You guys know all those "most memorable BH kill" and "best jedi fight" threads? Well, how about posting your most embarassing losses? NPC's or Jedi alike, post away. These kind of stories are more fun that victory stories anyway.
I had two of thesetoday....
Embarassing BH Failure #1: Aroun 11 PM, I picked up a mission on a Rebel Jedi (imp 4 life) like usual from Kaadara. I got the biosig, launched my probe droid, and recieved a Tatooine target, so i took my Yacht into Bestine to see where he was. He was just outside of a Rebel player city on my server called Light Haven. Since i was banned there (and at all the nearest cities as well,) i shuttled into an Imperial town called Shaolin about 3km away from my target. Even though my Identify droid didn't give me a name, I started swooping to him, and in about 4 minutes i got to him. I popped Breath of Heaven/Canape/Crispic/Vegeparsine/Booster Blue and moved in for the fight.
Now, I'm an MCM/MBH/Pistoleer 0004 with a deadly DL44 XT, so my usual 1v1 when the Jedi isn't already engaged goes like this: paralyze, traumatize, thyroid rupture, paralyze, electrolyte drain, fire, stopping shot, poison, damage FTW. I had a great fight with this jedi. I thought i was going down a few times, but a few exo-protein wafers and duelist stance kept me going. In the end, i had this jedi down to about 10% mind while my mind was up around 50%. Game over, right? Nope. He pulls out the stasis and hits advanced force run and is gone in a flash. (master enhancer? more like master combat avoider...)
Damn,was i pissed off by then. I threw up seekers and see him running towards Bestine, but by the time my seekers actually updated, he was too far away for me to catch him (banned at all the closest shuttles). So, a few minutes after he jumps planet, i throw out an Arakyd to try and track him down one more time. After waiting at Bestine SP for a few more minutes, my droid gives me Corellia. From the waypoint's coordinates, i could tell he was in or near Tyrena (both negative numbers... 3rd quadrant. go trigonometry!) so i shuttled in and saw he was about 1.5km away. I figured he was house sitting, but i decided to try anyway. I flew into his town, and saw that he was hiding in his guild hall. I was about to leave when he popped out to fight (a noble move rarely seen from jedi, even full templates like this guy) so i took all my foods again, pulled on my armor, and we went head to head. This time, i pretty much owned him. After only healing once, he was at 50% mind. I figured the fight was on lockdown. I keep blasting away and see my health going down a bit. I go for my second heal and... i click advanced duelist stance. while it charges up, he hits me with saber leg hit for 1k damage, killing me with almost full mind. I almost threw my mouse.
I'll save the second one for later... it's a lot shorter but a lot more embarassing lol! Throw up your funniest losses, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the reads!!

Squillcave many eons ago:
I shot a jedi, he feigned death.
His 2 friends, one a knight, other rifleman owned my mindpool.
And then my mark got back up and DBed me.

I was fighting a jedi , we had been battling it out for about 15 minutes , His force must have been low and his mind was around 1/4 full, i had been using stim D and bacta alternated so my mind had stayed high. I was getting closer to defeating him when he used kd, so i quickly use kd recover. "you cannot knockdown recover while knocked down". Oh no, sohitting KD recover as much as a can . nope . after about 30 seconds he incaps me.

Game over

Yeah, KD recovery bug seems the most heinous one plagueing the game right now, yet we hear nothing about a fix for it. Anyway, that's a good lead-in to my second story. This one is short and sweet.
Kaadara, rebel mission, biosig, droid, Tatooine. I shuttle into Bestine to find my target in the lower left corner of Tat, 4km from the nearest shuttle. My identify droid ACTUALLY gives me the name of the Jedi. It's a relatively newfriend of mine, a wookiee Jedi who i tried hunting before and lost to in a 1v1 fight. I figure he must be doing something that would give me an edge out there, so i swoop all the way to him. Sure enough, as i approach 200 meters, i see a few dead Krayt and i see damage numbers going up over a Krayt dragon in the distance. So, hoping he had been fighting a while, i hop off my bike, take all my food and drink, and charge in.
Sure enough, the Jedi is at, i kid you not, 20% mind and 40% action. I practically jumped out of my seat. I burst ran into range, hit him with a fire, ran up and gave him traumatize and electrolyte drain real quick, backed off and started firing. Within 20 seconds he had used the last of his mind, and the Krayt was still attacking him. I figured i could have taken off all of my armor and used nothing but ranged shot and still taken him down. Hell, a CL 1 dancer could have taken this guy down at this point. But no... he charges me and knocks me down. That's okay, i think, figuring ill pop up, hit a bacta and finish the job. "Can not Knockdown Recovery while knocked down." I took a deep breath, waited for the cooldown to run, and hit it again. Usually when i spam it, it doesn't work. "Can not Knockdown Recovery while knocked down." 5 seconds later, i was dead.
Since we were friends, we talked about the "fight" afterwards. I explained that i wanted to hang myself. He said next time. I said yeah right.
FIX KD BUG!!!

One time , I launched my arakyd and got my target on talus, So i fly to talus and hes out in the middle of nowhere, so i figure hes hunting or something. as i get closer , i buff up and barc in , as he comes into view i see hes being aggrod by 3 akuans (level 77+), he has low mind and about 1/2 health, so I barc in , dive off while still moving press tab and hit fan shot by accident. its next to adv crit. Oh no big misatke, the 3 akuans leave him and run after me. as there chasing me around he just roots me and then its game over, im dead in what 10 seconds.

I dueled a Jedi in the old system that had doc buffs and Jedi buffs. He killed me with 5 hits in what seemed like 4 seconds or less.

My target was hunting krayts in the NE end of Tatooine. I didn't really wait until he was vulnerable but just sort of attacked. It was obvious he didn't want to fight though so he started running. I knew he was trying to get me to follow him into the krayt lair. Then I realized, wait a minute, I'll follow him in and root him in there. I follow him in, my rootdoesn't stickand he roots me (my brain forgot to remind me that jedi can also root). Killed by krayts and I was pretty ticked off just because I knew the whole time I shouldn't follow him in there.
