> I "tore you a new one" five times, and you kept fleeing away. You finally had a chance to mark me (which, by the way, I can understand being able to see someone through camo when they're marked... s'okay, makes sense. But not when you're blind. You shouldn't still get the "but they can see you" thingie, in my humble and uneducated opinion), and I'll be honest... I was just sitting there so you wouldn't dust me. I knew you'd win if I couldn't ambush you (at least at these low ranks), so I was planning on fleeing. There was a token initial disarm attempt, hoping for luck. There was a dirt, "okay, gonna flee after this". There was a "aw, hell, there went my sword", wield axe. There was a "aw, fuckit" disarm.

> However, don't go calling it a "smackdown" when that initial 100% disarm could easily have changed things for you. A "smackdown" is when you hopelessly tool someone with pure devastating skill. You won, yes, but calling it a "smackdown" is a bit more than it deserves.

> A mixture of bad luck, bad timing, and bad choice of time to say, "Hey, wait, maybe I can win if I disarm him instead of fleeing". My only mistake was sticking around and not just running circles around you all the way back to the present while you waited for your movement to come back. So it goes. I'm sure I'll see you again sometime, and I still kinda want to know exactly HOW you knew exactly where to walk to and start dusting when you first showed up.
