Approximately one day ago, a member of Muffin Factory entered local in the solar system Maut. This Pilot was the "Famous" (His words) 0o0Preatorian0o0. He proceeded to enter a sniper spot and start taking pot shots at passing ships. After seeing what he was up to and exchanging some lines of smack, I offered him a 1v1. This is where it gets entertaining. He immediately declines, stating that my current corporation is somehow dishonorable and that he had been tricked on his last duel. I stated that this duel had nothing to do with the past, it was the present. And that in all of the duels I had been in, I have NEVER broken the rules.
After several minutes of arguing in local, with some unkind words on my part, he states that all that he has to 1v1 is a Nighthawk. I agree to take it on, but he declines again. This time his excuse is that "I am a no-body" and that he is too well known, IN EVE-ONLINE, to be wasting his time on me.
Seriously, popularity or reputation does matter when you are going up against someone you don't really know in EVE, especially if it's a 1v1. But when someone claims to be too well known, and calls someone else a no-body, all respect is lost for that individual in my view. If you were really that great, you'll duel me. I don't know anything about Preatorian himself, but I've heard of his corporation. As well as running into several of their lowsec gatecamps.
All I've got to say is, 0o0Preatorian0o0, be a man and accept my offer. Enough with the empty excuses and smack, lets do this.

Hey, leave those poor muffins alone. And besides, if I got an offer to 1v1 from a corporation who had previously dishonored one, there's no way I would do another.
You said yourself, reputation does matter. Your corp has a bad rep. You suffer the consequences of that. So quit whining and get a cov ops and kill him the old fashioned way.

I should correct myself, It was not my corp that tricked him in his last 1v1. My corporation has a "good rep", and he has no reason to be afraid.

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding this, this line says that he had a bad experience with your current corporation with duels. If that's not the case, what exactly are you saying?
Not trying to be a jerk by the way. If your corp has been honorable in the past, and he's just making excuses, that's one thing. But this seems to say something else.

He states that my corporation is dishonorable without any proof. The duel he was tricked in was the most recent one he engaged in - nothing to do with my corp.

Ah, ok. Apologies if I didn't understand it correctly. Though I still think you should just do the cov-ops and try to catch him off guard.
But just incase you're wondering about the mentality, I do have some insight for you. Since I've recently gotten back into pirating (had 4.5 sec status a few weeks ago...not so much anymore!) I've stopped doing duels. It's really hard to find anyone that will honor them. Very few corps that I'd actually trust in all honesty...and half of them have disbanded. I haven't heard of you guys until now, so if I got offered the same thing from you I would refuse on the grounds of "no rep" rather than bad reputation.
Well, unless it was a kestrel duel. I think I could live with the loss if you wanted to dishonor that one 
Ok, back to your regular scheduled programming.

The rules are determined before the duel. Depending on the pilots and ships.

You seem to be missing the entire point of this post. Honor and respectability. North Eastern Swat have neither of these.

There's always a reason to be "afraid".
I would never do a 1 vs 1 because i do not trust anyone to honor that.
And i've never seen the fun in a 1 vs 1, i rather find someone in the belt and see what happens (bait, friends show up)

It's usually stupid to accept a 1v1, unless you can trust the guy, I learned the hard way.

First things off, if he doesnt want the 1vs1 theres no reason to try and force him, if he doesn't trust you guys, believe ne YOU can't make him change his mind.
As to how the declined was completely juvenile though, and it seems he was more afraid of you than actually thinking he was better.

Second quick post, just need to respond to this :
First off I think that IF he sees your corp as dishonorable, he really has no obligation what so ever to tell you why or how he thinks so.
If he wants to then fine, if he doesn't want to, it's his choice.

This was worth a thread! No, seriously. I think all EVE should know someone declined 1vs1.
I also decline 1vs1 with very very rare exceptions. Why? Because i dont trust 1vs1. 90% of 1vs1 ends up 1vs2-10. Noobs that cant catch you in space usually offer 1vs1 and then break it cause they are such a noobs, they cant kill you either. "we are honorable, we dont break 1vs1".. Maybe you are but tbh everyone is saying that, even those that break duel rules afterwards.
I also dont take duels because opponent might have prepared something special for me. Like a lot of racial jammers right for my race, or tank against my dmg types.
And i also dont take 1vs1 because i think its for newbs who cant get fight in other way as i mentioned earlier. Those who can get fights in other ways dont need 1vs1.

lol qtw!
1v1 = Myth. I won't fight 1v1 not because im scared, just because 90% end up as a trap and you get back stabbed.

So hold on... You're complaining that this person wouldn't duel you because he thought your corp was 'dishonourable' and yet:

To be honest, coming to the forums and complaining about someone refusing a 1v1 makes you look like the fool here. No offense...
