Thread: Found a way to win duels (sometimes)
Or PvP, when it really matters.
Just accept that you will get owned

I forgot to mention it has to be a non buffed, NON ARMOR duel to! Which is the only kind of duel i try, lol.
This brings up an interesting point. I am a fan of duels without armor, and I will duel buffed or non buffed, both suit me just fine. However when I duel unbuffed I drink breath of heaven, take synthsteak and use that food that add 1k to your HAM (forget the name) and keep pixie and muon ready. In unbuffed duels I never lose because nobody else does this that I have fought. In fact they either don't use specials, or do a good amount of damage to themselves with their own specials.
But anyway, to my point. I began posting on my galaxy's board about gunfighter duels in the style of the old west gunfighters. Each person must be roughly equal (both buffed or both unbuffed), wear no armor or PSGs, cannot heal themselves and stands ten meters from their opponent, not moving at all during the fight. This is just like when two guys stand in the street and shoot each other down. True gunfighters, no armor, no running around in circles and no stopping to put on a band aid. These rules also have the advantage of preventing the duel going to whoever has the best Geo pistol and can use eyeshot.
I walk around in a gunman's duster and will accept duels from anybody else who is willing to follow those rules, and uses pistols as their only form of damage. I think this adds a little extra to the pistols as a weapon and involves us in our own form of PvP. Has anyone else seen or done anything like this and what were the results?

This leads me to find the best food setups etc. I'm not revealing my setup =D because I haven't lost a duel unbuffed in months with it. (even to combat medic riflemen)Some of you might know that the average roleplayer is not a great duelist/pvper, most aren't even double masters. (If they have mastered anything!) This kinda leads to some spite, such as I'm abusing the game mechanics in order to affect roleplay... Apparantly, I shouldn't POSSIBLY be able (in realistic terms) to beat four armored combatants who have come to arrest me in character.Kinda pissing me off, making me sick of roleplay. =P Sorry, ranting...

Five stars! Both of you!
