::laughs::

Dear little boy Ace~

Aye, Adonai does act like a poisoned dog sometimes, but at least he has the ability to back up his words, unlike you aparantly. And another thing, at least he's right *once* in a while. So far, you haven't been right once.

::Reads all the posts, including the red one, then chuckles::

Okay so basically you all want me to put up or shut up, is that right? I am willing to put it up, but it seems Adonai wont answer to my private challenges for a duel. And as for me being scum for being a commoner, then I guess everyone had to be scum sometime or another for no one can skip over the commoner rank. And what if I beat Adonai? What then? You all said I'll get respect or at least an apolagy. But I think its all talk for none of you
believe I can beat him. But I can, and I will prove it. ::Snarls:: Then after I beat that worthless Adonai, I am going to set a higher goal, and an even higher one. Until I am at the acme which any duelist can reach. And believe me....I WILL BEAT ADONAI!

Ace!

::sighs at the constant posting::

Friends and Patrons of the Duels,

Is it really worth any of our time to continue arguing with Ace? I implore all of you to take this up in a private forum if you desire to continue the battle, because you are only lowering yourselves to his level.

::nods::


I agree with Dalamar here, and Ace has directed his poisonous bile directly at me. He is causing meaningless argument and strife within the community and I suggest we deal with him in the same manner we deal with anyone that disrupts the slight tranquility we have here at times. As to challenges...he has offered none. He makes a point of not being around to duel when I am here. So for lack of a better expression, to hell with him. I will
not waste further want or breath on someone that does little but bark like a small dog, but runs when the stick comes out. I suggest that everyone else do the same.

::careful to not stoop down::

Ace -
If you hope to beat Adonai, it will take much practice, and learning. He's been around a while, and for good reason. By keeping your composure, and not feeling a need to get the last word over everybody every single time, you'll go a lot farther. Stay calm, keep dueling, and someday maybe you will become good enough to earn the ability to challenge Adonai. The ability is in all of us, but we must find the drive inside us. You rise in the
ranks with your sword, not your mouth. Turn the other cheek to those that attack you (while not attacking others, of course) and someday you may become a great dueler. Improve in your dueling over time, and in your people skills. I wish you luck in your journey, long as it my seem and/or be.

This is supposed to be a mud-free, nonhypocritical, non-churlish, peacemaking, generally supportive statement. Any questions?

::Reads all the messages, then bursts out laughing::

Adonai,
I have challenged you a great many times. How many times have I said to you "Get in the ring", and how many times did you ignore that? I am more than willing to face you. That is all I wanted.I just want you to set a time and place. Whatevers best for you. As for me not having the ability to beat Adonai. Adonai has no skill. The only reason he's won a few is because he got lucky. I know that I can beat him easily. And I think he knows it too. But
after all this, if I beat him, he knows he'll be humiliated. That is why he never gets in the ring with me. So Adonai, if you can gather all the courage you you, which isn't much, just set a time and date.

Okay.

End of the charade. You haven't ever challenged me. You've never been around when I am.

Show up tonight for official duels boy.

In case you've forgotten, official duels are from 8 - 2 by the Eastern Sun.

Time to put up or shut up.

No you didn't.

I stated a time and a place. I sent the missive to you via fast messenger.

You were not there. Everyone saw that.

Quit wasting my time and the time of the people here.

For lack of a better expression, shut your bleeding yap.

::a slight laugh comes to his belly::

Ace,

i have read the post here with an open mind. Yes once everyone was a commoner, although I don't think anyone here really wants to admit to that.
::shakes his head as if tasting cough syrup, and mutters:: I was even a commoner.

Yet you fail to see the picture. While i haven't checked on it I think everyone that you have pissed off so far are not commoners now. And most haven't been for a long time. Now I... I have only been around two weeks. Thats it. Two little weeks. But i have yet to see someone with your mentality. I look at you and see a scared little kid. Adonai has outright challenged you to a match, publicaly. You have said that you too
have challenged him. Well let me make a challenge to you.... Put your challenge on this post board. Put a time, place and date. Now that would be something to see. For I am sure that everyone here would make it a point to watch you get spanked. Ace, to make the acusations that you have said, you should at least be able to back them up. It is one thing to think them, it is another to do them. Perhaps you should have kept your feelings to yourself
until you were able to do something about it. It is obvious that you need more practice in your dueling sir. A baby that is just learning to walk could not beat the grown adult in a race. Now even I would not have challenged Adonai or any other Warlord for that matter. Even though in my two weeks of being here i have learned enough to become a Warlord myself.. ::Quickley checks all his fights, and does some quick math to make sure:: Yes i have. Yet i
never challenged any Warlords. And why...was i afraid....No. It was because i new that i had not learned enough of the art of dueling to even step in the ring with them. Even now i know that my bottom will become sore as i step into the ring with them to learn. Yet the main reason i did not fight these Warlords was out of respect. They have earned their right. They have earned the right to talk....after all they can back it up. You, and I...we have
not earned the right to talk. So what i am trying to say...and probably not well, is that you need to show some respect. They have worked hard to get where they are. It wasn't just luck. So i say that you leave this alone and make an apology. I think more would respect you for that. For respect is a two way street. If you respect them...they will respect you. If you don't want to leave this alone...and somehow i dont think you do...then make a public
challenge. And when..and IF you do, i will personally be there to watch you learn something that day.
Just adding my thoughts. Sorry to ramble on.

::slaps his head::

Oh yeah...ummm. Because i have only been around a short while..i...ummm... i look forward to meeting any and all people in and out of the ring. I swear I dont bite....well unless you pay me. ::smiles:: Oh yeah..also my amnesia is gone and i have a past that i can put down. ((any who have seen my profile now what i mean)). Besides that, may all your paths be made of golden leaves, and i look forward to meeting you.

::Laughs as he reads all posts::
Shiver, or whoever you are...
All I have to say to that is.. better watch yourself or you'll have amnesia again.
Adonai, the reason I did not attend was because i didnt get your message until the day after you challenged me. But thats okay, because i challenge you to a duel tonight in the duelers arena...at eight. So I am going to be there.. are you..
