Has anyponer ever thought of using a video game to settle an internet argument, like a 1v1 game, fighting or FPS, as a duel of sorts? Is this already a thing? Can we make this happen concurrently with mlpol.net, or would there be too many complications with OPSEC? Posting here, let me know if it should move to /qa/.

Have at you!

Thanks brother, but if the above behavior is the kind that's deemed okay on this website I don't think I should be anywhere close to it, real world consequences or no. Anyway, I think I'm just gonna go take a break for now. Peace be with you poners.

It's no more asinine than an actual duel, tbh. Shooting someone doesn't prove an argument.
I don't think duels are really meant to resolve arguments in the first place though, just prove "honor".

So this idea is directly stolen from an anon on a comment related to Spike's reasoning to everyone else, how as a king all/many issues should be in song.
Using song, music, and singing (15.ai poner voices maybe) to demonstrate your points and counter points. So that the main ideas are present and why and how.
Afterwords...
Perhaps an anonymous co-authored (depending on how many sides of an issue is at play) song(s) to open new opportunities?

So that the lyrics (possible metronome and other factors maybe visual direction as well) and points to be considered is at the pinnacle of what they could be.
Breathing life into a song that has technical and logical application value as well. Memes that transcends the so called triad of meme etymology.

In pones it's a group effort at times. This is to attempt to create the best of ideas. So a bitter moment is always accompanied with superior works.

Not crying, buddy, at least not right now, though I suppose you couldn't say the same about the abject display of yours over on /qa/.

I'm going to try and level with you here anon. I left because your tone was rather ambiguous about whether or not you intended to try to doxx me, which is something I take very seriously, and is something that I believe an upstanding and honorable anon, given this type of situation, would immediately and unequivocally deny upon being asked about it, with no doubt left in the other anon's mind that that nothing of that sort would come of the situation; and that you didn't, to me, speaks volumes about your present character and to a desperate state of mind.
So let me be perfectly clear about what would happen if you were to get up to doing something like that, and I caught wind of it, the consequences of which behavior being listed as follows: your actions would be brought to light and you would be found out, if not that night, or the next week, or month, or year, or decade, and you would be made to pay for whatever damages might be accrued relative to what I had suffered thusly. Just so we're clear on that subject.

As for the other kinds of abusive rhetoric that you seem to think is okay of spewing whenever you feel like it due and leading to the disgrace that you've suffered, I don't enjoy lowering myself to namecalling in an attempt to resolve petty disputes online or anywhere really, which is why you've been let off easy on that one. Please note that you're contributing nothing to the well-being of the community or exchange of ideas by doing so, and are pretty much only making an ass of yourself that nobody wants to be around, but I suppose you already knew that. Still hope you get help, but that's really more for your own sake.

But seriously, maybe you didnt notice, but you're the one coming up with all sorts of paranoid delusions because someone on the internet refuted your pwecious ideah.

Settling debates with videogame duels has to be the most retarded thing I've heard this year, and here's why.

Duels with swords give people a chance to get their anger out of their system, display their strength/speed/skill to onlookers, and punish those who have done them wrong. Duels with pistols give people a chance to gun down foes that might otherwise be backed up by gangs and families eager to get into blood fueds with your family/home, while ensuring the swiftest gunman in the west reigns supreme. It lets men back their words with violence and protect their reputation with violence, it lets men intimidate others into not risking duels over anything not legitimately important enough to risk your life over. Duels can end in bloodshed or simply end after a victor spares the loser. Without duels, someone can slander you endlessly with no means of counterattack beyond responding in kind, engaging in a costly legal battle (that might not even be possible if you don't share a country/legal system), hiring a private investigator to find something you can use to destroy your attacker's credibility in the eyes of the mob the attacker is sending after you, none of these options let you beat the shit out of your slanderer or kill her.

