Last time I dueled him, I almost had him killed but then he logged off, logged back in 10 seconds later and continued the duel.

It's just not worth it to duel some people ya know?

First of all, Haelmistrum beat Icerolose MULTIPLE times. Now with that settled.

Second of all, prior to the duel Kranar and Haelmistrum agreed on a 'no rules' duel. Hence 'no rules'. He used a quake(709) amulet(Kranar can’t cast this) to get him to 80 RT. After he did that Haelmistrum simply re-logged and killed him. Yep, you almost had him killed, that 80 RT brough him to 3 HP!

Sorry we all don't make idiotic excuses like you, Deprav.

No! That's the thing... he took pride in his win! He logged out, and came back in thus eliminating the RT and declared himself the victor of the duel.

In anycase, it's just a point about how some people aren't worth dueling. The boulder these days is getting more and more like what the elitists claim them to be.

It's unfortunate, it wasn't always this way, it sometimes still isn't this way... but with the ongoing trend, it's becoming that way.

- Lord Kranar, human Archwizard remembering the days when people dueled for fun and not to win. reg

But he didn't kill me! Ya, because you ran.

Ooh! Johnny is beating me up. I am going to run home to my Mom until his back is turned!

Hardy har har! The day the very concept of honor and the boulder or even dueling come together is the day I truly laugh in amazement.

I am still laughing.

Where is the honor in having a duel over nothing?

Soandso says, "Wanna duel?"
Otherguy says, "Sure."

The two proceed to beat the crap out of each other.

Honor has nothing to do with this situation. It's a bunch of bored little boys with too much testosterone and not enough imagination to find something constructive to do with their time. Or it could be a bunch of PMSed girls who haven't discovered Motrin yet.

There is no honor in dueling over a botched attempt at stealing. There is no honor in dueling over someone who kills a critter in the room where someone else was already pounding on it.

There is honor in challenging someone who has offended his honorable and virtuous lady. There is honor in dueling someone who has insulted their queen, or their god/dess.

Or has the definition of honor been changed, and no one bothered to tell me?

And yes you have beat Icerolose a few times. Its not that hard when your 17 trains over them, and have a connection 10 times as fast, scripting the first move.
If my cable gets back up and running we can try again.

Also you need to stop 'assuming' that every duel is to the death. That still pisses me off. I came back to the boulder last time ready to kill you if you didn't give me a deed gem. I still don't know why you did.. But I was dissapointed I didn't get to murder you.

Duels are to stun unless otherwise stated.

And Desharei, this is a game. Whether someone thinks they do something for honor or not, its not your place to call them immature or anything else. People duel for different reasons. I had a few paragraphs explaining why I have dueled.. then acknowledged the fact that why I duel isnt the reason everyone else who duels does it. There are quite a few reasons.. Whether they are good or not doesn't matter. People want to have fun, why do you have to insult people for doing something just because you don't. All those reasons you say people duel for.. and that there isnt any honor in doing it. Those are some of the only reasons to duel in game. You want to see people dueling because ones wearing a blue rose and the other a black one?

Also perhaps you should look up the definition of honor. You'd be surprised how well it could fit into our everyday duels.

As for the duel Thats an interestin interpretation for no rules, im against it but think hed win on the technachality, no rules means nothing whatsoever, for what its worth RUSVAL

[This message has been edited by LordKranar (edited 07-29-2001).] reg

Afterall there must be a rule that governs winning right?

In anycase, our intentions difference when he said no rules. My intention was that since I was handicapped by 30 trainings, no rules would imply that I could be granted some imbeddible items. His intention of no rules was that should he lose and have that threaten his ego and status, to log off immediatly.

But if we are speaking strictly "No rules" then there is no winner, there is no loser, there isn't even a duel.

Now - what part of these definitions, as offered by www.dictionary.com, applies to

>Joe says, "I'm bored. wanna duel?"
>Sue says, "sure."

What part applies to

>Joe says, "You stole my kobold!"
>Sue says, "Did not, was chasing!"
>Joe says, "Liar, you're dead! You thief!"
Joe and Sue fight and Joe brings in Big Brother 2nd Account character to kill Sue.

>Joe says, "Ha ha I win my big brother 2nd character has a strong enough AS to pound Blades so just watch it!"

What part of the dictionary definitions of honor apply to these scenarios?

As for Rusval, you're a bit lost my friend. I haven't played GemStoneIII in over a year, and that was only for one month. I quit playing 2 years ago and came back to check out the new limb disruption. Haven't been back since. This isn't news, I've posted as such elsewhere.

And it's not dribble, it's drivel. If you're going to insult me, please attempt to learn the correct words.

You went to far in trying to prove a point again.

Honor in Kranar battle is. He fought a person 30 trainings above him. To test his skills.(honorable) He had the person beaten, they ran.(logged out of the game)(cowardly)

You brought poaching into it. That had nothing to do with this thread. Take that elsewhere.

Guess those honorable knights that jousted are nothing but pathetic children to you. What was they fighting for? Family honor maybe?

Should look at your life. All you go do is try and tell everyone that they are children and worthless.(honorless) Think you got some issues you need help with. Judging people without knowing them is a real bad character flaw.

It's rather amusing how you think he beat Haelmistrum. If he did beat him, I could care less. But Haelmistrum wasn't the one who died at the end, so in reality I could care less what your opinions are.

Can't you see a connection? I just wish instead of argueing against the boulder she just changed her arguement towards the few who make it a more and more shameful place.

Sorry that was kinda insulting. But it is wrong for you to brag about it since the character was totally purchased and wasn't YOUR character. If it was, well, then I would shake your hand. It maybe ooc leaving the game...but he did say no rules which was very interesting interperation of the no rules theory. You would have surprised the heck out of me.

Lord Deprav
Sorry Kranar just had to say my piece on the matter. Won't happen again. (But I know you had to get a little chuckle out of it.) reg

That duel was between me and two other people. It had nothing to do with Kranar, somehow he brought himself into the situation. He said I logged out for 10 seconds, this is totally inaccurate. If it ‘is not my character’ then simply do not duel. If you’re going to duel then do not make excuses after you get beat.

[This message has been edited by Pirub9 (edited 07-31-2001).] reg

No rules - means anything goes? logging out, etc. All of that is fair.

Ok, so next time, get Drizzsdt or Malok down there and have'em smoke'em as soon as they walk into the room.

After all, its no rules and there is no countdown, nothing against bringing other people into the duel.

Heck, since there is no rules - just kill them on sight from then on. After all, there is no rule that you can only kill them one time.

Slamming after you get your butt kicked is truly pathetic. At least Haelmistrum should have had the guts to stand there and take it from Kranar.

A dishonorable coward - but he "won". Congrats. A truly proud victory. reg
