Rings of Honor

I considered making a game out of seeing how long it would take to point out I was 57 and not 75, but I didn't want to pay attention that long.

I've beaten the crap out of you on occasion too, Anubis. Don't think I'm not keeping tabs on you. You might become my hobby again.

Maybe it's boredom. You can't force them to duel if it's not appealing. The WLT isn't always more appealing than actually challenging either. It actually starts pretty late, and usually on a Sunday. Not everyone will want to duel in a tournament until midnight just to miss out on a prize and then ha...

Do it. See what happens. It's not like there's never been a time where warlords participated. There has. Perhaps the interest has dwindled over time and that is why there are complaints about challenges. Give the lower ranks everything you can. That'll get new warlords challenging. Or just more warl...

I fail to see where anybody said they did not want to do *anything.* I think you're projecting frustration. As I said, the ten duels over six months is fine with me, as long as it gets me the full reward of the rules. I would prefer the show of activity were not wiped after issuing a challenge. If t...

I came up with the 20-30 duels per 6 months because you are allowed 4 challenges within that time frame. A shot from the hip chance to win is 50/50. The value of the challenge is that you have a limited amount of them that you can issue over a certain period of time. And if you were issuing to the O...

The part I don't agree with is how much the SoA can be affected depending on dueling skill or pure luck. Currently you need the 10 SoA duels in order to challenge, and then they're wiped. But the rules give me two challenges per cycle? So suppose I lost that first challenge, I get another one that c...

I'm asking this to gain some perspective over the specific viewpoint of SoA duels being wiped after a challenge. What would be big problem between them being wiped or not being wiped after challenging? Keeping the SoA at 10 duels in order to challenge, then having to start all over because you chall...

I'm at work and can't scour rules at the moment. Yes, minimum SOA is ten duels in six months. However, another perspective is if you wanted to maximize the challenges allowed to you per the rules. If I recall you get twop Baronial challenges per cycle. If SOA resets after each, that ten per six mont...

Personally I would have taken a look at the rule barring people from challenging the Overlord because of 7 loyal Barons.

What if people don't bother meeting the SOA because it simply isn't worth it?

Is it worth it?

Why doesn't anyone challenge anymore?

I have my own theories, but I was curious about individual reasons. The number of challenges appear to be dwindling and aside from a tournament prize, there hasn't been one since December.

I'm willing to bet it's still the same concept that it's been since we moved from AOL to this place seven years ago. Nobody is obligated to call duels on a holiday weekend, so nobody should be upset when they don't see people in the rooms. However, if you have the time and want to call duels on thos...

Nobody said anything about turning it into DoS. I don't want it to be similar to DoS. If you write a new matrix with moves that are magic spells, keeping a setting that was created by magic, that would be based around magical characters dueling with magical spells, it can't be called the Duel of Mag...

If you really do have to ask yourself if you're the only person who doesn't think it's broken, shouldn't that tell you something? An overhaul is too drastic, too soon compared to what? There are 19 threads in this OOC folder discussing a rules change or tweak or proposal, not including the DoM4 thre...

As someone who has done DoM in the past to the point of holding titles, and then stopped, I would give it another try if there was an overhaul. I do have an interest in playing a magic-based character, but I have simply lost interest in what it takes to become established in the current DoM. It can'...