If some libtard cuck insisted whites shouldn't exist and backstabbed you in Team Fortress 2 to "prove it", would that genuinely make his jewish argument valid? If some muslim insisted his demonic Baphomet (aka Mohammed)-worshipping people are victims and Christians are oppressors and then facerolled your ass in Street Fighter V using unfair unreactable 50-50 mixups would that make his idiocy remotely tolerable by any civilized society that's worth being called rational? If some small-time gaming league was paid by leftists to "beat bullies" and kill+teabag gamers unafraid to talk about the dancing israelis, would that actually matter to the validity of any argument?

Surely you can't actually believe that. Surely, you jest.

In a rational society that prioritizes facts and logic over physical force, duels are an outdated notion with few benefits and plenty of downsides, such as the ways they can be used to bypass the legal system and let the deadliest criminals escape justice. Duels work best in societies with limited or no police, an era of Murder Warrants and "Wanted: Dead Or Alive" posters. An era where the able-bodied common man is encouraged to use force for the good of his community and the protection of its people. Not an era where this is best left to highly-trained professionals, or a corrupt era where the use of force is exclusively a privilege only the rich and their enforcers can enjoy without dire legal consequences from the revenge-obsessed jewish """justice""" industry.

There is no risk of death involved in gaming. There is no risk of humiliation in the eyes of the mainstream public as most people don't really give a shit about the finer points of hardcore gaming or what separates a clever trick from a cheap trick. A hard-working man with a job can get muscles from physical labour, muscles that would be useless trying to beat some cheap bullshit in TF2 from some NEET with nothing stopping him from dedicating almost all waking hours alive to the game, but excellent when used to beat the stupid out of some antifa NPC shouting "fashist" until he's blue in the face.

A white man who takes care of his physical and mental health and prepares for """a potential zombie apocalypse""" has important things to do. Things more important than gaming for hours every single day. Things more important than getting dragged into some esports bullshit over arguments that can stand on their own merits.

We are right, in case you haven't noticed. White people are right to say they should have a place to live. White people are right to say their civilization should be protected from jewish corruption. White people are right to say they should create a place for their children and secure their future. We don't need to get into silly gaming feuds that could make a few gooming-obsessed retards respect us more or backfire and make them think we're a bunch of faggots. We're fucking white. We are truth. We are reason. We don't need this bullshit. Our arguments work because they make more sense than weaponised leftist confusion. Our information spreads despite the best efforts of the (((globalists))) because it is truthful.

I shouldn't need to beat some twat in a game of Pokemon before he'll give logic a chance and admit the smokestacks at Aushwitz aren't even connected to the main building or its so-called "gas chambers" with wooden doors.

Please don't claim that I'm being overly harsh or hostile to your idiotic idea. I've tried to cut out personal insults towards you where possible, and you might notice that I've never once insinuated that you're a jewish fedboy here to start retarded arguments and play the needlessly-attacked oppressed victim in need of rescue when rightfully criticized. You genuinely need to think of better ones if you want to help white people. Get your head out of your ass and try harder.

Duels aren't really about being right or proving an argument. They're moreso about "honor", or whatever.
If it's a way for two gamers to settle a dispute for an argument that they already know they'll never agree on, it might not be that bad.
It would require both parties to be confident in their proficiency at the game, and would mean that they'd need to already be part of the same gaming community. If such an event can even be organized, the two parties must see eye to eye enough to be able to call it quits in the name of sportsmanship.

But since this situation has gotten way out of control since the start, my feelings indeed do matter to me, I'm spent, and I want to be a pain in nobody's ass, I'm just going to bail for as long of a while as I'm able and let you gents handle it.

I mean, it could be worth a shot. Would also be an experiement to test the practicality of an internet duel.
It would need:
>1. A semi-neutral game (easy game, or game both players are confident at their skills in)
>2. An easy medium that players could game on
>3. An audience to witness
>4. Terms for a short match

I'd be willing to do some kind of friendly to begin with, but I nuked my Windows install a month or two ago and I hadn't been playing any games at all pretty much for half a year leading up to then, so not only would I need to find a game that worked well enough on my Linux distro, I would also want a bit of practice to remove whatever rusted edges might be there, and in case it wasn't already obvious I possess an almost extreme paranoia when it comes to OPSEC so that would need to be sated as well.

