Message: [QUOTE="D J B, post: 4028825, member: 11270"] This whole dueling thing is actually rather complicated, while still being very simple. I have attached the Code Duello, from 1777, below. Please note rule 25, regarding seconds disagreeing and deciding to duel it out themselves. With players from the BY involved it could get a little bloody since "at the same time and at right angles with their principals" is how that would be played. Not quite sure if the seconds get to have their own seconds, but I could envision a 360 circle with BYers spaced around evenly. The forum is sometimes bloody enough as is, but played out on a foggy field at 7am underneath a few towering oaks would provide fodder for many years of discussion. It would certainly clear the air for a little while. Cell phones required for video.
