You can now challenge someone to a duel to the death. You will be automatically shooting at each other in ten second intervals until someone is dead.

The issuer picks between the following options:

1) Let a coin flip decide. (It randomly picks who gets the first shot)
2) I want to shoot first.
3) Let them shoot first.
4) We both shoot at the same time.

You do not need open timers to issue or an accept a duel. After the duel is over, your previous timers are restored.

You must be in the same city and have a gun to issue a challenge.

Once the duel is issued, all stats are recorded. It uses these stats, so anything you do after that point will not change the math. Buying 89013 bodyguards mid duel will not do anything. Having people shoot your opponents bodyguards mid duel will not do anything.

Since you are facing each other in the middle of the street, both knowing what is going to happen - there is no city bonuses or fort bonuses.

With the 4 different starting styles, 1 person will always die. If you choose to shoot at the same time, there is a chance that both of you are successful, and you will both die.

The challenge invitation will last 5 minutes, then time out. If it is not accepted in 5 minutes it will be automatically deleted. You do not need to respond to the invitation. When you accept the invitation, the duel will start within the next minute, shooting back and forth at ten second intervals until someone is dead.

In the event that both people have a 1% or less chance of hitting the other, that 1% will slowly increase on a per round basis to avoid excessive yawns.

If you wackback while dueling, it will just show as a fail with no other consequences.


ETHICS:

This is a feature for gentlemen of honor. If you issue a challenge, issue it under fair terms that are favorable to both parties. Generally, the "ethical" thing is to let the underdog shoot first.

If someone does not accept your invitation, use more favorable terms on your next invitation. If they do not accept it then, further invitations would become annoying.

I view this as a fair way for two people to settle their differences without others getting involved. If both people agree to the duel, then this feature has no consequences for anyone outside of the duel. If this feature becomes restricted from being used between consenting people, then the feature will be modified so it is all done anonymously and hidden.

"Just for curiosity's sake, what would happen if during the duel an outside person takes a shot at one of the involved players? Is someone stuck infinitely missing shots every 10 seconds?"

During the duel, both players have pro given by the dueling, which is then restored to their previous pro timer after the duel is done. Soooo once it starts, you as an outsider can not shoot at those currently dueling.

"I assume there will not be a WB gun while dueling?"

If the dice say you lose your gun, it does nothing and just writes it as a fail for that particular shot. You do not actually lose your gun.