All that being said, there would seem to be significant technical hurdles to be overcome, but it's not like I've got much better to do. That would provide an incentive to learn more about cybersecurity, the way I see it, whether the idea takes off or not.

I can research a couple open source games in the meantime. In fact there's likely a few what would formerly be flash games that could be played in a browser like Tanks from back in the day, but I was thinking more along the lines of swordfighting or FPS; the bar for competency and computing power to play it likely needing to be low at least for now. The issue then becoming how to host a stream securely; movie night is done on joshwhotv, and although that's something I'd want to be incredibly careful about, since it would just be too easy to show a screenshot of a window I didn't mean to keep open, I do think there would be decent workarounds to it like using a fresh install just for that purpose either on bare metal or in a VM. To use a third party for hosting the game would be something that needed to be ironed out as well.

If someone argued "jews did nothing wrong" and then kicked my ass in tekken to "prove it" what would that actually prove? That I have things to do besides playing Tekken? That someone who plays Tekken more than me should have been the one to represent the truth and the interests of all whites in a videogame button pressing contest?
Physical duels with the risk of death and injury have their place in settling personal disputes and giving faggots a reason not to slander you or fuck with you. But the truth isn't something force can settle.
I don't want to come across as overly hostile but I legitimately don't understand why anyone could think this is a good idea. I don't understand why anyone would keep insisting on this duel. If we win a duel with some leftist cunt we win nothing because leftists never admit defeat unless they think it will save their lives. If we get beaten in a video game they laugh at us and feel like they've achieved some kind of legitimate and worthwhile victory over us. It makes no sense for us to temporarily put objective truth to one side and stake our pride on an arbitrary competition when we have nothing to gain.
"totally owning teh libtards" might be fun but it is only politically valuable when we can show our victories to people who haven't joined us and get them on our side.
The "He will not divide us" videos were valuable because it exposed Shia LeFag and his lefty followers as insane mindless NPCs that are hilarious to fuck with. It was valuable because leftists want to look like "the good rebels against hayte and waycism" and untouchable intimidating all-powerful rulers who enforce their party's authoritarian laws on you.

These are fair points to bring up, and truth be told I didn't come here necessarily to pitch an idea; the reason for posting the OP was more along the lines of hashing out general questions like these, but as one can see the thread's gotten massively derailed before, and that's something that a topic like this was broached in the effort of hoping to avoid.

>If someone argued "jews did nothing wrong" and then kicked my ass in tekken to "prove it" what would that actually prove?
It would prove that both parties had honor and were willing to stand up for their name, even though they risked humiliation, or even in their case injury or death to stand by it, not necessarily whatever either parties thought of a given situation. In fact a lot of the slander that triggered challenges of a duel, at least in the South during the 19th century (not necessarily the Wild West), was unsubstantial towards whether or not it was fair game to fight over; and in many cases this was resolved before the duel was carried out by kin or close friends of the challengers that talked about it and tried to sate both persons' sense of dignity; and even when it came to an actual fight, after weeks or months of negotiation, the vast majority of the time it did not end in fatality, only about a fifth of the time did it do that, the vast majority of other times shots were purposely either fired into the air or at an appendage.
The South, furthermore, wouldn't have put up a fight in the Civil War unless there was a code of honor that they strictly had adhered to during that time; Bobby Lee, among the shrewdest of generals of Dixie, has been famously quoted to have believed more in the ideals of the North, but that he was bound by a sense of honor to fight for the South. When Hitler signed a treaty to settle his disputes with France's military, he had been congratulated as restoring the honor of Germany in the same train car as the first world war armistice in Compiègne.
So I could've been clearer in the OP. This isn't supposed to be attempting to solve problems of determining who's right or who's wrong, this is more about avoiding unnecessary tongue-lashings and for those on the board to act civil in discussion, because that tends to be how ideas get hashed out, rather than calling someone else a bad name. Imagine if your CPU queried RAM and got called a faggot or worse every once in a while; at best the computer's capability of getting something done would be tarnished, and that's a more generous example, because computers are cold and humans warm or even hotheaded. Likewise Germany would never have pulled itself out of the Weimar era and became one of the world's most respected fighting forces had it not cared about a sense of honor and everyone was busy slandering their Aryan neighbors all the time.
4chan's unspoken rules of days past, and those written on this website as well have exhibited an influence by a little book called Fight Club, where men that needed to blow off steam would go into the basement of a rundown bar and fight it out once in a while, and that wasn't due to any particular slight or insult. Those rules being "the first and second rules of fight club are not to talk about fight club," and that whole book was written based on a brotherly code of honor that has thus been alluded to. An attempt is being made to tap into a more primal instinct here, as in the West there's a crisis of honor as we speak, and this seemed like it could be a good place to start remedying that. I'm certainly okay with being wrong, but I am most certainly not okay with being insulted.

