There is a possibility for a "Einherjar Duel Tournament". In which a group of 24 will fight 1 on 1 battles and the winner will climb the ladder and have another go against the winner from an other duel. I will hopefully rent a TS-server to organize this a somewhat better which will make it easier for me.
There will be six groups, maybe less, and the "scheme-trees" will look like (*points below*) this.
For example: NaglFaar wins and faces Ulf. Blodshammar and Eirikur will face later on and the winner there will face the winner from group 2 and so on.
Hopefully I won't have too much on my hands, this will be brilliant and work flawlessly.
The tournament will be a monthly tournament. The last Friday every month (26/3-2010 for example). If I can't make it I will pass the torch to some one capable.

Tomorrow (15/02-2010) the Einherjar server will receive a password. Why? Because the server is suffering from chaos!
We don't want the new players to join in and start swinging. Then we have to notify these people about the rules, consuming our time in-game and we have to clean up the server every third minute.
This way, we know that we have duelists in our server. The duelers must visit our thread, read the rules, and claim the password. When you got the password, which will be open to public, will give us reason to ban the player because he/she knows about the rules.
We have adopted some of the "original rules" and they apply to our server. Until now, anyone who brakes or stretches any of these rules will receive a warning and/or a kick. But now, when we know that people have visited this thread we can immediately ban them. Because they are assholes.

Server updates is managed by NaglFaar. He will update the server as soon he gets the "server update" files.
Current patch: 1.113 (22/4-10)
Rules!
- First and foremost, Melee[1] only!
- Greet[2] before fight! Shall be done in a stand still! Do not kick or punch people to get their attention!
- You may not disturb players dueling! Wait for your turn!
- Once accepted, the duelers may not change weapons! Fight with what you greeted with!
- Shields! You may carry more then one but if your shield brakes you may not equip a new until after the duel[3]!
- Throwing weapons! Some uses javelins to fight with, but not throw. Thrown weapons is a major violation to the rules!
- Projectile (bows) weapons! Is not allowed. They serve no purpose in a duel server.
- Jousting[4]! If two players agree to joust they may fight. But far away from the infantry. They must not attack duelists!
- Armors! Players can wear what ever they want to wear. It's their choice if they want to be fast or slow.
- Horses[5]! You shall not use a horse to get to the dueling field, dismount, and leave it.. KILL IT!
The original duel rules can be found here. Duel Server Rules
Gentlemen's guide to dueling is also a good read through
[1] Melee: Mêlée, WikiP - "A melee ensues when groups become locked together in combat with no regard to group tactics or fighting as an organized unit; each participant fights as an individual". In "TW" aspects it means "No other weapons then one/two-handers or your ass is.. your ass is.. PAIN! Lots and lots of pain"!
[2] Greet: Greeting in the only way you will be able to rightfully engage combat. By raising your weapon above your head (over head blocking) you invite to/or accept a duel challenge. Shield users will have to raise their shields and aim them "for the sky". Just look upwards. If this does not work, jump, do any thing but harm the person to get their attention. Just, be careful not to be annoying like run around them in circles like an idiot..
[3] Shields: We highly recommend that you only use ONE shield just for pure principles. If you behave and have been around a long time and people know they can trust you, you may use more but as I said before, only one shield per duel. <-- Important!
[4] Jousting: Jousting means "cavalry vs. cavalry".. All though we approve that jousting can take place in a duel server does not mean that you should convert the server in to a jousting server.. If there are a few players who wants to engage cav vs. cav they must ask for permission. If no admins are in the server (NaglFaar, Blodshammar, Gule, Eirikur or Úlfheðinn) then jousting isn't an option. Jousting areas - [Scroll down]
[5] Horses: Some people use horses to faster get from point A to B. This is Wrong! Some players just dismounts their "vehicle" and leaves it there to.. well to do nothing. Suddenly it runs off and we have a berserk 1000 pound battering ram charging in to people dueling. Kill them when you have the chance! This includes the jousters. We do not want any stray horses..
Banhammer!
As posted before, our handling with rule-violates will be harsher. Now we know you've visited this thread to join our server or you've asked around to receive the password (which is wrong). Either way you have to follow the rules and there are no excuses.
Follow the rules and enjoy our server.
Others:
Jousting areas! The Green area is where all jousting should take place. Yellow area must be confirmed by us. But we rather you not use those areas because of spawn points and/or their general location.
The Red area isn't negotiable and is punishable by death! (more of a ban really). The red spots are there mainly because of the majority of the spawn points and are strictly forbidden!
And you may noticed that some maps have a "Green Square". These places allow you to not only joust but to fight on horse back.

"The server is locked and I can't get in. Why?!"
If it's Wednesdays or Saturdays the Einherjar and Shieldings clan have their practices in the server. You will not be able to enter the server..
The Einherjar Tournament will also take place on the last Friday of every month at 18.00-22.00.
"I was banned for [reason] and I can't come in again."
Bans will only last for 45 minutes. Come back later.
You will be banned for braking the rules or behaving childish, utter racism or similar.
We can do mistakes. We are but human. Admin bans are permanent bans..
"Can you ban [name]? He messes up the server!"
We can't always be in-game and bad things do happen. And we do not have "Great admin" powers so we can't perm-ban anyone. Sometimes twats enters the server and the duelists will have to deal with it when we aren't around.
