Folms said:Duels don't settle for anything.
I'm not biased. I see duels as a waste of time, maybe because I suck at them
But nevertheless, they do not determine anything. Some people are absolutely awful at duelling but great in a team, and it just puts them on the spot.
Sure the art of duelling should be awarded in some way or another, but that's why we have 3 people wearing helardic mail on Ludus. In my opinion, duelling needs to be kept seperate from major TEAM tournaments. Of course if two teams agree to have it duelled, then, sure who cares? But under no circumstances a team should be forced to duel and then to be called cowards.
Once again I fail to see the problem. I mean getting called cowards is hardly the end of the world and I expect most people can live with a bit of silly smack talk. No team is forced to duel so I don't really know what you're getting at.
