Unless he can crash the drone directly into my head at a high rate of speed I think can take him down pretty easily.

He's likely to be a still target while piloting the drone, giving me a reasonably easy shot.

Even if I do miss my shots I think the bayonet finishes the job.

TLO drones are slow.

TLO? More like TKO. Poor ptlyon never had a chance in this one.

Stun bombs vs a gun with a bayonet? TLO in a wash. Best option is to fly the drone into TLO and hope you catch a jugular or something. Or drop the bombs and go find a pitchfork or idiot stick or sledgehammer in a barn and sneak attack. It’s a long shot at the very best.

LMAO

I dunno about the early voting. They're starting out 587 feet apart in a place with lots of outbuildings and stuff. ptlyon just has to get out of sight and into a building, and then he can track TLO with the drones and attack from relative safety.

LMAO

Sounds like the bombs are relatively useless though.

I thought weapon power was supposed to be semi equal? ROFL

Tank vs. Slingshot!

How long is one stunned when hit by this drone?

Hmm, I can't find any specific information, but this provides some insight:

No such promises were made. Check your contract.

A gunshot rings out, then another and another. Three untethered drones fly serenely over the horizon like the Voyager spacecraft, and TLO moves to Round 2.

Whoa whoa WHOA. Had no clue this was going on.

But congrats TLO. Go on and make my death meaningful.

He should give both parties a chance to give their strategy before polls open

Did you not hear ma clanging on the dinner bell to start the match?

No biggie to me. I think I stated in the original thread that I wasn't interested, but thanks for thinking about Lil ol me!

Obviously not,and I like to eat!
