Duel in front of Congress

[Dan the Man]

Okay, first, some ground rules. This is to be fought with sword only, and is to be non-lethal. Also, as always, Barry says no God-modding.

Chevalier stands with sword ready, urging Pappas to make the first move.

"I'm going to gut you, like a Cornish Game Hen!"

[Prodigal]

Pappas jabbed for Chevalier's stomach.

[Barry Goldwater]

The prepared Mr. Chevalier parries John Pappas' attack with his own sword.

However, Chevalier's counter-attack falls short, and both combatants have some time and space to make their next move.

[Prodigal]

Must we continue fighting, John? We are in the same party, this is silly!

[Dan the Man]

Chevalier attempts makes a low cut, going for Pappas' legs, but stops himself.

"However much I hate to admit it, Pappas, you're right. Such fighting is a silly waste of time. I think we can put aside our differences for the greater good, can't we?"

[Prodigal]

Indeed.

Pappas returns to congress.

[Dave Strider]

Fight Fail!

[Dan the Man]

I believe that would be "Peace win"

[Dave Strider]

As a General of the US Military, I'm an advocate of violence

[Dan the Man]

Even if it's two respected congressmen about to seriously maim (albeit, not kill) each other in front of the capital building?

[Dave Strider]

Even more so. That's capitalism for you; two men get maimed, a third gets both of their money.

[Dan the Man]

In Communism 500,000,000 people get killed and nobody gets any money

[Dave Strider]

In capitalism, a civil war kills 1/5 of all it's partakers just to keep the southern half ruled over by the northern half.

[Dave Strider]

Oh yes, I went there.

[Dan the Man]

Every dollar spent or earned for the wrong reasons or by the wrong means once rested in the hands of an evil man, Fred. All people, communist and capitalist alike are capable of being that man.
Now, please, I don't think you want to get into this, not here.

[Dave Strider]

I don't.

I'm just saying, don't put all the in my corner when your corner smells too.

[Dan the Man]

Your corner smells worse...

[Kip]

Dan can pay a guy to clean out his corner, too.

OH NO HE DI INT

[Barry Goldwater]

OK people, save the Communism-Capitalism debate for the D&D.

[Marshy]

Dan can pay a guy to clean out his corner, too.

OH NO HE DI INT

Kip you funny
