Challenge for the Third Ring

DoS Community, here is a copy of the letter I recently sent Baron Heath MacCormick.

Baron Heath MacCormick,
This is a missive informing you that I am challenging you for the right to wear the third Baron's ring of DoS. Know that I do not challenge you out of malice or lack of respect. You are one of the paramount duelers in DoS in my mind, and it will be an honor to duel you for the right to wear the ring. I challenge you for two reasons: 1) I feel the time has come for me to wear a ring again, and 2) you have fallen below the win/loss requirement for a warlord, and I think that you should prove your
worth as a baron by besting me.
Following this letter is a list of my peer wins. I leave the scheduling of our match and the arranging of a caller up to you and I am at your complete and total disposal.

Thank you kindly,
Ulath Fici

Indeed, I am sorry to state that this challenge will likely be nullified due to Ulath's recent challenge to Bephelocutis at the end of a two person Baronial challenge queue.

I'm sorry for not making this clearer. Golden rendered my challenge to Bapheloc invalid because of a faulty peer win (against LrdPrefect who is now a commoner, but used to be a warlord and thus I thought he was a warlord.. anyway). He confirmed that I am able to challenge again this cycle.

Having recieved tha confirmation o' peer wins I am happy ta' say tha' I do hereby accept tha' challenge posed by Ulath. I believe tha' he was correct in his admission tha' I should prove ma' worthiness in tha' of last standings posts I was below tha WoL for a Warlord. Een though tha is no longer tha case, having gained three peer wins this weekend in so many duels, I am still in agreeance tha I should prove once again tha' I am worthy ta hold
tha ring.....as I so did to obtain i'.......not as much fer the rest o' tha dueling family as for maself.

I will post tha time and day and caller an all other formalities jus as soon as I recieve word from tha called of availability an from Ulath fer tha same

In Honor, an in faith
