Yeah, I think you would've been called to the carpet for not duking it. Unfortunate choice sure, but it's also day 1.

I have come to think, in my errors and by looking back on my first two games when I duked well, that the duke needs to:

A- Unless there has been some sort of reveal by the other leading vote-getter, use the power to duke it to them

and

B- Continue to fight for their life like they had any other role. The longer the duke can hold out, the more beneficial a weapon he is. I think, and I know I did this the one game, our dukes aren't necessarily disappointed by getting lynched because it clears them and gives them a shot at using their power.

Those are the two rules I'll live by as a duke from now on.

Well, those and always duke it to Lathum because eventually I'll be right.
