Not to mention the other factors. How do you verify that both adults were of legal age and legally capable of consent? How do you ensure that these duels do not cause harm to persons or property other than those involved? I’m not all out saying it’s a no for me- but to be a “yes” I would need many specific questions answered about rules of duels, ID verification, how to insure duels don’t involve coercion, where can duel challenges be made and under what circumstances? Where can duels be held? Is betting allowed? Duels for profit? How does one protect the desperate from exploitation? What about emancipated minors?

How were they handled in the old days? Building off of that could be a start.

@guest_ Easy. Thunderdome.

Lol. @scatmandigno- Tina Turner might approve of the solution- but Thunderdome creates a world where “might makes right,” not a world where the best ideas and ways are worked out but where those with the strength to impose their will control all. Also- in the titular movie the thunderdome was a puppet show. The real power and control was still out of the hands of the people, and the “duel” system served those in power and was abused as a tool of control. @famousone- it didn’t really work on the old days. That’s a big part of why it was eliminated. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/duel-104161025/

People will consent to the duel as long as they're winning.

Does that mean there can be a duel rape?
