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!

This being mlpol.net, it would only make sense to have the game be Them's Fightin' Herds, come to think of it. Too bad I suck at fighting games, maybe this could be my shot at getting better.

Think about it, if some faggot is still hiding behind their keyboard after getting called out all you really have to say is "Tits or GTFO." Entertainment for everyone, gallantry of anons' honor on full display, what's not to like.

En garde!

It's not the same as a duel, tbh.
In the era if dueling, every ban was expected to have some degree of martial prowness, or at least be able to fire a gun; the ones who weren't seldom got into duels.
With video games, experience can play a big factor, and the playing field is hardly ever even unless both players are familiar with the game. There's little honor in defeating someone at a game they've never played.

Asinine. Be careful with your words, unless you're willing to duke it out in vidya? That a game should have more merit than the presented ideas? That detractors who are immune to horsepussy can otherwise be goaded into a 'duel' to 'fix' something (profit?)? Get fucked

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.

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.

As I recall, I didn't ask the mods to do jack, and that criticism of my person is null, along with all the other times I have been called a faggot by you. 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.

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.

Fair enough, although I think that's something that could be left to the challengers in question; regardless the way I see it is that it's not something we need to decide in the here and now.

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?

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.

There is no objective legitimacy in internet arguments. Just assholes who don't know when to shut up.

>Insulting my honour
It's an internet argument. Your honor is going to be insulted either way.

>When you say 'honor', are you referring to when you started accusing me of your paranoid delusions because I trashed your idea?
Hell no, I'm referring to when you barged into the thread to say against my character among other things, and I quote, "get fucked."

>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.

Do you think this will go in circles forever?
>"come on guys, playing chess with commies will totally prove we're smarter than them and if we beat them they'll totally honour any agreements they made! if they don't we can laugh at them for being dishonourable- what do you mean we already knew this?"

You, get fucked 2x. What are we, guidance counselors worrying about offending sensibilities? We gotta worry about feelings and impressions and shit? Jesus christ, anon used to have some balls. I'm not besmirching frenship, but some frens use tough love; it's a thing, quit being a faggot.

It's not about offending sensibilities. You just suck at arguing if you think telling people to get fucked will somehow convince them.
So, without further ado, get fucked.

Gladly, though you'll pardon any seeming indecisiveness as I work the details out. In the meantime, you've yet admit address my salient point. Unless you wanna internet duel, that's where your attention should be focused.

Ngl, this is spot on. If a dude cant take a good ribbing, then hes not worth shit. But if he can, I might toast him.

OP could learn a thing about it.
