dumbest thing ever? Actually not. Here are my rules for playing DM.
1) I will acknowledge you by flourishing my weapon;
2) I will then contact my friends over vent to position themselves appropriately. ideally they will all be naked archers, or 2H jumping axemen;
3) We will start dueling;
4) I will immediately suck (b/c i do rather suck at melee) and beg for mercy;
5) You will follow your code and have to let me live; and
6) you will be promptly impaled by a spear to the back, arrow to the face (through the back of your head), or put in the nekid 2H man meat blender.....
Ok seriously though, this is a video game. Jedi outcast turned what was supposed to be a bedlam of combat into a "honor" queue. Please don't do that to M&B.
yes I HATE getting lanced in the back, or run down by a nekid nord. but that's part of the game.
perhaps we could make "honor" servers to keep the honorable away from dishonorable scum like myself.