But at this point, I think it would be more valuable to just go the empirical route, and see if it works out. At worst we've wasted a couple minutes or hours trying something new, and at best if someone's got a new idea that they're trying to pitch or get feedback on they don't get called a faggot over and over again as a crutch in case their challengers don't have a substantial argument. It's rooted in self-depracating irony; fun is something that must most certainly be had every once in a while, but to talk about serious topics and have "faggot" in the thread a thousand times over is simply unbecoming at best. I am one to believe that we deserve better; whether this is the way to achieve those ends or not matters little.

Ah! A test of mettle and honor is quite different. The ideas aren't at stake it's the core personality and ego that is to be determined the trust worthiness.

So for the traditional games is Chess, Go, or other board games. Or even checkers. Letters passing back and forth the decisions. But the personality and honour may or may not be tested.
In extreme danger work, absolutely brutal ribbing.
Hmmmm.

Going to be don't sweat it. Single player games, or reasonable challenges will work too, because the point isn't only to win. It's to form a more cohesive community, and bonds of mutual respect.
But that's not a satisfying answer, me saying it'll happen as it happens, how about a meme sling off?
Three pics or videos or audio then a poner that pulls those three things together. For each person.
Then what'll happen using 5 upload files when those two meet.

Also raising the stakes could discourage that type of behavior, ie if the community would be so willing, enforcing a ban of some sort. This is the type of thing that really only works if a lot of people are on board with it, and people are willing to exhibit a sense of shame.

Quick update, as some might've been able to guess, a VM is not going to work, there's just no comparison for something that would require any reaction times at all even playing a simple flash game, and as of right now a KVM is off the table. So, I'll check back in soon as I have a fresh Linux install working on bare metal. Then, all that would need to happen is I figure out how to host on joshwhotv with any and all necessary security measures in place, and then decide on a game that could be played 1v1 for a friendly test run or two. Right now I'm thinking the simpler the better, but we could get something more interesting going later on.

OP does seem like a faggot. It's accepting the physical risk of real physical injury, pain, even death for the sake of your beliefs that make accepting the challenge of a duel into an act of manliness. Anyone can lose some tic-tac-toe game and then suffer some arbitrary punishment when the stakes are low but in politics the stakes are life and death. This isn't a WWE esports board where "loser gets banned for a week" is used to spice up a match like old wrestling "loser leaves town" matches. The turth isn't up to interpretation and the outcome of NBA 2k69 online matches won't affect it. Maybe this would be a fun way to resolve unimportant and childish personal disputes on gaming sites, but to suggest settling meaningful mature arguments with a game of fucking Yugioh is asinine. If the leftists take over countries they kill people. If the leftists take over discussion boards they turn them into conquered territory where discussions are controlled and leftism is mandatory. If the leftists convince normies they are the majority, normies will go along with the falsehood in the name of conformity. I love the 4chan cup as much as the next real man but do you think if our team fought some commie imageboard's team and won they'd actually honour any agreement they made?

