The Revenge Backstab.

Anyone ever notice this?

If you start a pvp match with a backstab, sometimes the other player will pull a pivot bs on you, and then fight normally. No matter what the circumstances are.

Or maybe I'm just overthinking the fact that I got bsed a lot while ambushing tonight.

If someone heals, I WILL bs them. No matter what. Idk how, but I DO pull it off. I can't pull it off any other time, but I CAN get them if they heal. Especially if they bow. But I'll actually play by the rules until they break them. I.E. I invade and there are already 2 people or if the guy bs's me or if he heals. I actually can't get a bs if they bs me, but I will do it if they heal. I can't revenge backstab, but I am determined to get them if they heal.

i follow my own set of rules and dueling in the burg i don't go for bs as it's just cheap but if i get bs unfairly then i will revenge bs to make the fight fair, if i fail and get bs again i'll heal and just go for bs the entire fight
i used to fight alot in the forrest and got into the habit of hornet bsing players but i save that now for gankers but i'm practicing taking them out without having to resort to this using lock-off techniques

If they're looking for a duel I will follow my honour code until they break it, then I just take them out. But I have noticed if I accidently BS someone they will BS me back, or at least try.

I just backstab whenever. I don't duel so I don't see what the point in fighting the guy doing flips in giants armor is anyways. Its just funny though, I'll see a guy with Artorias' greatsword or something, but then as soon as I pull the bs he switches to a lightning rapier and goes in for the kill.
