What's a 1 vs 1? Been so long! but they should be honoured.

I've had a few 1v1 on occasions, some with pirates and some with squids. Never had one that was dishonoured. For what it's worth, I personally do honour them and we as a corp encourage people to honour them. I even enforce it whenever I am in the same system, though I keep people on standby for obvious reasons (e.g. cheaters, liars, and the like).

The key element here though is that it has to be set up. If I encounter a lone ship and a 1v1 was never agreed to, I will call for help if the fight starts going sideways, though I still enjoy trying to take him solo.

I remember back in the time of Draketrain when there was agreed cruiser duel and you still felt the need to send extra person to field despite agreement. Spectator, yeah right. Goes to show how far your word goes.

I don't remember any arranged cruiser fights since I don't field them on a regular basis. But I do remember a fight where a corp mate wanted to stay and spectate.

That fight was actually a frigate fight, which didn't start out as an arranged fight. We got away from him (100km+ in plex) and he still warped off as per opponent's request. That fight was honoured, your accusation rings hollow.

In case it wasn't that particular fight: I chose my wording carefully. We encourage honouring them, we don't guarantee it. I personally honour them. Hence, "for what it's worth".

Since the beginning of time, games are exactly where you are supposed to have honour.



Agreed. But let's remember, online anonymity guarantees no direct fall-out to these people. I wonder if they are like this in RL?

For example, the Americans are rightly proud of their military and the Marines quite rightfully hold battlefield honour in the highest regard. Even if remaining honourable meant they lose a battle or skirmish. Would the same self-serving dishonourable players whine if they got into a fight outside a bar with someone and all of a sudden got ganked by two or three of their opponents mates who jumped in? Umm, hell yes. Yet, in a game of pixels these people seem to alter their viewpoint accordingly. Bizarre. It's that weird thing I never quite understand about the internet. The abject fascination and desire to wind people up to the point where they get angry which in turn makes their protagonist extremely happy. I just don't geddit. Truly, I would love to see these people acting this way in RL situations. There would be a lot of unconscious geeks littering the streets.
