This Constitutional Amendment, originally sponsored last year by Senator Spiral, would re-authorize the practice of simulated duels to Atlasia. More information about dueling itself is listed in the Amendment Explanation section. Such duels require a mutual agreement, thereby all actions are consensual and in the spirit of fun. Would highly recommend this pass if we are looking to increase activity levels.

One, section 2.4 was struck down in court a while back.

Two, unless it's to get around point one, I don't see the need for this to be a constitutional amendment when the original dueling provision was an ordinary bill.

Three, my own personal position on dueling (for what it's worth) is I wouldn't initiate or take one up myself but anyone in favor of banning the practice – as several people tried recently – are certified wet wipes. As long as you people come up with something that complies with what Poirot and the Supreme Court are saying, I don't mind what it is.

I thoroughly support enshrining the Right to Duel into the Constitution. The opinion of the Court as stated in Tack v. Atlasia, that the practice of voluntary dueling somehow interferes with one's right to de-register, is, in my own view, rather flimsy. Yet this decision has made it so the only method to re-authorize Atlasian dueling as it once was is a Constitutional Amendment.

Passing this will allow citizens the freedom to exercise their right to take part in this harmless endeavor as they so choose. Let me emphasize that no Atlasian can be forced or coerced into engaging in a duel - it must only be conducted through a mutual contract. The penalty for losing a duel, as cited in the proposal's text, is temporary. No player will be lost without said player opting against re-registering.