>internet disagreements aren't serious at all
You might be right there, but I'd like to make a distinction between a disagreement and something that just devolves into petty namecalling, which at this point I must regret to say has sapped a lot of strength not to engage in myself. If you'll look at the timestamps of this thread I left not only this thread but the website as a whole for about a month on my own due to not wanting to be around a certain someone. I, for one, would consider that serious business, as I can be a pretty active user; and the way I see it, if an internet fight isn't taken seriously at all in the first place, neither should be a ban. Perhaps if you want to look at it this way, the predetermined punishment as outlined in the agreed-upon terms would only be as serious as the offense someone took. Tit for tat.

>>148151
I was starting to think along the same lines, though that's something that I think should be left up to the challengers, and after the fight, someone could choose either not to enforce it, or do so less than the agreed upon terms if they wanted as a show of mercy. Much like firing into the air in the South of the 19th century.

>>148152
>It wouldn't be hard to just pretend to leave, and continue to post anonymously.
This is true, and something I alluded to in >>148074 when I mentioned:
>This is the type of thing that really only works if a lot of people are on board with it, and people are willing to exhibit a sense of shame.
For example, if someone loses a duel and comes back before their time is up, that would be a dishonorable thing to do, as in someone that shows a bit of shame wouldn't do such a thing, and if they were found out, a technique to try could be that the user is called out and banned for a longer time. One might be surprised at how hard it is to keep the "facts" straight, should they begin to lie under questioning.
Of course, it wouldn't hurt at least by ceremony, should the esteemed moderators think it a decent idea and strike an IP on the banlist.
The world's really our oyster here, folks. The way I see it, we can do this, or not, any way the community likes.

Meanwhile I've installed another OS on my computer, and the next step is going to be to do a bit of groundwork when it comes to security settings, and then all that would have to happen is I find a game to play. But I'm beat for now so I'm going to have to do that another time.

And if anyone doesn't think this kind of thing could be a big deal, may I invite you to look at how much money and ceremony has gone into boxing matches over the past century, and in this one how video games are picking up steam in esports leagues. When there's competition and consequences involved, things can start to become a big deal pretty quick. Can I at least say it's worth a shot, if I'm the one that lays all the groundwork for it?

Look mate, no offense but I feel like I've already said my piece on these questions here, and honestly we're all in the process of figuring this out in case I haven't. In case honor is not something that's easily understood here, I'd compare it to the theory of General Relativity, which is said to be hard to understand for those that don't know, and hard to explain for those that do. Read up on Robert E. Lee if you would, or perhaps Admiral Horatio Nelson would be a bit closer to home for you, whom on a cursory glance had a reputation for valor and duty, those two concepts being close in connection to it.

When you say 'honor', are you referring to when you started accusing me of your paranoid delusions because I trashed your idea?
Look, if you wanna make some sort of /mlpol/ fighting/gaming league, knock yourself out. Then, if you want to challenge assholes to a match, have at it. But dont expect whatever you do to have any legitimacy outside of any personally and individually agreed (read: a gentleman's contract) scope or contest. Competition is fine, and I admit such a situation could help individuals to settle their differences, but that is not something that should have any weight in an argument, and the idea that it 'should' ought to raise alarm bells.

Yeah that's a fair assessment to espouse. Just don't tell me to get fucked or generally act disrespectful towards me or we're going to have a problem. Everyone's got a line pal, and I've been gracious enough thus far to look past both the times you've crossed mine.

Fucking hell. There was a time when the cesspool site cough 4cuck cough was considered a hurtbox. Usually shanked with truth, and at times empty words.
I mean way wayyyy more brutal. Just ripping people to shreds and the only thing keeping it from going overboard was anonymity and the quantity of posts speeding by.
So to be frank that's not going to work here. Even if there was a bloodbath thread/board jimmies are going to be rustled. This doesn't give something that bonds people together with, heck the only thing that the hurtbox gave to bond over with was painful truth.
That's why blood feuds were a thing as people kept going back and forth getting revenge for sullying the family honor.
Destroying good people and their lineage.

