I got robbed today

[Alyx Vance]

good lord alyx you're not invincible

Didn't say I was did I?
Where did I say something implying I could totally take them on?

I said if they double team you than you kick them in the balls unless they have a gun or something.

because fighting is the only solution to a problem, right?

Look whos talking, you wanted to knock someone out for flirting with someone who you liked.

i would have just stabbed him. no biggy.
always have my knife

Stabbing doesn't always work though. How do we know they weren't huge people that had more body protection and such?

unless they have a gun or something.

You have no idea whether or not they have a gun.

If they have a gun they probably would have already drawn it.

[e-maxx]

I wouldn't care if it's a cheap shot, if I was getting mugged I would just kick them in the balls, take my thing, and run.

that's seems like a good idea until you do it and they notice what you're doing and break your leg before you can fully kick them

[Kimon]

I agree that they would probably have drawn their weapon if they really wanted to intimidate him

[RaR]

If they have a gun they probably would have already drawn it.

I saw a video where two black men attempt to grab a bag off another man. He resists, he gets punched in the temple and falls over, and one of the muggers proceeds to draw a glock out of his jacket and unloads the entire clip into his head.

You don't know if he's gonna draw his gun, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know.

you don't know.

Stop trying to pin certain solutions on a completely and utterly random scenario.

[.:FancyPants:.]

agreeing with dez
the situation is way too variable, all the i don't knows means there's an equal chance of getting hurt as there is not, best solution is to lean as heavily towards safety as possible.

[Elecro]

Look whos talking, you wanted to knock someone out for flirting with someone who you liked.

Proof? I don't remember saying that.

[Elecro]

you don't know if the guys were armed. if OP swung he could have gotten stabbed or shot. pretty sure a life is more important than a loving ipod.

[Nickelob Ultra]

can you not live in a crummy part of MD

[Kimon]

Ok guys can we not reiterate previously made points over and over?

[Alyx Vance]

Proof? I don't remember saying that.

It was in a steam chat, stop lying.

[Elecro]

It was in a steam chat, stop lying.

sorry I have a rogue memory.

[Alyx Vance]

sorry I have a rogue memory.

Clearly.

[Bisjac]

you cant go through life not trying or doing anything when there is conflict just because "he may have a gun" lol
he may have 100 hidden ninjas backing him up. he may have an atomic bomb. he may be a wizard.
i mean come on now. you are going to own nothing and never be happy with this attitude.
