Anyway, I walk into the starport at Korvella and wait for the transport.. suddenly a overt dark jedi runs up to me but stops... he sees my master weaponsmith title and says he will spare me since I am a non-combatant (i took off my weapons and armor and switched to civilian clothes.. was kinda hoping to be killed so I lose overt and only had 15 minutes left on my buffs).
So I "thanked" him for sparing my life and we stand there waiting for the shuttle... 4 minutes to go... suddenly, his buffs end completely. He doesn't seem concerned at all though since I'm a humble weaponsmith and have no weapon.
Feeling a little smug, I move to 10m - about ideal range and stand there a moment... I rummage through my bag and take out mycustom madeThermal Detonators.
Seeing his unbuffed health, I toss 2 at him on a larff.... first one drops his life by 90% or so.. second one incaps him... then I delivered the DB right after.... funniest darn thing I have seen.. he only managed to swing once at me when he realized what happened (I have very good speed on my grenades, so I threw them quite fast).
Suffice it to say... I was quite pleased despite his obvious displeasure
the funniest thing about this whole post imo is..
A jedi showed you a little respect by not killing you when he could (good for him)
you killed said jedi while he was not expecting it (ok..good for you i guess)
that jedi will no longer show mercy to any player ever again.. ( not good for everyone else)
Bravo...........

Sun Tsu would say something along the lines of, "Fooling your opponent into a sense of false security and then bombing them shows that you have grasped the concept of strategy." War is deception. Suck it up.
I maintain that war does not excuse every act of deception, and does not imply complete destruction and murderas its goal. Killing the enemy at all costs is not the goal or object of war; victory is. Sun Tsu says this.
Sun Tsu was talking about bringing victory in battles swiftly (yes, by using deception)to avoid casualties, destruction, and other associated costs. Making your force look weak when it is strong, or unprepared when it isprepared is the Art of War. Sun Tsu was directing his treatise to leaders of war, and it deals by and large with battles and with numbers.
Agreeing on a truce and then attacking anyway is not the same thing.
Even those who support the act of the original poster give reasons why this goes against the Art of War, in that it supports complete and utter destruction of the enemy at all times and under all circumstances. Both sides learn not to give quarter or mercy, which only heightens the conflict, and war begins to fuel itself. In this scenario, victory cannot be achieved as Sun Tsu describes it.
Mercy is not only implied, butSun Tsuprescribes treating prisoners of warwith kindness. Heobviously does not condone complete and utter devastation of the enemy's forces.
So I think that you have taken Sun Tsu out of context.

What a great post and one I will remember for a long time to come. Great job and nuts to that Jedi trying to be all high and mighty and sparing peoples lives, serves his right for being stupid.

Got to admit...the original post is quite humorous!
I had a similar run in with 3 dark Jedi once in the Nightsister caves. My whole squad died and I was trying to get the hell out of there. On radar, I saw several red dots...and I assumed they were all nightsisters. I ran around the corner and blasted Flamecone2, next thing I knew I was on my back incapped and realized I nailed 3 dark jedi as well as several nightsisters. By the time I was able to get up, one dark jedi evedently died and the other 2 were very badly injured. I stood up, low health and a bit in shock as we stared at each other....
Braven: Thanks for no DB!
Dark Jedi: Yep...you owe us. Next time we'll kill you.
Braven: /flamcone2
--both Dark Jedi fall incap---
Braven: OK...we're even. Next time I'll kill you both!
Then I get a /tell from one of them "LMAO...good show!" Then I /burst ran the hell out before they got up.
My point...I didn't have to DB them to get my point across. It's kind of a Karma thing I guess.

If you where a Imp I could understand this backstab clear as day, but you are a rebel the "good guys"...

how do we know the DJK wasnt doing the samething? im sure he knew his buffs were gone in the next few moments. everyone knows that tags are broke and cant tell you crap really. he prolly did examine you and saw the combat badges.anyone with the CM tag will make a jedi nervous.im guessing he tried to act like a nice guy so you wouldnt attack him when his buffs went poof. otherwise im sure he would of smacked you down if he was prepared for a fight. any FR xp is better than none. what was your combat rating? if it is high thas just another reason to believe what i have posted. i quit reading halfway threw this thread so if someone mentioned that already, my bad.

This is war ladies, if your enemy approaches you do not wait to see what he is going to do, YOU ATTACK. There are two kinds of soldiers, the quick and the dead. If he was foolish enough to let you go knowing you are a rebel, and his enemy, then he deserved to be killed.
Good job soldier /salute
Carry on.

BTW, let's not forget, it's just a game.
