Ok, the most simple way of starting a "perma-TEF" (this is the name we call it where you maintain being TEF'd on someone, even after the typical duration of either: 5 minute wait, or a death of one of the two characters involved) is to grant someone else, the first-hit chance TEF on you; to get the first-hit chance "perma-TEF" on someone else, you need to be lucky (and I will describe what I mean when detailing this one).

"Perma-TEF" (with whomever you want to have the TEF, first-strike) against yourself:
Send a duel to someone opposing faction, Special Forces, whil you are only combatant or on leave. Then, simply run into a pvp zone, and get ganked before the person you chose to have a Perma-TEF on you has the chance to reject or accept the duel challenge. Yes, this definitely gives the person u chose an edge, as they can clone-camp you if you're foolish enough to keep cloning at the same spot, so be careful.

"Perma-TEF" on someone else:
Be overt, get challenged to a duel by someone opposing faction, non-SF. Then, provoke them to enter the pvp zone to die, or simply become untargetable (i.e. cloak, stealth, etc), and wait for them to foolishly cross into the pvp zone without you rejecting/accepting, and without them cancelling their duel challenge. Watch them die, or participate in the beat-down if u can get there before they get ganked, and... voila! You now have a "perma-TEF" on that person, AND you will always have the ability to attack them first (bear in mind, however, if they log out until their character vanishes, the TEF disappears, however, you will likely at least have the pleasure of killing said person more than a few times before they become depressed and log out to go commit suicide). Go, abuse this, and thoroughly enjoy all the hate-tells you get for exploiting this TEF. I know I do!

Hmmm, what is "TEF"?????

TEF- Temporary Enemy Flag. This has been in the game since shortly after launch, and it has evolved over the course of the game to attempt to find a way for it to not be abused. However, abusing it is fun, escpecially when the numbers/odds are against you.

Now, maybe it would make more sense if I explained that the remaining TEF system is what many consider a "revenge TEF", where, for example, you have a pet/droid/called npc that came to your aid during a fight, and still, you were slain before your summoned friend, if your enemies then decide to attack your little buddy and you clone, you will have a normal revenge-TEF on the person(s) that attacked your helpful sidekick while you were already cloning.

*bump* C'mon guys, confirm that this works. I originally posted this quite a while back, so confirm away, please.

Bump for some yays

RE-bump... c'mon folks, this exploit can really help turn the tide whenever you're on the side with fewer people since the big group's medics will usually start focusing on healing whomever you have your TEF with, thus providing a great edge to your fellow factionmates as they can cross the line and pound on those medics! It's a very very useful tactic

Couldent get this to work.

this works 100% of the time. Simply be ready to kamikaze, challenge the person u want to TEF to a duel (or be challenged by them), then, die from special forces pvp. Clone, come out, and if you challenged them, they will be red to you but you cannot attack them until they hit you first, and if they challenged you, they will stay blue on your radar, but still be targetable and attackable (i.e. you will be red to them, but they cannot hit you until you hit them with something first)

Okay well will give it one last shot. I havent got it to work. But if other people can it will be confirmed and submited for points
