as per the tin, dueling with shipmates is a no-no, so what do you do ? :fight: HELP!

A) one of you leaves the ship

or

B) you both agree on the list to be friends and neither of you turns up for the duel...and you put in orders saying that you will not duel a shipmate under any circumstances...

And if I want to kill him B) :xcite:
I take it that its a 50/50 that I get busted.
Has anyone ever been done yet in the game for dueling ?

From June's turn:

Only one meeting this month and our roving reporter was there to see it all.

So Gents I was there and these two Gentlemen TJ and SAB turn up so we have some action at least. They both look ready and up for it and seem evenly matched.

So off they go they circle each other testing the defences and SAB lands the first blow, not a deep one but it hurts none the less. Now feeling a bit more confident they start to get down to it SAB strikes out and hits TJ, who in turns sends a sharp reply and also hits SAB, but not as deep. By now they are sweating a tad and the assembled Gents can see they have a real fight on their hands and the wagers start rising. SAB lands another blow, but

TJ lands a heavy one in return, now SAB looks concerned, but puts a brave face on it. They circle each other again but more warily now, respecting each others skill. Suddenly SAB tries a slash that hits a glancing blow, whereas TJ lands a beauty that has SAB staggering backwards. Realising that he is far too weak to continue he declares in TJ’s favour.

However that is not the end of it, no Sir’s not by a long chalk. As these two Gents are shipmates they are in disgrace and face a possible court martial from the Port Admiral. But not wishing to incur the Admiralties wrath they both volunteer for the Blockade squadron and re last seen walking to their lodgings to collect their sea trunks and head off to sea!
