Earwicker posted:You kind of answered your own question here. Lawyers wouldn't make any money if lawsuits were replaced with duels, and since most of our government is made of lawyers, former lawyers, and people owned by lawyers, dueling is illegal. reform our torte laws to be dueling matches instead.

Also, we do not need more ways for stupid people to prove themselves right. Cause it would totally improve things if the entire population of arfcom could go out and challenge all the minorities and liberals that they meet to duels. edit: texaholic posted:Let's be serious the banks would hire some psychopath ex military commando, who would murder everyone.

l33t b4c0n posted:What were the rules of dueling? Like if someone challenged me, couldn't I just not accept and go on being an rear end? I'm pretty sure if I'm already an rear end in a top hat, I don't care about "honor". The rules varied along with the punishment for not accepting. You could be named a coward, however there would usually be other socially accepted reasons for not accepting a dual. The reasons usually were as follows - You were deeply religious. - The challenger could be legitimately argued as either insane or had his mental faculties incapacitated at the time of offering a dual. - You could not agree on the terms of the dual. (Duals were usually expected to be fought with the same weapons, or weapons agreed before hand. If a disagreement could be found within reason, no dual) - You knew you were going to lose. (You get out of being a coward, but you recognize the other person was going to beat you AND you need to give some satisfaction for the slight, ie cash) - Mercy. If you were already known as a great fighter, you could deny a dual to a perceived lesser combatant out of mercy. Said combatant had to be married with children for that to work and you already had to have a good reputation. There were also a bunch of reasons you could postpone a dual which were considered legitimate - A national holiday or a special event, such as the coronation of a new King was happening that day or was near. The dual could be postponed till after. - Health reasons, if you were sick for example. - You were already tied into another dual. You could postpone till after that dual, assuming you live.

pretty sure most duels got cancelled the day of. both dudes showed up and realized they didnt really wanna do it and found some other way to work out their differences. that's why the seconds are there, to help negotiate at the last moment.

Also gently caress the electoral college, republicans and democrats each get to select one person but that person has to be a current governor, national senator, vice president, cabinet member, or the mayor of one of the 10 largest American cities. Anyone can be a third party candiate but you have to fight your way through a bracket to play with the big dogs in the "presidental duel", the third party candiate also starts with an unloaded gun.

Reverand maynard posted:you should try it out He's right (in ). Mutual combat is a legal defense. State of Iowa v Christopher Spates, 2010 posted:Mutual combat is more than a reciprocal exchange of blows. It requires a mutual intention, consent, or agreement preceding the initiation of hostilities. A charge on mutual combat is warranted only when the combatants are armed with deadly weapons and mutually agree to fight. Thus, an express or tacit agreement to engage in violence, while sufficient, is not required; it is enough that there was a concurrent or mutual expectation that a street battle would ensue....

Because the state has amassed too much power and wants to be the only one that decides who lives and who dies, op. Its like that everywhere. Times were different before the world wars and nationalism.

The usual scenario this occurred was when someone did something to piss off a whole bunch of people at once, and usually there was a woman involved. A funny story I remember. If memory serves me right there was an incident in Poland where a woman was supposed to be married off to a guy in another family, but then eloped with a lowly Polish Knight. This caused her father, her former fiance, and her brother to challenge her husband to duels all at the same time. There was then a disagreement on who was going to have the honor of fighting him first, and ended up that her former fiance and her brother ended up dueling each other first in order to see who would fight the Knight. The brother then won that duel and then decided to withdraw his challenge to the knight after the fact. Shadoer fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Nov 21, 2014 |

Yeah here in Washington we have mutual combat laws, in practice if you get into a fight with someone when the police show up and the situation looked fair and you both say we were fighting each other you are off the hook, if it went into a crowd or something you could be charged with disturbing the peace or disorderly conduct but usually they just separate you and leave

Andrew Jackson quote:Contemporaries described Jackson, who had already served in Tennessee's Senate and was practicing law at the time of the duel, as argumentative, physically violent and fond of dueling to solve conflicts. Estimates of the number of duels in which Jackson participated ranged from five to 100. quote:At the first signal from their seconds, Dickinson fired. Jackson received Dickinson's first bullet in the chest next to his heart. Jackson put his hand over the wound to staunch the flow of blood and stayed standing long enough to fire his gun. Dickinson's seconds claimed Jackson's first shot misfired, which would have meant the duel was over, but, in a breach of etiquette, Jackson re-cocked the gun and shot again, this time killing his opponent. pretty metal though

german dueling codes got updated after ww1 to call for six shots from a revolver followed by close combat with a trench spike, because after youve been strafed with machine guns and artillery suddenly matchlocks and cavalry sabers just arent that big a deal anymore

then again german codes during the late 19th century made zero bones about the fact that you were here to settle an honor debt and if you pussied out like some frenchman after merely getting blooded then nothing was resolved and you were a double bitch, so i guess the take-away here is that germans have always been a little creepy
