Duel arena

The world isn't fair. Terrible things happen every day and sometimes there is just no way to get justice served without taking things into your own hands. The most fair and just way of setting things straight and restoring your lost honor is obviously a duel. And to ensure that a duel follows rules and involves no foul play, you need to have seconds and witnesses. And even then, the righteous party does not always stay victorious. Oh well. Anyways, this page will recount some of the fateful duels that transpired on the server along with the results of these clashes.

## The Fateful duel in Cockroach poker

### The conflict

Yesterday, we were witnesses to a fateful duel which led to the demise of the virtuous Akhara. As her second, it pains me so to write down these words, alas, it must be done, for all to remember. Therefore I, Adsa, will now faithfully retell the events of what had transpired.

In her usual fashion, Akhara was declaring unquestionable truths about the deliciousness of cheese when suddenly, the vile ABC decided to take offense. Since he felt that his honor as an unjustified cheese hater had been tarnished, he suggested murdering Akhara by tossing her off a cliff.

### The challenge

Thankfully, his associate, Kcat, refused to aid the cause which gave the wise and honorable Akhara the opportunity to suggest a more civilized way of sorting out their differences - a traditional duel to the death.

ABC agreed to this challenge and even suggested a handicap for himself in the form of choosing Pablo as his second. Akhara, of course, chose me, her most dependable friend, to stand as second for her.

The conditions of the duel were agreed upon with Kcat mediating the negotiations and suggesting the very fair and honorable method of cockroach poker. ABC's cause was once more proven as unjust when his chosen second, Pablo, refused to participate, forcing ABC to address the only other person at hand, Kcat.

### The face-off

With the time and place arranged, the duelists began to prepare for their face-off. On the day of August 24th 2022 at 20:50 CET exactly, both duelists arrived to the battleground accompanied by their loyal or somewhat less loyal seconds.

They took position, with ABC and his second, Kcat, assuming one half of the field. And Akhara backed by yours truly being forced to make do with the other half. The tensions were high as the cards got handed out.

Finally, the first shot was fired, with ABC starting, as he considered himself to be the offended party. It was a breathtaking duel of hits and misses, but mostly misses, which was so even, that the tides could easily turn at any moment.

As seconds, Kcat and I did our best to support our champions. I wrote inspiring messages on Akhara's side of the field and demotivating messages on ABC's side. And Kcat wrote inspiring messages on Akhara's side of the field and demotivating messages on ABC's side. We cheered her on at every success on her part and urged her to stay strong at every set back.

### The result

Alas, it was not enough, and justice does not always prevail. The battle had been going on for many days and nights, both participants on the verge of exhaustion, their abilities too even... when eventually ABC got in a lucky shot which Akhara failed to counter and she dropped dead to the floor.

The fiend celebrated his victory. And as seconds and witnesses, Kcat and I had no choice but to acknowledge the results of the duel and the fact that ABC is willing to go very far to defend his hatred of cheese.

Let these lines be a testimony to the extent of human foolishness and may Akhara's sacrifice be forever remembered.
