Protojedi111 Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 You know what makes me so mad? When you are liking dueling on MP and you do your little bow out of respect before you fight, but your opponent decides that bowing is to "high" for them and they just decide that death from above is the best thing to do instead and just kill you instead. That kind of bull crap is what makes me almost not bow anymore. Ughghhggh... I could just squeeze their little.... -Zack> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koffin Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 well hey dont give up and certainly dont stop. If we are in a duel and you want to stick your head down where i can whack it easier ill be with you all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masonis Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Just sidestep the DFA and backstab them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunatic Jedi Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Yeah, then crouch over their corpse and slash their body. It doesn't do anything, but that's how I show disrespect for someone who fights without honor. I've been almost DFA'd in mid bow, but if I kill them, I show my disrespect with the above method. It pisses them off. I can't explain how, it just does. Or maybe I've just been doing that to the right people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Personally I find someone slashing a corpse rather laughter inducing O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Bakker Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Bowing... depends on the bow. If it's a quick 1-second roll-the-mouse-forward-then-straight-back bow then I'll bow back, but if they crouch for two minutes all they're doing is making the people in line for a duel wait longer, and that's more disrespectful in my book. The Force will be with you, always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdGenRX7 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 it didn't occur to me that slashing the bodies was disrespectful... i always did it to make my fighting area clean:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emon Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 1. They shouldn't attack you with your saber down wether the bow or not. 2. Some people think bowing is lame and rediculous, and I certantly understand why. It is a video game, afterall. Most people don't think that they are too high for it, they instead think that it's lame. I sorta agree, but I do it anyways just because other guys do.

FatalStrike Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 LOL you have got to be joking! Stick your neck out and you can bet that I will be there to check if your empty head floats away once I cut off the dead weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellFyre69 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 wuts wrong with bowing.. Personally I think is a gr8 idea. To have a non BS duel. However latelly, even if you bow, you'll get the bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanubis Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 If you bow quick enough, you shouldn't get caught by surprise. The way I see, if your bow takes long enough for you to get whacked, bow quicker. And from further away. Anyway, said it before and I'll say it again, there's something wrong about black-hearted evil sith giving a nice honourable bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Yes, we all know that when you select the Dark Side in JO, you become an evil Sith incapable of bowing and that you can never again turn back to the light side of the Force, and you become a terrorist because of the intense evil and hatred that is burning in your heart.

Kanubis Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Uh, yeah, basically, otherwise every bowing sith in the game is a sith who has just a tiny grip on the ligh-side, which manifests itself as honourable bowing. Hmm. Anyway, Vader killed kenobi when his Saber was off. I just can't reconcile blowing up planets and bowing. Doesn't quite... fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZugZug Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I bow, I guess its nerdish, but I find it an honorable custom If the other guy doesn't then i dont give. For me its just a quick nod, not that crouch down for an hour crap. If the bastard goes for me right off then I roll back, bow, and fight. Simple. I dont care if other people don't do it.. it IS a video game. Though sometimes I get pissed if they give me that "I'm a sith" bs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegy Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I'm a Sith. They're right, a Sith wouldn't lower himself down before an opponnent. But it's still cheap to kill em while they bow. Where's the challenge in that? A Sith loves a good challenge, at least this Sith does. I nod in return to anyone who bows, to sorta say "bring on a worthy match!" Hell, even taunt if you think it's outta character for a Sith to bow or nod. But what's the point if it's just a quick single strike of death over and over again? I can see that kind of reasoning in an FFA, but the duels are for some challenging saberfights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing with the Dark Side doesn't, at all, influence a person's actions in the outside world. What kind of obsessed sick bastard are you? 2. Obi-Wan's saber was ON, and he LET Vader kill him. Duh.

Koffin Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 k..yall do realize that this is only relevant if you assume all players even care about being honorable? *Hint* If they aint now, they aint going to be...
