Alright escapist heres my idea and really its justs something silly I thought up so don't take this as a serious topic.
I was reading up on Andrew Jackson and heard the man was and I quote "a dueling ************". I was thinking to myself "how many duels has Obama won? Zero!" then I realized I would be to much a pansy myself to accept a duel. However I would love to watch dueling on T.V! Pistols at dawn, swords or what have you to the death duels is something as a society I feel we really dropped the ball on.
So I want to ask you dear escapist, would you watch dueling on t.v? And I mean to the death dueling, obviously its going to be pay-preview. A spectator sport, with a arena. You can choose to settle your differences to a duel to the death of your choice.
For those interested in the rules heres who it would go down.
1. You challenge your opponent(or rival) to a duel, if they decline thats the end of it.
2. If they accept the challenge you both must register, sign a wavier and await your spot on dueling day, you can back out if you both agree, before the day of the duel.
3. The day has come and you both enter the stadium, the announcer tells the crowd of specters the grievance and cause of the duel. You're both issued a .45 caliber pistol loaded and checked by the ref with one bullet. the weapons are well maintained to insure maximum quality.
4. Stand back to back and walk ten paces and shoot.
5. If you cheat the ref shoots you dead, I.E turn around before ten paces. In the unlikely event that your weapon malfunctions, said party is given a settlement, however a lawsuit will not be pursed due to the waiver. If you miss/injure each other instead of kill then if both parties agree you can sign up again to duel.
You may not badger a person into a duel, and or lampoon them if they decline. If they decline that is the end of it. If both parties accept they must also both agree to the type of duel they wish to participate in.
