Article: Duels and Challenges
I just wondered if anyone is for the idea?
I've challenged Rex Anglorum but we're waiting for content staff to formulate where/how I guess.

Haha somehow I have a feeling that it will be the Content Staff elite against the rest of us
I like the idea very much! though what sort of duelling do you mean exactly? Is a topic chosen and you have to write a story about it and the winning story receives some points? Or is it a debate?
Are there any links to older duels?
I will duel anyone brave enough to take me! Come at me, ye grammatically incorrect hordes!
But in all seriousness, I'd love to see this revived.
do leave your name if you give me rep. i may just return the favor. maybe.
please visit the Tale of the Week forum at: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=802 for brilliant writing, people, and brownies. with nuts, if you prefer.
We're working on it it will be back in the near future... we're in a bit of deadlock about the rules though once it's been settled then you can challenge to your heart's content
Yep, I'm ready for the show-down, get your six guns ready
Cause, I'm bringing a tank
As Boustro has said we are working on it, everything is ready save for a little aspect.
Anyway, who will take me on.
By the way, I've moved this to the Lounge.
EDIT: M, someone hasn't been checking the Chat Thread.

The layout could do with a few tweaks. I would be glad to list them, if you'd like to hear them out?
We'd love to hear your thoughts m.
And if anyone else has any feedback please go ahead.

Right, the tweaks.
The Challenges could do with a separate thread, but this is not mandatory. But then, with the current layout, the staff would have to keep up with the pace of the chat thread.The thread for issuing, receiving, and commentating on any D&C's in progress will be the WS Chat Thread - a place where the underbelly of the Study converse and make merry under the ever watchful faltering gaze of us Staff members.
I would rather the jeering, sneering, and taunting in the main challenge thread. This is because it would be difficult to do that in the chat thread amidst all the commotion. Also, it will be easier for me to write about the duels and it's buildup for the Critic's Quill.During this time we expect some good ole' fashioned snot-slinging going on, we want to see your opposition quivering in their boots as they read your last post. Once all is done dusted (you've agreed) a large crowd will have gathered, routing for their man, or whoever they've put their money on.
Unless, a point system similar to that of TotW is kept here, this will always be secondary. Writer's might abandon the duel because say the TotW, or MAARC etc. Of course, a rule could be put that a person could take only a single challenge at any point of time.After 7 days the votes will be tallied, and the winner announced. The winner will receive some 'official' staff rep, and any the crowd fell the need to give him/her, or the loser for that matter due to putting up a good fight. The winner will also have their name immortalised in the Hall of Fame... who will rise to be the 'Champion of Champions'? Win enough Duels and it may be you.
I think keeping the challenges in the chat thread is not bad, as it gives the thread some extra life. Maybe if we have several duels at the same time, we'll think of something. Let's see how it goes first. This also means that the chat thread will be the only thread for such exchange - no trash talk will be allowed in the poll thread.
We had some discussion on the reward system. There are a number of ways to go, and as I said before, let's wait and see how it turns out. This gives some flexibility to the system.
