SENATE BILL: Atlasian Duels Act (law'd)

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Law school is beginning to affect my critical reading in the senate....

You'll drop out anyway in order to keep posting

There are priorities, you know...

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Aye!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Something will have to give, Kal!

Aye for the amendment, although I don't play any of those games but Starcraft II.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Aye

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I do have a question though. Who would consent to a duel like this knowing if they lose, they'll be banished from the game for a year? Someone who loves pain? Or just wants to leave the game?

[Napoleon]

Aye

What kind of duel doesn't have any consequences?!

[bgwah]

With 6 ayes, the amendment has passed. Debate resumes.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

I offer the following amendment:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

[bgwah]

What fun is that?! You wouldn't even miss an election! A duel must have consequences.

I might be willing to accept a four month "death," since that would be one full election cycle.

Though I suppose even a week-long "death" would at least remove someone from office, if they were an office-holder that is...

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Indeed, and it would encourage citizens to have more duels for our amusements. 

[Bacon King]

A week is much more appropriate, I think. Maaaybe a month, maximum. If the stakes are too high nobody will duel unless they're just pulling an Atlas-suicide anyway.

Also, more games should be included!

I was going to recommend some console based games, but I don't know if anyone would duel on them.      Most people here are PC people.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I haven't played Xbox in forever. The only computer game I play is Starcraft 2 and that's only when I have time. I used to play Halo in my younger years, but I assume the time has passed when it comes to its popularity.

Do you have Halo Reach?

[Fuzzybigfoot]

I'll take that as a no. 

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Yes, I do! I played the campaign when it came out and haven't played since. But I do have all the Halo's!

Nice, I would support an amendment to add those if you like. 

[Bacon King]

No luv for Blacks Ops?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

We have to set a limit at some point unless we just want to add all the games. I know Call of Duty games are popular, and Halo is a dead series now. I'll support whatever amendments are offered and decide if I am challenged which to accept.

Why not just say, "a single match of any online game agreed upon by the participants, so long as the game can be fully recorded for independent verification"?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

That would work. Can console games be recording? We're going into a whole new area that I am unfamiliar with, mind you.

[bgwah]

Perhaps we can also have regional wars.

That would be awesome!

I know Black Ops automatically records every match you play. I'm pretty sure you can record matches in the newer Halo games, too. I don't know about much else but that sort of thing is becoming more common these days, I think.
