Yup, that was my character you met. Could have just PM'd me, really.
But anyway, here's the reasoning for what I did:
First off, that specific character (Feldwebel Nikolai Sovok) is subject to an RP I'm developing, I'm only at the family history part, which you can find in my signature (shameless self-advertising, meh), but more additions are to come once I'm complete. The thing is, that specific character is not the generic "enemy of Rheinland! Prepare to be destroyed!" type, more like an individual who is in the Rheinwehr for the salary (which is obviously higher than what you get in a shipyard).
But remember, I stayed there and tried reasoning with you when I met you on Voelkel. When I got shot at, I started evading because I tried calling backup, which did not come so I shot back. When I was loosing, I was simply making the outcome of the fight faster. I didn't retreat because that specific character cannot afford being humiliated like that in front of his enemies. Anyway, I have Voelkel for the [RM] faction RP, I have the other characters for the sake of individualism and a slight break from the chief points we represent. Another note regarding that: I personally consider the [RM] to be really diverse with RP, that's why I have such a character in the first place. I mean, damn it, we even have an [RM] tagged Wilde in the field.
The second part of your reasoning (the 4 hours part) is valid aswell [although this was supposed to be PRIVATE information someone passed on]. For that, I would like to apologize, but you see if I die in Berlin, I can pretty much shut my computer down for 4 hours, since even if you do allow me back, I'm still committing a rule violation and am also closing out my character from assisting possible allied forces.
So, we both know that in an 1v1 fight, I have no chance against you, no matter what everyone says. Therefore, going into a fight that's no fun for me would be... pointless for me (again, apologies for the selfish remark.)
Also, ignoring your character's RP is not really what I did. It was more like ignoring that you attacked me. You wanted to avenge your buddies by killing a person who had nothing to do with taking down those Hessians in Hamburg. I also remained as long as the text RP lasted, but fled only as the shots were fired. So again, it was not the RP part that I ignored (yes, I *KNOW* fighting is part of RP aswell).
If you insist however, I can stay and die next time. I can try fighting, but I can't be good enough for you to be entertaining. I can stay in one place and you can shoot me if that satisfies you, or I can retreat (assuming I'm on a character that doesn't care about being labeled as a coward). I can even un-tag Nikolai Sovok, if that pleases you.
Btw, give the statement your character said saying "pick someone of your size" a good thought. It can be applied to... 3-4 situations in this specific case.
(Note to any outsiders seeing this: No, I'm not saying all this because I'm being emo again. Just presenting facts.:))
