    Also why not allow any two parties to duel?

      Dueling is barbaric and can often start blood feuds: a cycle of violence. It’s also a bad way to settle a dispute. The person best at shooting others has no correlation to how well their position was or whether the fault or insult should stand. Also killing for an insult is juvenile. There’s lots of other real reasons history outlawed it, as well.

        Sure, but I bet it’d make the system more entertaining.

            We already have the Jackass movies and show, so I’m afraid we’re already deeper into idiocracy than you realize.

        By the end of dueling, people weren’t even shooting at each other. It’s braver to be shot at and the point of dueling is to appear brave. They would fire into the air as if they were saying “I’m so brave I’m not going to shoot at you”. It was dumb, so we stopped the charade.

          No one seems to be doing that anymore…

          The duelers get to pick their weapons. Nothing in the rules says you can’t fight to the death with dildos.