Okay, but the inverse is also true. Not going into full retaliation to the strike is where we are at now. As in many traditions and people have been chipped away and washed out by fuckers. It brings about the snobbery and backstabbing.

So fine the two far ends have their problems, but surely something can be done about people calling each other faggots or fuckwads right?
Well technically yes, use more creative insults. But to be fair the real issue is that spillover into other threads is the issue along with it being seemingly unending.
The solution is just as simple rule 1 rule 2 thread. You have shit to unload do it there. What happens in rule 1 rule 2 threads says in rule 1 rule 2 thread.

Okay, but some threads have a... visitor of the monetary sort with an agenda, or someone from a hugbox who stumbled here as stated hoers pussy and truth works together 99.99% of the time.
Okay but that didn't really solve the issue because it's about ego and the feelings. On the other hand seeing the same dude say the same things can be aggrovating.
But honestly being able to say fuck off to what is essentially psychological w... fisty cuffs of big scale is a handy skill to refine, and then turn that barb around.

Okay so that's part A the /pol/
>>148173
This is now part B the /mlp/
The friendship part
>>147208
>>148038
So hear me out, cooperative games/activities.
Instead of shank of truth where is smarts quite a bit, it's the velvety glove of truth to softly strangle the best a person can be by their own will. Basically advanced trickery, but everyone is having a great time aka leadership and follower dynamics (they alternate an dhappen at the same time to lead both parties to better places).
There are six principles that govern it and I'll just reiterate them.
Laughter
Kindness
Generosity
Honesty
Loyalty
Friendship (magic which in part also means actively pursuing friendship)

So the reasoning stands that a spectator game (or one with even more players) could work to enhance bonds and sooth ego (usually by way of working well as a team does accomplish more, even if in different ways).
This six part system is also a quantifiable metric (to an extent).
With that said instead of a means to ridicule and demean, it ought to be used to build up and improve while also providing good sunshine examples.
All of the above have to be done in good faith, even if it's grumbling good faith. That means if someone gets suckered punched it's going to hurt more, and that's counterproductive.
A common goal that is to be entertaining, completing the objective, and strengthening friendship.

Okay so both parts are not actually mutually exclusive. They work extremely well together. In every aspect.
So what just keep blasting each other with truth designed to maximize harm and somehow friendship? Well.. I mean... it could work...
Nah, tactics, efficiency, effectiveness, and redundancy points that bring stuck in a corner with someone is a pretty neat place to find friends. Even by happenstance.
So the Friendship part has to be taken into account for all matters.
Even in truth speedy poking matches with gibblets spewing everywhere.

So why bring this up?
Common goals. Commies tend to put their asinine whatever crap as their one and onky thing they offer. They don't really have true true friends. They themselves don't exhibit friendship.
So we're not Globalist (((fuckwads))) yay us.
We're also quite different at times as well with disagreements and such.
Sometimes amazing things can only happen when certain people come into contact through different times and circumstances to have be done.
Being in a shitstorm flinging match and mutual jokes is a good time. So is watching people do something amazing!
Even when the activity is seemingly meaningless on the grand scale small acts bring us all closer to friendship and truth.
Because those small acts are what actually destroy evil from creeping in, and brings about good into the world and ourselves.
While learning /mlpol/ lessons along the way.
<The fuck are you saying zigger.
Punch people with friendship in heart and in hand only playing by truth, while also getting punched by friendship.

More exactly 1v1 and multiple people are both valid, just gotta be painfully true at all times with friendship.

