If he wants to deul me there will be a raping, and he will pay dearly for trying...so in that sense, im a hooker, yes :)

MINOR PENALTY, 6119 RED, TWO MINUTES, HOOKING

Just be careful where you put the stick Tyrith.

be careful what you wish for Blade.

Dubb, you have already made up your mind one way or another...sorry your sour about last game, but nothing i say is going to sway you from challenging me or not. So me "wishing" for or against your actions will matter little i suspect. I just hope you accept the consequences of your actions if you chose to go down that path.

I'm sour about nothing Blade actually. I fully stated my feeling in that thread, and to tell you the truth would like to leave them there and move onto this game.

Sounds good to me dubby, lets have some fun

However that does not change the fact that I would so own you in a duel. I mean, you seriously have no clue about this Blade.

Unless raiders intervenes and shoots you while you charge at me :p

I rolled a d21 on an online dice thing and it came up 15, so...

VOTE COFFEE WARLORD

Just logged on after everybody left. We had thirteen people at my place this year for my BDay - it gets bigger every year and has become the central annual event for our group. Only time you can expect to get everybody out and happy at the same time.

I caught up, doesn;t seem like much movement. I'll wait for a bit before castinbg my vote as I have no where to go.

-Anxiety

My turn to check in.

I would say I am a Cardinal guard, but I don't want anyone to think I am just cliche.

I figure it will be no more than a day before dubb and DaddyTorgo try to kill me. :)

Well saying you're a cardinal guard is better than saying you're a cardinal guard or whatever we are like Tyrith did :)

Okay, I should NOT have read that sentence right after waking up. :)

By the way, as this is the first game I've played since we got moved, what's with the Dubb / Blade pissing contest?

My take was that Dubb was just meaning Blade likely would be the center of an early duel due to his getting into heated arguements with endless numbers of people in games, that would end up translating into a possible duel.

I think Blade took Dubb's comment as an attack or slap and responded back as such.

Just my opinion on how I read it though.

Cardinal Guard checking in. I was out most of yesterday and didn't get a chance to catch up until this morning.

A difference of opinion on some of the last game's mechanics.

The answer to any question about a XXX / Blade pissing contest is that it's Blade we're talking about. If he didn't ahve at least current pissing contest, it would be disappointing :D

So, to get us back on game track, I find it interesting that we have four claims of skill. In a field of 21 this suggests that the level of skill might be higher than expected.

That said, I think it's likely that the 3 musketeers would have good sword fighting. Since dubb seems so confident in his ability to swordfight, I'll go ahead and suggest that could be a sinister sign and I'll

Vote dubb

I am wondering if there is a forth muskateer. wasn't therean apprentice muskateer in that story?

I'm pretty sure that's a different story. But....21 players, 3-4 is a reasonable guess.

I think the idea of an apprentice musketeer is a good one and one that ought not be ruled out.

Strictly speaking, the first one-on-one showdown occurred in the Tombstone game. bulletsponge killed someone, but I don't remember who it was; it wasn't a fair fight as one who was killed didn't have a gun.

dammit chief. i told you, no hard feelings and we weren't complaining. it was constructive criticism, nothing more. and for all our whining about the balance, the writeups and the atmosphere and everything was awesome. i don't regret playing for a second. relax bub.

I'm leaning this way, too. And Chief Rum not coming out and admitting to being in the Guard seems odd as well.

I think you have a much different dynamic for duels in this game than in Tombstone, since both parties have to agree to make the duel work here. The whole "it takes two to tango" should make duels more prevelent, I think, than they were there.

And you would be wrong barkeep, however if you would like to tell us you have no formal sword fighting experience, you just did a damn good job of it.

Frankly I'm not sure how you get the idea that I have no formal sword fighting experience from my message. Only makes me more pleased in my vote.

OK, so you are voting me because I'm confident I could out duel blade, and then you are now claiming that you are a master sword fighter?

VOTE BARKEEP49

I have claimed NOTHING in the two posts you have quoted. Why are you so willfully distorting what is right there? I don't understand it.

Give me a specific phrase in either post that points to the idea that:
A. I'm a master sword fighter
or
B. I have no formal sword fighting experience

C'mon dubb. Pony up. Where's the specifics?

I'm posting here because I saw my boy dubb.

So far to me it seems like Dubbs is trying to gode people into fights. First the comment to blade, which while i would agree with is more than enough to get Blade going, and now I think I see Barkeep's side that I didn't really see barkeep claiming anything about himself but moreso finding what Dubb was claiming to be interesting.

People are getting awfully defensive on the first day.

I actually didnt take dubbs comment as an attack, more of a spilling over of his anger from dying last game. He said that is not the case, and we moved along. I like dubby, if you read the last game you know that

It's WW :)

Maybe I am wrong but should we really be in a hurry to have a duel when all that would probably do is help the musketeers?

Both parties do not have to agree to deul, there are times when 2 people are forced to regardless of what either wants..just noting

I do know that. I like dubb too and he seems to have decided to pick a fight with me this game.

I agree with CW's idea that he seems to be trying to get someone to duel with him. I wonder why. He could always initiate the duel, but he hasn't. So maybe he can't initiate a duel. And if he can't, why can't he? I'm still mulling over some possible reasons that someone could be barred from initiating a duel, but would want to do one anyway.

The two thoughts I have so far are:
1. Some power gets triggered when he wins a duel. I'm thinking that perhaps he's the apprentice musketeer and could become a full fledged musketeer if he shows his prowess by winning a duel?

2. He simply is the duelest in the game, both sword fighting and guns, and as a balance mechanism he can't initiate a duel.

As I type this post a third thought occurs. Perhaps he's actually a crappy swordfighter but an unbelievable shot. Doesn't change the analysis here (as why doesn't he simply initiate the duel).

Maybe I am missing your point, but the rules say that a person has the right to refuse a challenge to a duel. Unless there is a mechanism I am unaware of in play that is not listed in the rules.

If anyones comments have gotten on my nerves this game, its been barkeep...dubb and i just like competing, so we always threaten and bragg to each other.

True. I didn't state this well in my initial post, but I think someone would be more willing to issue a dueling challenge since there is less responsibility should the person be killed and turned up a guard. "If he was good he should never have accepted my challenge" seems like a reasonable defense.

I think I misunderstood your point. You were saying the same thing I just did. I just misread what you said I think. nevermind! :)

No offense was intended with 119. My apologies if I was offensive.

Here is what im referring to:

dola, my last message was to blade, not myself. I'm not psycho and talking to myself...

Oh, I didn't misread you.. you're right I missed that part of the rules. Ok, gotcha

I am.

:D

No wonder your offense cant keep up with my D
