I’m with you mynx, an arranged 1v1 means tackle isn’t required. To the death was one of the rules. I’ve had people want to 1v1 and they ran when I lost point, which is shameful.

Good on you for honoring your word and that 1v1, Venom. Folks have different opinions about whether you are right to leave if the opponent can’t point you, but if you specified “no running away” then honoring your word means not running away no matter what. Personally, in a pre-arranged 1v1 I will never leave even if I could. In a random one on one engagement however, I would.

Be interesting to see how this fight might have gone if you’d had ECCM modules fit instead of point and web, eh? LOL.

Lau’s Celebrity Death Match duels and posts about them are quite entertaining

Meh, I’m assuming he had no tackle? Not a true PvP (fit) tbh.

Surprised you stayed to get sploded.

Honor and my word are all I have, the hellcats and bastards stick to their word. Thanks for reading and commenting! Cheers

Oh I’m irritated but you still did your research and used a very good tactic to beat me, I should have used friend or foe misslies but even then it wouldn’t have been enough. You have to expect in using 3 ECM that I would be annoyed to lose while under a blanket. I would never dictate what one puts on their ships in a 1v1. I was truthful when I say I like ECM, it’s a great challenge to problem solving and there I’d always a lesson. Yet I’m still pissed I lost and couldn’t do anything about it. Again, well played.

3 ECM on an unbonused ship, but it still worked. Who knew? Of course I’m sure he figured you’d be in a Rifter and brought specific racials to use against you, which would have helped him.

Sucks you never even got a chance to lock him, though

Nice write up. Yeah, everyone seems to hate ECM unless it’s on their side. Nothing sucks worse than to be a combat pilot that can’t fight back. Good on you though to honour the engagement and go back knowing you’d get popped.

Good luck to Lau as well on their challenge.

Hi Venom,

I would love to make this one a rematch as I have had it in my head all day and it still bothers me. i have tried to justify my fit here;

But i am happy to fight again under your specified rules where ever and whenever you are free to do so.

Thanks again
