LoS BB

today I was fighting Ghandi in the arena (to see how rusty I am) and effectively I am

we were standing facing each other and waiting for some developpement.. and we know the first to start the fight is probably the winner... because between me and Ghandi 1 sec could decide of the winner.

so my idea was: why not adding a tourney referee which could be use as a countdown.. like: Kampfer says: "mark ghandi 20"... so the referee will countdown from 20 to 0.. why put the name in the command is to block this person to attack you (and the same me vs him) before the countdown is finish.

like we see in the westerns.. duel.. stressing.. the finger on the trigger.. sweating til the arena became a lake... a real duel between two titan!

so true.

but if you fight a mage for example. if you may start and confuse a mage, you'll win. if you fight a barb and you start with a bind... you win.
I see your point, allthough i don't agree on your solution. If you want a real duel between a pally/dk, the do best of 3, where the *flip* command decides who will start the 1ste battle.

Yes, we see it in the westerns: finger on the trigger.....
What we don't see is two cowboys shooting madly at a forcefield which disappears at a given signal, which, let's face it, is what duelling players would be effectively doing: spamming the keyboard like mad until the timer allows them to actually attack.

Using "flip" is one solution, attacking on sight is another, especially for enemies where a fair and friendly duel would not be the most believable scenario.