Regarding the Formal Challenge of a Duel

From the get-go I've known you as an insufferable piece of shit with a projected and well-earned inferiority complex befitting only a transsexual or a communist. You have no honor, and I can count on you only to take the lowest and most cowardly route possible in any discussion that has the displeasure of accommodating your conniving and spiteful presence, as you obviously have no nuts and all you can do is bark without bite, wastrel cur that you are.
You also can't help but take your anger at being rightfully kicked off of the moderation team out on unsuspecting anons and disturbing the peace, without putting forth any helpful arguments of your own, and expressly trying to drag everyone else with your shitty attitude; I encourage all anons to see >>>/qa/5921 → in case they want to have a laugh at this very anon bitching and moaning, and as I quote, getting "bitch slapped" by the moderation staff over the ban regarding his infantile behavior in this very thread, and has been given every chance up until this point to take it back, far more many times than the likes of him deserve.
Thus, I hereby formally challenge you to pull the rainbowed dildo out of your otherwise gaping asshole and to an internet duel, date and game to be determined. At this point I think three months without your presence on this website would be bliss, and since fair's fair and I consider myself a generous man, should I lose I won't count the time I've already spent off in self-imposed exile.

So what will it be? Will you stand and fight like a man, or shall you cower like a dog?

Now who's derailing?
The issue attempted to be addressed in that thread was that moderation has abandoned the rules (until the recent amendment, which is its self a blanket pass to violate the rules, but at least its there) and was making shit up. That's been resolved, ish.
To your other point, let's be clear. I am not a nice person. If you want nice, why are you on the internet? My candor rustles your jimmies? You think I'm insufferable? Great. So do the mods btw, which in spite of their posturing, I was the black sheep because I told people to get off their ass and amend the policy page (not exclusively, theres other shit that they are wilfully derelict at, but my main gripe is resolved so we'll leave those). Your welcome, it only took a year and some of the most extreme badgering I've ever engaged in. And notice how readily it was amended even in spite of assurances that 'its hard' and 'getting people to agree' and whatever other excuses I've forgotten. Horseshit.
But I digress.
Are you really so thin skinned that you get triggered when someone tells you to get fucked? Are you expecting accommodation from some guy on the internet?
Let's check the record. You accused me of doxing, derailing, et al because I was mean in my refutation of your premise.
Oh,but I'm the one with no honor. Pull the other one.
Well let me address your challenge.
Get fucked
>will you stand and fight or will you cower like a dog

If he backed down, apologized tearfully, and took back every complaint he ever had about the inconsistent application of staff policies just because you called him a faggot for not loving your internet duels idea, how would that make him more masculine? If he was temp banned or permabanned, that wouldn't make his complaints about policy illegitimate. Only marxists think the use of unaccountable force makes you "right". Internet duels are a worthless idea as most adults have more to do than practice one game for hours every day. But if staff policies are improved, everyone wins.

The discussion was had, and the reasons pointed out. For and against and what honor or 'honor' is. At the core the difference is the freedom of speech vs honor/feelings. As was discussed only fellow poners who have a modicum of mutual respect would fully engage. Since there would be mutual respect for this to happen the duel is largely for show and entertainment.
<issue a challenge to give way to the feelings, and then also pull up past history irrelevant to the current challenge as bait
<nah here's what I did get thicker skin fuck off
Now I could needle people on finer details. So I'm not.

In any case a prime example on how the fuck not to issue an internet challenge.

Why would this place spontaneously become a ghost town just because the duel idea is more retarded than anything anyone else has ever said on this site? Yes, users here have a habit of jumping down the throat of anyone who makes a thread they don't like. But this thread is silly.
Being a man doesn't mean leaping with fists raised every time someone tells you to jump. It's about fighting to protect what you believe in, not getting baited into distractions for the sake of ego. Maybe if this was one forum focused on one game it would make sense to resolve personal disputes through that gaming medium everyone present cares about. But this isn't supposed to be a site for petty personal disputes, this is a site for serious political discussion except fun is allowed. Then again gaming is kind of degenerate. Do you really improve skills when you game or just grind away for hours hoping for dopamine and "prestige"?

Yes. If you play in degenerate ways you get degenerate prizes.
What you put in and what the creator(s) puts in plus what you try to bring out is what you get. It's like anything.
If you want something wholesome you gotta extract it. It's where agency and applied skill works in a relatively short time span to see your fruits in motion.

Yeah that makes sense. Why a Fighting Game that rewards skillful use of unique tools, spacing, quick thinking, and matchup knowledge when you could instead choose a COD clone any dorito dust-snorting faggot can play and win?

