    Recently got assigned the mission to "Lose or Stalemate to (player)."

    After attacking and failing a runaway attempt, I came back to Duke telling me I failed the mission.

    Isn't a failed runaway considered a loss or stalemate? My trip to the hospital certainly didn't feel like a win.

    Is the mission supposed to operate this way or is it a bug?

    He said lose, not run away.

    If he wanted you to run away he would have said as much.

    Fight the guy until he kills you or you stalemate. Don't try to run away. If you still have issues, then file a bug report, as that would be a bug.

    I'd be cool with giving it a 2nd try. But, the mission was a 1 shot with no 2nd attempt offered. Agent standing already decreased.

    My issue is with the results in consideration of what was asked. If Duke said, "Let (player) beat you to zero health," I could have arranged that by unequipping my gear and filling some blood bags. However the mission said "Lose or stalemate."

    There is no "Failed runaway" statistic. Had I succeeded the runaway it still wouldn't be a "win." But at least it would be "something else."

    There is a "Attacks Lost" statistic. Mine has gone from 28 to 29 as a result of this attack. Thus I have in fact "Attacked and Lost."

    If runaway is considered as lose , this mission will be too easy.

    Nah man, I'm not looking to blame. I'm just looking for staff to confirm or deny the mission is operating as intended.

    And I'm totally cool with difficult/inconvenient missions. I especially like the "Go to South Africa and fake a hunting accident." I just don't want to be punished for achieving my goal easily.

    I am not an Admin or anything, but the issue you're describing sounds a lot like what other people are complaining about when they assume the mission means something other than what it said, and end up failing the mission because of it.

    Send a bug report if you're not sure, otherwise the next time you get that kind of a mission (or if anyone else reading this does), do a straight up attack and lose without trying to run away and see what happens.

    add to that donating blood and taking a xanax. If high on xanax and with just 1hp, no armor and wielding a rusty sword its real hard to win no matter how weak your opponent :p
