The Pirate Accords of 1217

For the love of Valos stop wasting your time. It's clear Cade is not using the term Pirate correctly. He thinks it means free company of sailors, when the legal definition means Nautical Bandit. Everyone in town has shown up to give their opinion on this, and for what? Quibbling over semantics Cade clearly is ignorant of?

Cade, you mean Buccaneer. Stop calling yourself Pirate.

Oh, and Cade.. I second Edwin, don't duel Atrus to the death, no matter how many sign on to your crew.

To [strike]the Challenged Cade Tanwyn and the Challenger Fortune Demeanor,[/strike] all [strike]five hundred of you idiots[/strike] fighting over the same contest of honor

[strike]I just happened to have this on hand for reasons, expecting something like this to occur, so I'll post it here and let you sort it.

These rules were brought by former Squire Sorel Argentblade on behalf of His Grace, Sebastian Everest, Count Winterdark, to a historic challenge against Sir Malcolm Luther Germaine by Tobar Moroz Rasia... if anyone cared to hear the story. I've been researching it in my pursuit of the histories of my Land. I do not know if they are current, but they should help settle the matter at least.[/strike]

Go find nobles to support your [strike]petty[/strike] arguments. Name seconds. Name a neutral party to run negotiations. Read the [strike]damned[/strike] laws. [strike]And get it over with[/strike].

Rules of Honor Combat
Challenge

In order to initiate the honor combat, the Challenger must provide what he feels the Challenged has done to besmirch his honor, or the honor of whomever is being defended. The Challenged has the option to turn down the honor combat, but then must publicly admit that what he has done was wrong and dishonorable. If the Challenged accepts the honor combat, he does not have to admit to anything whether he wins or loses. Both the Challenged and the Challenger then meet on neutral ground in order to discuss the terms.

Terms

Both the Challenger and the Challenged meet to discuss the terms of the combat. Both the Challenged and the Challenger choose Seconds in the discussion of these terms. A fifth person who is of a neutral party is called in as well for this discussion. The Challenged sets the first term, which both parties must agree on. The Challenger then decides the second term, which both parties must agree on. The Challenged then decides the third and final term, which both parties must agree on. If both parties cannot agree on a term, it is the responsibility of the neutral party to decide if the term is fair or unfair. If the term is decided to be unfair then another term must be decided upon. Once all terms are agreed upon both parties must decide on where and when the Honor Combat is to occur, and will then meet at the appointed time and place.

Combat

A noble of the land wherein the duel is occurring must be present to oversee the fight. No outside help may be given to either party for the duration of the combat. Observers must remain silent during the fight. Failure to observe these rules will result in the person violating them being removed from the area and charged as if they have interfered with the conduct of a noble. Once the fight has ended, the victor is announced and the matter is settled.


An honor combat must be condoned by the highest noble of the land wherein the combat is to occur.
Fleeing from combat or breaking any of the agreed upon terms will result in disqualification of the offending party, who will be named the loser by the overseeing noble.
If one of the parties breaks the laws of the land they are disqualified and to be charged for their crimes in the highest of punishments.
If the combat is interrupted, both parties will agree upon a time to reconvene and continue the combat.

Mantel,

D'ye think besmichin' a noble publicly be a petty argument or cause fer honor combat? Good thing I nay care what ye think. Are ye nay capable of readin' the laws ye be tackin' on t'yer postings?

1 - Issue challenge and give reason why & what t'offense be. - D has done this - Only when this step be complete and a response be given by the challenged do ye move on to step 2. - Cade has not yet responded.

2 - Meet and have a neutral party present, discuss terms, name seconds and a location. Only when this step be completed d'we be movin' on t'the last step.

3 - We be goin' t'agreed location and fight if t'highest noble of the land of t'location condones it and is present.

As ye can see, I nay be needin' t'do anything at this point but wait until Cade finds his balls if he be havin' any to respond to me challenge.

Misdemeanor, can you provide a location where i besmirched Lord Admiral Aleister? I was unaware I had done so. Also if I had, I would encourage him to respond to any of the letters I had sent him and we could discuss it.

As far as Atrus is concerned he and I are speaking privately and I expect with the coming forward of multiple witnesses corroborating my story that the matter will be settled without incident.

Cade,

Ye wrote: "Also Aleister, I recall you telling me you'd go to the very gates of hell for your vassals. I guess that was a load of horse shit. Seeing as how you knew I was a pirate when you hired me as commodore. Now that I try to organize a disenfranchised group of people in Travance and point them toward a more unified goal you abandon me? I thought you said you'd stand with me?"

First, me Lord ye shall address as LORD TARTAROS. He nay yer equal. Second, ye be sayin' his word be a load of horse shit, be callin' him a liar. That be besmirchment. I won't even go into how ye mentioned me land taking a collective shite on ye. Yer one offense on me Lord is plenty.

Yer welcome fer the education.

I have no idea what you're saying. But since you did manage to write my own words down I got that bit at least. If Lord Aleister would like to challenge me I would accept. I feel like you are challenging me on dishonest terms though. It is my opinion you are mad over the fact that I have cleverly pointed out that your name is synonymous with petty crime.You are merely taking advantage of Dregamire's muddlsinging at me and jumping on the chance to find more socially acceptable grounds to fight me openly. If Alesiter wants to talk I will gladly talk to him. If Aleister feels his honor has been irrevocably damaged and wants to challenge me? Well, I'd lose the fight but I would answer it. But from you? Over this? No. Give me your real challenge misdemeanor or leave me alone. Do not use this charade to offer your challenge. Challenge me honestly or not at all.Or have Aleister challenge me.