You know what? I'm tired of this.

There are no valid arguments for pretending the outcome of a political debate can be settled by who is better at Chess. Or Team Fortress 2. Or Pokemon. Or Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. Only a pseudointellectual subhuman would even suggest this. It does not matter what game is suggested unless that game provides an opportunity for the big strong right-winger to beat an effeminate leftist to death. Shockingly, competitive Halo does not provide this, so it is worthless in settling our differences.

I legitimately do not respect you or anyone else who would pretend it's on me to disprove something to your standard when it is factually and logically false. Spend more than a second questioning the premise of this thread instead of hurling childish insults around, your behaviour demeans us both.

Duelling is only worth something when there is a risk of physical injury or death, because this is earned by lying and insulting a good man's honour. Libtards deserve worse than what any good man could ever do to them in a duel. They certainly deserve worse than being beaten in a vidyagaem. Beating them in Poker will not hurt their feelings or slow down their creeping dominance of the world. None of our enemies would ever honour any wagers. Beating one Muslim in Yugioh won't convince them all to fuck off back to the Nigger East even if we promised we would all move to Venezuela if we lost. You would know this by now if you could. If you could understand why I am right you would have figured this out for yourself. The argument is self-defeating. An "internet duel" serves no useful purpose. I don't know why anyone would blindfold themselves and repeatedly insist "duelling good, only cowardly faggots disagree, hurr durr I don't hear any arguments against this" and expect a 5k word argument against it. Does the clown responsible for this thread hope to bait people into getting mad over the behaviour displayed by faggots who don't understand the truth? Is that the true purpose of this thread: Seeing who can remain calm in the face of blatant bad-faith trolling?

Our enemies rape children for fuck's sake.

Our enemies rape children and kill children and mutilate the genitals of children. Our enemies are pure evil and anyone with the capacity to understand what's right and what'd wrong knows this. Peace means accepting white genocide and it's only "accelerationism" if we resist. Do you really think getting an opportunity to call our enemies "cowards afraid of duelling in yugioh" or "liars who won't honour wagers over COD" is worth the risk that someone representing us and our ideals might lose? Think, nigger, think.

People out there practice vidyagames competively for hours every day. They take the game more seriously than life itself. For people like me with an actual life and healthy hobbies, that's not an option. For people with a real job, that's certainly not an option. Our enemies have funding. Our enemies are organized. Our enemies could pay any professional gamer without shame to represent them. How many streamers would jump at the chance to "punch a nazi in minecraft" only actually in Minecraft this time, and have their cock sucked by news sites for it?

Man is man. Woman is woman. If some tranny crushed you in Team Fortress 2 would that suddenly make trannies valid? Of course it fucking wouldn't, fuck anyone who would try even suggesting such a thing.

You're free to embarass yourself getting your shit stomped in Street Fighter by Daigo Umehara as he drags his sweaty Shoto balls across your face if you so please, but don't pretend even for a second that this will settle any argument other than "Who is the better Street Fighter player".

If you're going to say "You haven't made an argument", don't embarass yourself. If you're going to say "You are afraid of duelling me over the validity of duelling", don't. If your reply contains "You're just a", shush. No deflection, no dismissal, no smug desperate copium-huffing, no disgracing yourself with further insults against logic. Your bait is weak. The very premise of this thread is homosexual. My argument is obvious: We have nothing to gain from pretending even for a second that the outcome of a football match will decide what race deserves to be genocided and what race doesn't. Physically punishing leftists for assaulting our peaceful protests puts the fear of God into them, especially if the police cannot make an example of those responsible. But "pwning some n00bs in COD" will never show them the error of their ways. Vidyagame duelling is a bad idea. Think, faggot. Think.

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to bump this thread...

Are you the same retard who blows a gasket whenever people ask for a source to back up your claims?

the "1V1" or one versus one has been a staple of fps games for decades, it is essentially a test of skill to see who is better. IE a Duel.
