Lord Mithmellon,
I am, obviously, not surprised at this challenge. I will set the time, date, and place for the match. Also, I will take the liberty of choosing a caller, and then I will inform you of the specifics. You merely need to show up. Lastly, know that I will be choosing to meet you in the ring myself, in a Best 2 out of 3 format.
respectfully,
Lord Dalamar Ar'Daumon
Overlord of the Duel of Swords
Lord of the Dale
Guardian of the Oldest House

While it is nice of you to mention this up-front, Dal, remember that this is not solely your decision to make. I would not attempt to speak for Daegarth on the matter as I do not know his mind, but if he does not wish this to be a 3 mtch series, then it will not be.
The best of three is yours to offer not to order.

Kal,
The Two out of Three is an alternative to the Test of Worthines, and it falls under the parameters of the Right to Challenge (i.e. I can impose it, not suggest it). As with all the specifics of any challenge, it is solely my decision whether to use it or not.

Dalamar...
The point I think you have missed is that your challenger can refuse your offer of the best of three, and therefore force someone to stand on your behalf.
That is, of course, how the word "offer" works in a legal setting.

(m) If anyone asks me for an official determination on the definition of the word "offer", I'm goin' to scream.

::posts::((Don't mind the sp.))
Overlord, Warlord,
This fighting here is useless. What do you plan to prove and what is there to gain? Dale said best out of three....Dae said ok. ::shrugs:: Why this fighting then? If you have a question, then send a letter to Helix or Golden on the matter. Other wise just *drop* it. Yeah, drop!; some thing poeple can't get across their minds around here.

Evan:
Rest assured that I have never been closer to thinking that perhaps some barons should be tested, after all.
First, I'm sorry if your upbringing was in an environment where all was happy and light and sweet and kind, and even the slightest frown was impetus enough to cause the populace to wail about the injustice of one man's unhappy lot in life. Nevertheless, and I caution you to heed this, your definition of "fighting" and the rest of the sentient world's definition seem to have diverged somewhere back in the paleolithic era.
Second, the next time you pop your head out from under a rock and start issuing demands regarding what I, Kalamere, Dalamar - well, frankly anyone here, much less those of us who held title here while you were still soiling diapers - choose to discuss in public, I'll personally drag you between the ropes and give you a lesson.
Dalamar:
It pains me, but I must admit fault. I feel that I am forced to amend my stance to "Barons should never be tested, unless it is patently obvious that doing so saves the Overlordship from utter ruin."
I suppose none would ever have imagined the revolt ending like this.

Iain, above are the words of Evan...
>> Iain, I feel the same goes for you. you and Var are going back and forth in a childish manner of trying to get the last word. The originall topic of this thread has long been lost, I think you both should just drop it, or if you feel the need to pursue it, confront each other in the arena, or better yet, a ring. if not, use the mail system, please.<<
Above is what Huma addressed to you. ::Not including what Huma wrote to him in the post::
No, I'm not trying to get the last word in. Nor am I trying to throw mud at you. I'm just saying that if you find Evan's posting hostile, it's way beyond me how you can't find Huma's posting hostile.
Wash my hands, I will... However, to try to word this politely; wash your mouth, because every other word spoken by you seems "dirty".

"When you throw mud, your hands become dirty"
"There is only one way to achieve immortality; you must accomplish good, and let the memory of your goodness live forever, among others"
::Walks home, shrugging, thinking Iain is trying to play as "tough guy in the arena" just being all talk, judging from what he has read::

More than that, what's China? Sounds like a country, maybe.. but I never heard of it.
Hope it's a lot of tea.. then again, I'd change it for a little teabag, if it meant everyone would settle these arguments in the rings.. it's so much more interesting when blood's involved.

Var:
If you are too blind to see the difference between Evan's "If you have a question, then send a letter to Helix or Golden on the matter. Other wise just *drop* it" and Huma's "I think you both should just drop it," then I might recommend any of a good number of tutors in the English language who will be glad to offer you instructions on the difference between "implied command" and "offered opinion."
Further, if you fail to see the reeking hypocrisy inherent in your incessant pleas for niceness, which invariably end with you offering wholly unveiled insult - not only to your opponent, but to the intelligence of everyone reading your words - then you are not only blind, but a damn fool as well.
