Thread: So...a Jedi runs from you and lives...How does that make them a sissy?

On my second day as a Jedi Paddy, I was wasted by a BH...Since that day, I haven't hidden or anything, but I am not a fan of dying for pride. In my time as a Jedi, I have killed over 40 BH's, some were tough, others were easy, and I have always stood my ground. All of a sudden this one dude shows up and gives me a really tough fight and it took forever to kill him. Dude comes back and after another 7 minutes of pounding on each other and his HAM barely moving I decided I'd rather live than take the chance of dying.Since pub 19, healing is really more a matter of timing than skills for a Jedi and stims are a must.So, I took off and he sents a tell "I'm going to tell people you are a runner." Hmmmm...Trying to make my pride take over for common sense? So he then tells me he won't hunt me anymore and sure enough dude shows up everywhere I do the rest of the night...I sent a tell back saying...You do your job and I'll do mine.He continues calling me a runner and saying how I have no honor. The last time I checked I was the one who killed him the first time. So anyway, I wanted to get a take from all of you regarding this. Just because a Jedi decides to live doesn't make them weak. SWG is in a freaking BETA phase if you haven't noticed and I'm not dying just so some dude can say I stood my ground and died well. It seems kinda silly to me...CARBZMessage Edited by Carbcrafter on 07-14-2005 11:12 AM

well first, i seeno reason for you to run ANYMORE. Pre cu you got buffs and frs ranking(if you were knight) and your food. Now frs is turned off and nobody uses buffs. that bh had the same reason to run as you did, proball ymore because of decay on his armor. you had no reason to run actually
ya that's what makes me mad, yesterday i went after a 226k mark by myself and lasted about 2 or 3 minutes, then the jedi, who spent his entire grind on kashyyyk and joined a reputable imperial guild for protection during the grind and his main is unknown, so he didn't pvp or have any form of skills prior to finishing his template, decides to start insulting me and telling me, "you do know 225-6k are full template", and thati'm the worst bounty hunter ever, etc, i said "log on your normal and we'll see how long you last," to that he just ignored me and left

Weeeell, according to traditional rules of battle, the fleeing side is considered to be cowardly.
Especially if the running side is known for transforming into bigmouthes once his payout exeeds 200K.

You are right, I will go meditate all day at the BH terminals...Good plan...Perhaps once I get -10 million xp and am maxed on the negative I can start to enjoy the dying more. Good plan...
Ummmm....Are you kidding?
As for the FRS, I am only a paddy with a maxed template. No bonuses.

I think it was more frustration that made him call you a coward. I am a BH and I have the understanding that when BH come for targets..some will run others will fight, but The main point of a bounty is for the criminal to try to escape by any means necessary, so I dont regard it as cowardice, just survival.... but man is it a pain in the ass when a mark runs.
ya its the bh's fault for not saving a root or keeping you snared

That isn't cool, regardless of how the person grinded Jedi, that is a scumbag. Don't insult the Jedi who are grinding that way now, it doesn't make them lesser Jedi. What makes any person worth anythign is class in my book and that person sounds like trash to me.

I dont mind people who are grinding running but i do mind full template jedi running from me. I have had two marks today. A 220k and a 226k both of them ran after i had emptied their mind bar.
They have nothing to loose from dying when full template so why do they refuse to give me what i deserve?
A Jedi's HAM and force bar is like bullets in a gun. If you were to run out of bullets in a fight would you stand there and let someone kill you? Ooooop, outta bullets, no more will to live. It would be more like what chair or object can throw at this dudes head and get to a safe location or find more bullets.
Give you what you deserve??? This is a funny way to look at it. "I deserve" is a purely 100% selfish perspective thinking only of you. That is your opinion. If a hitman knocked on your door today and said "Hi, I'm here to kill you, would you stand there or do your best to kill him while seeking a safe place to rest???
It is nice to hear that you are a classy BH, so keep that up for sure...
