[SWd20]Off on the Rim OOC(Full)

[Brother Shatterstone]

Anybody have any other things that I missed that I should happily fill in?

Well now that you mention it, you’re the only one that didn't include their character weight.

One doesn't ask such things of a lady, you insufferable cad! Show some respect to Her Highness!

I could have used "potpourri".

Should such a vile slander be levelled against me, I should be forced to challenge the offender to a duel; I would, of course, have to accept your choice of champion, but seeing as you'd only have crew to draw on, I have little fear.

As long as I get to choose the weapons, I'm game.

Sheesh! That ranks up there with asking a woman her age! For shame!

Oh yeah... I forgot that one, what's her age?

Though I can't blame you for not including it as only one of us mentioned the age of their character.

I figure I'm somewhere between, Luke's, Wedge's and Biggs' age. Basically in my early to mid 20's. Call it 24.

It would be entirely ungentlemanly of me to gun you down, and equally unladlylike for you to be shot to death.

Now that I have a reference frame, I have to decide whether I should be calling you an old fart or a young whippersnapper. Decisions, decisions.

Rather presumptuous and erroneous of you to believe that duels only involve blasters.

You'd be even worse off with melee weapons, and no better off with any other projectile weapon. Likewise, while you might be a slightly better pilot than me, I'm a better gunner, and that's what really counts when it comes down to it. Anything that one person can use to physically injure another person, I'm better at than you, and if it's not a physical injury, it's not a duel.

Alright woman and boys, take your banter to the IC thread. Time for some fun.

Duel (def):
1. a prearranged fight with deadly weapons by two people (accompanied by seconds) in order to settle a quarrel over a point of honor
2. any struggle between two skillful opponents (individuals or groups)

Alright - now why is it people think that duels only involve physical battles? Quite erroneous indeed. Probably because of the first definition, but the second definition is quite valid and certainly more current. It is also more of the one I suscribe to in this day and age as it is less 'CroMagon Man".
