But it wasn't an official duel! Tongue

This kind of duel has serious consequences if you lose.

Or once I insult your honor so grotesquely you will have no choice but to face me in battle.

I do have a question though. Who would consent to a duel like this knowing if they lose, they'll be banished from the game for a year? Someone who loves pain? Or just wants to leave the game?

What kind of duel doesn't have any consequences?!

What fun is that?! You wouldn't even miss an election! A duel must have consequences. Evil

I might be willing to accept a four month "death," since that would be one full election cycle.

Though I suppose even a week-long "death" would at least remove someone from office, if they were an office-holder that is...

How do we get independent verification from these console games? Upload them to Youtube? I know Starcraft its easy to do it. I guess I won't worry about the other games since I only play Starcraft when I play a video game, and that is a rare occurrence these days anyway.

don't worry, I'll upload the evidence after I crush you. Evil

I forgot to open a vote on this, sorry. Please vote aye, nay, or abstain.

I'm voting nay. I think there needs to be at least a little bit of a consequence if you lose a duel. A two month ban, for example, would ensure you miss at least one election.

Aye

I understand wanting punishments, but it pretty much takes away any incentive anyone has to play if they could lose their voting eligibility for 2 months by agreeing to it.

Tell that to Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr!!

And it's not like we need to pass some law for Atlasians to play against each other in these games.
