I Feel a Rant Coming On!

Maybe this post is just a reaction, but I just wanna know if the JATs, JAKs or JACs have lisence to jump in front of you to duel some1.

Here's what happened:

I was patiently waiting for the next duel. The duel ended and I went up to the winner. As I looked down at my kbd to challenge, the JA(T,K,C) jumped right in front of me and challenged b4 I got a chance to. I would consider that it was a misunderstanding, but it seemed quite deliberate to me. To my knowlege, I never did anything to upset said person and I won't name them as I haven't confronted them about it(I was pretty tweaked about it and didn't want to make enemies just cuz I lost my sh*t for a second.)
To me it was very rude and disrespectful, contrary to what this place is supposed to be about and the JA(T,K,C)s are supposed to uphold these ideals.

Again, to the best of my knowlege, I didn't do anything to this person. If I did, and this was done on purpose, please talk to me about it.

Sorry for the rant, I just needed to get it off my chest.

I gotta agree that sometimes even the littlest thing can just fill you with rage when you're tired or have a lot on your mind.

I like to go to the gym or just sleep when I get like that.

Billy, you're alright, hehe...

Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government.

Well, like I said, I'm sorry for the rant. I don't agree that it shouldn't be posted here, but OK, viva la difference.

I probably did overreact. It was late at night and I was kinda tired, plus there's a lot of RL stuff weighing on my mind that added to this. Also, there were other things they did to everyone that got to me, the duel issue was just the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak.

I know this was not very "Jedi-like" and I apologize to anyone that got miffed at me for this.

Jesus H. Christ.....DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT POST THIS CRAP ON THE FORUMS. Take it up with a higher power (JAK, JAT or whatever). Posting on here is provication for a bitching.

Well ther are always two sides to each thing. Billy, I would suggest if you are really that pissed about one duel to go talk to the person that did it. They could remember events differently than you since they aren't upset. And there really has not been much ettiquette in who gets to duel next. I've been standing to the side of the mat waiting for a duel to finish and as soon as it ends someone jumps down and gets there first even though I'm moving towards the person. And you also have more than one person running up to challenge the winner of the duel. I've been one that's ran up and also have many people challenge after I've won a duel.

Hmmm...that ain't nice. I wonder what happened? Perhaps they had a previous discussion with each other and agreed to duel before the one had to get off the server... Either way, I always considered it's kinda like a 4-way intersection with stop signs. The first car that arrived gets to go first, then the 2nd, then...on down the line. If we don't do that in JA, I'm figuring we'll get some irritated individuals...as we have right here.

It wasn't a line, that's the thing. I was standing like "3 feet" away from the person I was about to challenge. It was VERY obvious that I had the next duel.

I was just gonna add that there were other things this person did (little things) as well. I don't know, maybe I made too much over it, but I was quite PO'ed, guess I still am a little. I'll get over it, just thought their behavior overall was a little lacking.
