#8508, "RE: I'd like to expand on this a bit..."

I'm responding just to be polite. I've got a million other things to do.
> Not taking any sides, but when did a 2 on 1 become a >gangbang? Years ago, a gang was something like 8 imperials >chasing down someone, or nightgaunting them. Now adays, if >someone doesn't think they had a fair chance in a fight they >start crying about getting ganged.
It's never been acceptable with battle. Remember Takashimi/Dhaevor? Aradan's incident with a Battle thief and another member of battle? BoltThrower layed the smack down in this incident. I'm quite fond of a few more, but I don't really think this needs to be explained.

I disagree here. Two on one - including a thief, is like tampering with the slot machines. Your chances of victory increase dramatically.
In this particular incident, the two ragers were trying to AVOID attacking at the same time, using the old "follow and attack when he flees technique," which is just another way around the no-gangbang rules that apply to battle.
"Hey officer, the open bottles were just sitting in my car, I wasn't going to drink the contents!"

Not trying to be an ass, but if you think a 2 >on 1 is a gang then good god you didn't experience any REAL >gang'in. Loosen the reigns man, a fight has to go
That's an understatement and you know it.
>perfectly for two people to totally gank 1 person without >them getting a flee in or recalling.
Ragers with deathblow really don't need many perfect fights. With great power comes great responsibility grasshopper.
> In a cabal that prides itself on victory, and not losing >any men, it's awful risky constantly forcing individual >battles. I just don't see an army in a war taking risks
You're misquoting the plaque completely here. Come on Gabe, even you know better than that. Is arguing this point really worth looking this bad?
>like that. Two villagers travelling together wouldn't think >twice about killing a mage TOGETHER. Its silly to let the >mage have a chance to escape because fear of getting kicked >out for not fighting fair.
No comment.
><sarcasm>Before long two ragers might get two scions jacked, >and both of them attack one of the sleeping guys...then get >kicked out for gang'in them.</sarcasm>
<seriousness>Common sense.</seriousness>

I actually like this idea. I'll talk to Intronan/Kastellyn and see what they think. However, I don't want alignment to dictate that you get a free gang-bang pass. That, again is not fair.
