The Duel šŸ¤ŗ

For a little over two years now we had been
avoiding by making many excuses that were rather trivial as this duel between one of my pilots vs one of @Uriel_the_Flame PvP elite pilots.

We were called out yesterday so I guess this is the perfect opportunity to front up and become brave enough to take on such a pilot.

I also would like for spectators to attend and the system will be Parchanier
Date; Friday 28th February 2025
Time will be 15 mines before Server Restart

Exact location will be close to the container that holds 4500 plex

It is anchored close to the Drone Mind quest giver.

Reason for such location is also a huge heads up to the many New Eden Capsuleers who had not yet completed such quest. (Note, the duel :person_fencing: is not part of that quest)

Sorry for the wordsalad here above though I do wish for support in local because I am still very afraid to click accept duel when the time comes.

Thank you and have a good flight!

You meant to write: an around 7 mil SP (maybe a bit more by now due to acquired free SP) mostly combat skills trained Alpha pilot.

(Note that the base Alpha allows ~5 mil worth of SP to be spent and no reason to PLEX or sub this random alt which was simply meant to be a dueler / basic combat alt for events, duels and whatnot, which Iā€™ve also used for the Abyssal Arena and such, so is just a random Alpha alt with mostly combat skills, thatā€™s it.)

For reference you can look up the details in the thread below:

And just as the thread shows I also noted I will use the same frigate for this duel as well (if I recall correctly, it was years ago due to the delays :stuck_out_tongue: ).

Also her zKillboard for reference:

Nothing scary or anything. :stuck_out_tongue:

This is why I told you we will have to discuss the details as I donā€™t plan to go to Parchanier just for a duel. If I remember correctly that specific alt is currently at Dodixie as thatā€™s where most of her ships are located at, so it would be cumbersome to have to leave that system just for this.

Also nope as all kinds of things can go wrong and Iā€™m not going to sign in again just for this after DT, so it will be either after DT or much sooner than DT. Iā€™m EUTZ btw.

Iā€™m not even sure why this 15 min is, you want to escape the duel if it doesnā€™t resolve fast or something? :thinking:

:face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Also that specific time frame correlates with another game I play so I prefer to sign into that during EVE DT, but this is kind of irrelevant as above stated Iā€™m not going to rush due to DT being so close so definitely not close before DT.

Finally as am busy with work, real-life matters and other things not sure yet if that specific day is proper. This is why Iā€™ve stated to discuss the details in EVEmail, which you tend to ignoreā€¦ not that weā€™re in a hurry since you delay this since years. :stuck_out_tongue:

Another thing regarding that location is the Drone Patrol spawns there so it can also mess up the duel. Just another reason why that is a bad idea. :stuck_out_tongue:

Btw if anyoneā€™s reading this (? :smiling_imp:) he is talking about this ā€œquestā€ (COSMOS mission) below:

:facepalm: :popcorn: :innocent:

Still? Told you I will not even fit a warp scrambler / disruptor and that it is just a friendly duel if you are interested. To be honest would have been easier if you just canceled it like a year ago. :thinking:

Hopefully if you can restrain yourself from delaying it any longer and choking us with aforementioned wordsalads. :smiling_imp:

Anyway we can discuss the rest in EVEmail as I noted countless times during the past couple years. :wink:

Good luck and fly safe o/

Your response makes this very easy for me to back out!

Your choice, I wonā€™t even hold it against you or anything. Just as I always wrote, just a friendly duel if you are interested, so no pressure.

In any case if you want to duel just drop an EVEmail so I know and can discuss exactly when it would be proper for both of us.

Did we just witness the founding moments of the New Eden Dueling Club? ^^

Good idea. I already attempted something like that in the past (see linked thread below) but havenā€™t really had enough time to promote it properly and have even less time nowadays. :thinking:

Maybe someone can pick up the idea and organize something around that concept if have the time and effort to put into it.

Note that it is not uncommon to see people duel at trade hubs like Jita and Dodixie so there might be some already who partake in such.

My idea was to promote this activity among new players so they can get a taste of PvP without having to dedicate too much training, ISK and such to it and can do it in hisec in a relatively controlled manner.

I really think this has potential and could greatly benefit new players but unfortunately never had enough spare time for it to.
