I fail to see the point in argueing the subject of whether Falablah was a Warlord or not. Seeing more than 2 posts on this subject is rather disturbing. It has absolutely nothing to do with anything. It only makes the conversation drift from the substantial and productive to the insubstantial and unproductive.

You guys can't be serious. Saying these people don't have the "skill" to compete in the ring. It's all a game of chance. You don't know what your opponent is doing. So therefore you are completely in the dark. I may be a commoner but I have alot more knowlege than most of you

This is a pathetic fight over one peer win but to set the record straight, i was a warlord when Darkenss2 defeated me. He was also a Warlord, so thats a peer win. It doesn't matter that because i lost the duel i went down in rank the next week.

"Sr Spiffy",

You write thus:
<<You guys can't be serious. Saying these people don't have the "skill" to compete in the ring. It's all a game of chance. You don't know what your opponent is doing. So therefore you are completely in the dark. I may be a commoner but I have alot more knowlege than most of you>>

DoS is not a game of chance. It is a sport where one person wins by outwitting the other. It is true that you do not know what your opponent will do, but you do know what he cannot. Both try to move in a way that the other person cannot score, and whoever out thinks the other gets the point. The "skill" involved in DoS is the ability to read what your opponent will do. You can never be sure, but there is evidence that those with the most
skill in doing this stay at higher ranks longer.

Good Day.
