The thing is, you try to turn attention to me when I have nothing to do with this challenge. I pointed out your mistake and you tried to deflect attention to me. That's that.

And hey, I've lost many more challenges than I've won. It doesn't bother me. I just dust myself off and try again. If you somehow manage to make Overlord, I'll come right back at you. Why? Because you're a looney who doesn't have an ouce of respect for the sport.

Oh yeah, that little group you say likes to makes insults makes most of them to each other. The rest are reserved for low-lifes such as yourself.

Fellow Members of the Duels,

Though I anticipate that my words may likely fall on deaf ears, I would encourage any and all of you not to engage in such antagonistic banter over issues which are of such little importance in the greater scheme of things.

I know it has been said many times, but such mud-slinging, though often justified in a way and even occasionally amusing, erodes the quality of the community at large and the sport, as Nova so aptly called it, that most of us know and enjoy.

If anybody truly feels strongly enough about such minor points to spew such forceful venom, I would suggest using the rules of the sport to settle any potential disputes. To be sure, it is a far more effective option then the endless finger-pointing and name-calling that has been tried so often in the past.

sincerely,
Lord Dalamar Ar'Daumon

P.S. For the record, the instance of Draven is an entirely different matter, given that his challenge was offered prior to the next public posting of the standings (an action that has since been outlawed by the rules).

That, to clarify Cas's history lesson, was the reason for my displeasure at the time. Though, as others around at the time could likely recount, there were plenty of other things that Draven and I found distasteful about each other. However, the specific anecdote to which Cas was referring stemmed from Draven's need to be quick on the figurative draw.

Cletus, on the other hand, waited the appropriate amount of time before challenge could be rightly made, and that is precisely why I find nothing wrong or dishonorable with his actions.

I think...

When I challenge Daelin, cause he's the next on the list of Barons who need a challenge at some point in time, should I win, I might challenge Dalamar asap just to piss off Marzan.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd be entertained by it. Then, if I were to beat Dal, I'd give him the Barony so he could challenge challenge me right back before Marzan could.

We could have a nice cycle of challenging just to irritate him.

Or, wait, it's not all about Marzan, is it?

Just putting my hat into the ring of pointless, meaningless, and trite petty insulting or whatever for this Sport.

Did I mention I like Beef?

This bickering about the Overlord challenge is really taking away from the match itself.

I am looking forward to a great match between Cletus and Dalamar.

I do have an interest in Cletus winning because I don't think he will let Cas hide behind him. I have no personal ill will with Dalamar at all and feel he has done well in being present and participating in the DoS.

So, I look forward to the match and I expect I will learn from it.

My apologies, then. I wasn't around then, and the histories are rather fuzzy on the issue.

"Cletus, on the other hand, waited the appropriate amount of time before

wrong or dishonorable with his actions. "

I never said that I thought there was any dishonor in Cletus's challenge, or at least I didn't mean to say that. What I meant to say was that it could be seen as dishonorable from a certain point of view. I did say, however, that in the real world, intelligence will get you farther than honor. You can argue that Cletus jumping ahead of Marzan was dishonorable or not dishonorable if you want, but you can't argue that it was the smart thing to do.

Very honorable and exemplary of you. Enjoy your righteous, self-important world where you never do wrong and over react. See you in the rings.

"You can argue that Cletus jumping ahead of Marzan was dishonorable or not dishonorable if you want.."

Just as an aside, I made my intentions known on what I would do should Dalamar defeat Ticallion and I not received challenge. This happened much earlier than Marzan's public notice. However, I don't put any stock in intentions, only action.

I challenged immediatly because I think that the Supreme Dueler should meet one challenge after another. This is what I hoped for when I was Overlord.

Dalamar was at one point in time the greatest clutch dueler this sport had, and due to my own mistake I was denied the chance to meet him then. Thursday night I hope to eventually meet Dalamar, as he has never defeated me rings. However with his title on the line, I expect a much closer match and well fought match. And that is the only reason I continue to come back to this damp basement, for a close and difficult match.
