncertain schedules: if you want to come to Curse, definitely. If not, we'll have to see when I can actually get into empire.

I am not sure there is a point since you already told me how to beat you, although there is always the possibility you are bluffing, but if you feel like a friendly test let me know  ________________

Originally by: Marie Trudeau Indeed, it's very amusing to see people characterize railguns, for which Gallente ships have specific performance enhancements to the same degree as they do for blasters, as "Caldari wepaons".
Sheesh, some people! Don't you agree?
When people want an effective rail frig, they go harpy, when they want an effective rail cruiser, they go eagle.
When you want a Battleship that really shows you how to use railguns, you go with... well, lets just say the ship you'd goo with Rocs. 
Railguns are made for death from afar, and we show you how to get that done.
When you want superior firepower, you go Caldari, when you want to get up close and personal, and/or use extremely buggy weaponry, you go blasters and drones, the Gallente way.

A thorax is unmatched in flexibility?
You think the Moa is a one trick pony?
The Caracal is, but a well tanked Caracal can take down a blaster thorax, let alone a less damage intensive railship.
And you won't be hitting very well from a Caracal's optimal in a thorax.

The Gallente way is to use what will kill you most efficiently and our ships are made to accomodate that. We don't need to read "ship fittings for dummies", that's your thing. It makes me extremely happy to see you unable to grasp basic warfare concepts. Please maintain your current though patterns. ________________

People like you make me think that the Federation has a good chance against the State in the upcoming conflagrations, despite being outnumbered, to be honest.
The key thing to understand about Gallente ships, Malthros, is that they are flexible. You can use rails or blasters and receive the same augmented results either way. Certain Gallente ships work extremely well with railguns, such as the Taranis, the Enyo and, yes, the Thorax. Assuming that your Gallente foe is using blasters can lead to a quick death, in fact. ---------------------------

That's probably best, because heavens knows I've tried to completely sweep off your accomplishment as worthless. Meaningless in the grand scheme of things, maybe, but not worthless. I don't like you, sure, but that means you should be all the more glad you got any decent commentary out of me.
This event was supposed to shut people up, but it hasn't done that yet. So let's shut up already.

As far as I am concerned this event was about using Nooey's desire to shoot me, to make some money.  ________________

hmmm, Sorry to say, but I suspected Shemar would win this from the beginning. Usually the hot headed and anxious folk loose the fight in the end.
I was considering betting 50 million on Shemar when this fiasco started, but I didnt want to risk it. Too bad though, I wouldve been right to do so.
Just goes to show you. Hybrids kill dem fast.

Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari I would expect that Nooey is packing up to leave, but it seems that Omerta hasn't yet bothered to eject him...you should really get around to that, don't want to give him mixed messages or anything.
Unless of course he has chosen to end his life as a member of O-Syn, which would be perfectly honorable and understandable.
See, that's the difference between our two organizations - where you see a failed pilot, we see a pilot in need of a Moa...

Are you sure dear?
Quote: An interesting move for you Kaleigh. Perfectly timed as well, as I need a new Thorax.
Maybe its just that...

And this why I chose to learn how to fly all ships and not just one or two races. But then again most people consider me a filthy pirate due a lack of racial loyalty and a general disdain for things resembling order.
