Anon, a small statement. Unless I am seriously mistaken, a peer win is not valid til it is listed in the standings. Since several of your listed wins are from this week, I believe you need to wait til the standings arrive, next week, to make this challenge. Unless you have other peer wins, of course.

::Walks up and read this, laughing his ass off. "Oh, this is too good." ::

Anon:

For one. Let us get this straight. You are not my cuz. And never will be, no matter how much you say you are. After what I have seen from you, don't even mention it. Someone coming along and just saying they are my cuz is sick.Something I would expect Uz to do. ::snickers to himself as he writes this:: Got that or do I have to say it a few more times?
Next ... you insult me with a ... ::searches for a more proper word that what he was going to use:: ... challenge that can't even be done right? Please. Go back and read the rules. It might help you and your ego.
And the last thing. DoS has history, pal. Try to read it sometime. It is rather intresting. Maybe it will change your sick ways.
Oh .... even more. You can't use new peer wins. Just thought you would like to know.

Next time someone challenges with Illegal Peer wins, you all should keep quiet and say nothing. This way the person who makes an improper challenge learns their mistakes on their own and suffers the proper punishment.

G'nort,

I am too nice a guy to sit back and say nothing. I wouldn't let someone suffer that sort of mistake. I see it as the duty of us all as residents of the community and sportsmen to correct such a mistake and allow them to try to do better. Besides, being nasty to the guy isn't going to make him nicer to people.

Gnort:

Even though he wants nothing but to win and does that power dueling stuff, does not mean he will not get a shot at me. I will not stop him by the rules, but will rather try with my blade. I shall do it fairly and not hide behind a rule which I caused. :D Besides ... it is not even a challenge. Just a post with peers wins that are of no use right now. Though, it was good for a laugh or two. Even Dal would get a kick out of this.

G,
In all honesty, I don't think people should have the right to take back a challenge. Either they keep their challenge up or they forfeit the right for the cycle.
This way, people will be more careful when making challenges. They'll make sure the Universal terms are met, and it will save time.

Simply,

Peoples,

Where as I don't normally get into these things, I must ask those of House Rising a question. It appears as if your views on the rules are a bit... slack. You wish to aid the community, then in turn, break(by not enforcing them) the rules that have held the community together all these years.

In my opinion, why have the rules if you aren't going to enforce them? Your only allowing those who break them to add an even weaker image of the Duel of Swords than you currently see. In the 'Golden Days' you claim to wish to bring back, I don't recall any of the elder duelist talking about retractions of challenges and invalid peer wins.

The RDI's off the Duel of Swords don't ask much for the services they give. Going by their rules and 'punishments' is a small price to pay for such an honorable, and organized sport to continue... regardless of your need for a 'challenge'.

May want to think on that.

The commoner quirks a smile as she peruses the various missives, pausing as she nods in agreement with G and Var's missives. Taking up the quill she pens a short note, then tacks it to the ancient corkboard.

M'lord Percival Marchand de Clermont

Your Grace,

Tis to my mind, improper challenges by one who has gained the rank of warlord are a scurrilous afront to the entire community and a bane upon the traditions. Tis mayhap the ancient dueling house as well as the community may be better served were those who, in their haste to gain title indeed face the penalty for such effrontery. Methinks M'Lord Goldendust Evermeadow is more than qualified to adjudicate the propriety of a challenge presented
to the titled Barons and to the Overlord. Perhaps thou and others would permit him his duty.

Graciously,
Jonalyn Starfare,
Common as they come.

Roland,

In the Golden Days I remember so fondly, we were a little more polite to newcomers than we are now. I was simply polite enough to inform Anon of his mistake. It is called common courtesy. I don't see how it is in anyway offensive or breaks the rules, as it allows him to understand it and not make it in the future.

Perci,

Common courtesy would have been to allow the Duel of Swords officials to do their jobs. Granted, I respect your kindness to others, but this is a bit much. Perhaps if Anon were a Commoner who needed a set of the rules, I could see it as 'right'. But to remind someone who is supposed to be peers with the likes of Daegarth Mithmellon, Kalamere Ar'Din, etc. about the *simple* rules of issuing a challenge... I don't think so.

Roland,

None of us are Kalamere's peers. Plain and simple. But I won't get all hero worshippy.
I am the way I am. If I am too nice, I guess I am too nice. With all I have seen of late, however, I would rather be too nice than the other way around.

Perci,

I'd advise you to take your kindness to a local charity. For this is a bloodsport... fought, lost, and won with ones blood. You wish to be kind, but kindness rarely has place in these rings.
Expecially in a situation such as this.

In my opinion, by informing Anon about his mistake, your allowing him to get away with a lesson he should have otherwise recieved. Now, he will no doubt be challenging within the next weekend. Yet another rushed challenge, lacking most qualities that I have come to understand the 'golden days' challenges held.

Percy,

Gnort has a point.. if people would keep their mouths shut in these matters of invalid peer wins then challengers would be properly punished for their folly instead of being able to withdraw challenges.
