Thread: How many of your deaths are YOUR fault?

1) Fail to hit my opening sequence properly.
2) Fail to use KD at the best time, hitting it just because I can.
3) Fail to refill my toolbar with food/spice, or fail to uncrate things if I'm running low.
4) Forget to check my inventory to make sure I have the foods/spices I think I have.
5) Do stupid things like try to switch weapons during combat.
6) Wait around for a Jedi to return after he runs off, when his force bar has recharged. (I GET SO MAD AT MYSELF OVER THIS!)
There are some fights you just won't win, but 90% of my losses are directly attributable to stupid stuff that I do myself.
All of them, thats how the learning curve goes. When I don't make a mistake and die its still my fault, I can't expect to win all the time.
I would like to blame most of them on lag but as this seems to be an "Honesty" thread I suppose I should own up to them all.
Common errors on my part include: Forgetting to uncrate food, pups etc before I start, forgetting the synthsteak when I am KD, not checking the number of uses left on pups, not /burstrunning to apply db,hunting while overt (stupid, stupid and more stupid)and suxing at PvP.
Also I am known to prefer food to SWG so when food arrives in the middle of a fight I do tend to /sit, unequip my rifle and armour and /say "gtg eat now, help yourself to some pwnage while i'm gone" (I have that macro'd). Once I came back after eating and the Jedi was jsut sitting there waiting for me, but that was only once 
. (and she handed it to me after we resumed the fight 
so I got no benefit from her honour).

Of course none of them 
I blame everything on exploiting jedi, laggy connections/servers, imbalancing etc 
I am t3h w1nz0r... how can someone beat me fair??? That's not possible ...

Man, I've done all of that.
About number 6, I never let a Jedi dictate when or where a fight will take place - it's not his role. Either he bails and I play chase, or I peel off and get him another time.
The only times it isn't my fault is when l get a nasty lag-spike and miss aknockdown recovery or bactashot.
Biggest single mistake I make: forgetting to refresh duelist stance as soon as I get rooted.
Second biggest mistake: getting rooted.

True
, however a good Jedi template allows one a greater margin of error..
