Well G...
The roof didn't fall in on Aspen or Methous... do you really think we'll get lucky this time?
Third time's the charm, they say.
Slice him to bits, Angel.

I am forced to question the integrity of this community when we start comparing Baron Ganderfald to the likes of Aspen and Methous.

Forgive me, I'm new here and still a commoner though I hope that changes this coming week. I don't really know either of the two that are involved in this challenge. Now I can see if you want one of the two to win like some said but why must you continueously bash people? I've read the history and know about Methous but still...putting either Cletus or Ariadrne in the like of him are just plain cruel to do. So I ask
the community this question:
Why is the community so based on the bashing of its fellow members?

Gentles, and the one who dost question without signature.
More oft the duels be called a community. Tis nae properly called such, for there is little of community within this ancient sport save by the mere generalization and bastardization of the word. Perhaps thou mayest peruse the following.
Community: noun (PL. -ies)
1. A group of people living together in one place, especially one practicing common ownership; all the people living in a particular area or place. n: A particular area or place considered together with its inhabitants. n: The people of a district or country considered collectively, especially in the context of social values and responsibilities.
2. A group of people having a religion, race, profession, or other particular characteristic in common; n: a body of nations or states unified by common interests
3 The condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common.
Unto thee which deigned to question sans signature, the history of this ancient sport ist neither complete nor replete with all the happenings and subtle nuances which didst surround its making, nor dost it tell of the various personages in anna depth, though tis certes much information may be garnered there.
Thou must forgive mine stating that I find the use of the word, "bashing", coming from one who dost but cite the history and who states little if anna knowledge of the two combats rather a sweeping generalization.
Wouldst thee then hae all be sweetness and light and drone out sweet, adoring, sugary phrases, ast if all be but mere clones? If'n that be what thou seekest, thee shall perhaps find thineself sorely disappointed. Hast nae considered perhaps, that many may hae good reason to comment adversely upon this challenger, just ast perhaps some may comment adversely upon he who ist challenged?
Perhaps were thee to acquire more knowledge, thou wouldst nae be so quick to make such statements, then again, perhaps tis thine upbringing, background and perhaps thine sensibilities what wouldst lead thee to so opine. If thou be averse to being subjected to various comments and opinions stated boldly, thou mayest considered nae wandering to peruse this ancient cork and also perhaps obtaining something with which to stopper thine ears when thou
dost wander into the basement.
If'n thou be seeking a place where all be but hugs and kisses and pats on the head, thou perhaps may certes find those certain personages who indulge themselves in such ast well ast those personagles who believe this ancient sport ist or should be some sort of ladies garden party. Thou shalt also come across certain personages who hae little care for the title they may seek, beyond that tis a title won in what some actually describe ast a "game".
Thou wilst fergive me if I find the use of that particular word to describe a blood sport where more oft than nae steel finds flesh and blood dost pour upon the sands rather juvenile and certes an extremely shallow description of this ancient and storied blood sport.
Ast to the use of the word "community", the bloodsport these days ist better described ast an amalgam of various personages of various races, species, backgrounds, religions, homelands, upbringing, morals or lack thereof, honor or lack thereof, intelligence or lack thereof, wit or lack thereof, and who, save for a very few, hae anna true sense of caring beyond their own self aggrandizement.
If'n thou hast indeed perused the history, thou mayest hae come upon that small portion regarding Ariadne Angeles. What ist nae mentioned in that history be that upon the eve that Ariadne Angeles failed to appear to meet the then Baron Damien Mortis, she didst later appear, laughing and giggling, and certes nae in the least contrite, indeed, she appeared completely uncaring that she had failed to appear for a challenge which she had made agreement
to attend. Further, the history dost nae mention the certainty expressed by Ariadne that she hae nae anna fear nor expectation that she might face penalty or punishment to be lain upon her by the Council.
Ariadne Angeles, in her short reign ast holder of the Eighth, wast merely another example of the depths to which this ancient sport hast fallen headlong. Were thee to peruse the corkboard for her jottings, perhaps thee shall find the comments she hast penned. She wouldst appear to be among those what seems to hold that merely garnering the bona fides with which to issue challenge be all that one needs to be thought worthy of seeking title. There
seems to be a growing number of personages who drone that same litany. The shallowness of character and mindset which appears to permeate manna what hae entered the lists within the last eight to twelve turnings of the seasons canna go unnoticed by those with a discerning eye.

Well,
It's no secret I don't care much for Cletus and his crew, and I care even less for Ariadne. I believe the comparison of the two is easily put as such:
Noone wanted either Aspen nor Methous to win the challenge match they had together. And it was hoped that they both would kill themselves or some divine intervention would happen.
Comparing those two to Cletus and Ariadne seems appropriate to me, as I don't wish either of them to win, though death to either may be a bit over doing it.
So, basically, it's saying it's a "No-Win" situation to some. Methous vs Aspen was definitely, without a doubt, no confusing the matter, a "No-Win" situation. To a few of us, same thing for this one.
Anyway, that's what the comparison meant to me. No Win Situation means Aspen vs Methous challenge match. It won't surprise me if the same comparison were to be made many many times in the future.
Hope that helps,
G

For the love of everything Cletus, Just Win. Don't do anything else..just do the thing I didn't.
By the by, someone should take the right of crazy people from challenging, that would solve alot of problems here..oh wait, then I wouldn't get a title..nevermind.

I've never understood why everyone posts who they'll be cheering for.
Why not just tell the dueler in question? That's what I'll do.

Jona,
The problem with you, is that you are very "NOSY". You want to be the first one to informed of everything, even in matters that do not concern you. As for the Damien challenge, I have and had no obligation to tell you anything, the minute you saw me. My only obligation there was to the Baron's council, the official, supervisors and Overlord.
>she didst later appear, laughing and giggling,
>and certes nae in the least contrite, indeed, she appeared completely
>uncaring that she had failed to appear for a challenge which she had made
>agreement
Stop bitting your tongue already!
As for me failing to appear for my challenge where according to you, I had agreed, you are totally wrong. Perhaps you are the one who needs to look at some messages that you may have missed in the topic. What did you expect? you certainly were laughing your behind off the minute you saw me, because to you, I came out looking as a Forfeit. If you are laughing about the matter, don't I have a right to laugh about it myself?
Furthermore Jona, this sport is meant to be fun and there is nothing that you can say to take that away from me. Not even your pitiful comments.

One day you will realize that not everyone has the same opinion of Baron Ganderfald that you do.
That should be enough.

Well, I wouldn't call Ganderfald crazy... But then, he did willingly give shelter to a known murderer... for the sole purpose of having said murderer duel for him.
