If anyone thinks Dal is not beatable in challenge matches, I can assure them that they are incorrect. Anyone can beat Dal in a challenge match if they get lucky. And I am living proof it can be done by even the mediocre, unless you want to say that I am a lot better then than I am now (or say that I'm real good right now). Perhaps he didn't fight as hard in the match since it was only a test, but I'd find that
difficult to believe.
On the skill side of the coin, Dal is much more beatable than any of you think. Looking over all the results from Dal's challenge, I can spot a certain flaw in basically every challenger's dueling. The problem is, I am not certain I would not make the same mistake. If I could, I would be quick to serve up my list of 15.
I wish Huma luck in his challenge.

Dal has lost a defense match.
He was the second holder of the Fourth Ring, and lost it to Shade 9 in his first defense.
So, nobody is invincible. I believe that makes him 16-1 in defenses. A fantastic record, but he is not unbeatable.

::smirks and adds his own bit of te ta te'::
The amazing thing to me is this. Dalamar was a 2 - 3 dueler when he ascended the Throne.....and stayed that way awhile too. But suddenly...became a 3 - 1 dueler....or almost a 5 -0 dueler after awhile.
Stranger than that, 5 people hold that kind of consistent record in the duels, Juan Sanchez Villalobos Ramierez, going 50 and 0 before running into an unfortunate Dwarf. Fantasy RC, who went 15 straight duels in a weekend without a single loss. Falon.....who happened to be quite the hard to hit. Errol Faline, love him or hate him....he was in the 4 - 1/5-0 dueler category. And last but assuredly not least....William Ray Karnafexx...scourge of the
rings until just about Dal's reign....then suddenly he got emasculated. Went from a 5 - 0/4 - 1 dueler to a 3 - 2 dueler.
Just more things I noticed around here. Everyone flies off at the mouth about how Dal's a cheat and all....well maybe hes not......maybe he just possessed Billy Ray eh?

What do you mean by a 3-1 or a 5-0 dueler?

Just a skill scale I like to use sometimes
Out of 4 or 5 duels...most people lose 2 and win 2 or 3.
I used to be a 4 - 1 dueler...though thats definatly changed. Dalamar used to be a 5 - 3 or 5 - 2 or even 5 - 4....and he still loses a few here and there...its in challenges hes a 5 - 0
