I will say one more thing on bashing since it comes that you have to bash FFrs/high lvl workers to get to high duel lvl:
How long do you think you will bash FFrs or high lvl workers before you get out of their range? You will maybe do 50 duels and you are out of their range while 0 mot bashers are never out of that range.
Another thing is number of wins vs number of loses 0 mot bashers have, losses came from dueling duelers in their range while wins and im talking 90% of them came from dueling non dueling skilled people.
Smitty, it is funny how you mentioned all those 0 mot bashers while you are from same town. I understand, you need to keep each others back
One more thing Smitty: How many equall opponents you have in your range that are not from your town?
One more thing: Resistance days are over, in the long run no resist build can outmatch range built duelers, especially with the new gear in place.
Another thing is: No one duels for cash, thats just an lousy excuse because money gained from it is not enough to get you something good, especially with the prices on older worlds.
To wrap this post up, take a look at the rankings of first 10 duelers and you will see how many duels they lost and how many won, that only means one thing and that is they were dueling against dueling skilled people at which you are bound to lose some and win some.
PS: Number of wins vs loses shows true character of a dueler and if he dueled dueling skilled people or bashed workers.
Rip there are a LOT of good duelers on W12 who are not -Lincoln- however, that being said we are always recruiting the best. I always use -Lincoln- for examples because short of The Bloody Path we are the best, at the game, at the numbers, in every way possible.
Rip, you were one of the best, until you got arrogant, bored, and became a FFer. And that is ok if it is your little corner of the game. But until you restart, ZMD, and duel me and win consistently, you have no room to talk.
"I" have
NEVER claimed to duel just duelers. I duel everyone equally. Did the psycho/sociopaths of the west only seek out other gunslingers? No, they robbed trains, stage coaches, banks, butchered families in isolated settlements. They shot children dead, burned people alive in their homes, gave blankets infested with small pox, and poisoned fire water to the natives... Believe me if I could do these things in the game, I would do them. I would come to your little FF town, I would butcher man, woman, child, horse, cow, dog, hamster, and rat... Yeah I have a thing for cats so I'd leave them alone... Your street would be mud made from dirt and blood. I would burn your forts down and and roast the cows I killed at your town on the fire.
THAT was the true American Westward expansion. Gunfights where honorable gunslingers challenged each other in the street didn't happen. The only Fort Fights were between the United States Army and the Native Americans they butchered, and it was always the Natives attacking the forts, and it was ALMOST always the Natives being butchered.
I forget you foreign peeps have no idea what the west was and you have only old westerns where the bad guy wore black but wasn't really a bad guy just kinda bad, to base your ideas off of.
Seriously Rip, read my profile on W12 and tell me why you think I play an honorable dueler?
Wait I'll make it easy for you and paste part you need to read here.

Yes that's right, I don't discriminate when I duel, if you are within my level range plan on being dueled!
This isn't going to change whether they do away with ZMD or not. I'll just spend more time terrorizing FFing towns like yours instead of going after big bounties on other duelers. You don't like that, restart, go ZMD and come try me out! Come try dueling me I invite you. I want to see how good you are when you are not as Bill said, climbing to massive dueling levels over workers and FFers.
