Anything more specific than that (ie. stockloadout, number of heatsinks, ammo placement, etc) cannot be enforced and therefore shouldn't be used as a restriction in any serious duel, imo.

What kind of drugs are you on? That is exactly what I said plus you cant see armor values (if they moved more armor to front or added more than stock armor)

Oh? Where is the part it shows armor and heatsinks?

Let me bold this for you so that it can be a little more easy for you to follow:

You would have to stream your match and show the mechlab to verify loadouts (stock armor values and single heatsinks).

this mech has no heat. Yes, Mech the Dane could use upgrades to max out the armor, but I expect him to have some honour.

This might help.

Except that also requires us to trust you, which we dont.

I've already given the solution for your requirements of the fight.

Who do you think you are? Demanding ludicrous conditions that clearly favor you in this holmgang? Any one else reading this can immediately see your demands are ridiculous and I would hazard most would advice me to disenegage from this farce. I cannot blame them for voicing their concern here. So I guess that answers your question; the concerned public who want a good fight and not a sham.

Someone who does not fear you.

Scurro, I really thought that link was going to be to Jean Knight's Mr. Big Stuff.

BSK, Leader of the Berserker unit, I Dane Jarl of the ISENGRIM, challenge you to trial by combat, or Holmgang.

From the Wikipedia page that you posted:

• Rules determined the allowed weapons
  
• Combatants were permitted a specific number of shields

This definitely sounds like a stock mech with a shield, ergo the Centurion-AH.

Which was exactly my point why I opened this thread, 7 people all from the same unit with disabled VOIP ignored any friendly attempt of coordination and teamplay. This faction should be more welcoming to people who join their faction, but I had to find the same attitude that we were greeted with during Tukayyid 2. We are very funny guys to hang out with as long as you bring the minimum of respect that human interaction could ask for. If you cannot even bring that, then it's you, not the messenger.

You opened this thread with a boisterous "We took a bunch of planets, where are the rest of you losers hiding" attitude. Which is the same exact attitude that anyone who has had the misfortune of dropping with you has experienced.

Then when you, shockingly, didn't immediately get the respect and praise you believe you deserved, you started mudslinging against one of the most respected men in the FRR because he accidentally mistyped your name, once, some time ago.

The FRR is very welcoming and opened armed to just about anyone. That doesn't mean you get greeted with a smile and a hug when you've done nothing but be a negative to its good people.. And honestly we'd still welcome you with open arms if you could offer even the slightest hint of contrition.

No one here hates you, wants you harmed, or wishes misfortune on your unit, but a lot of us would just prefer to not deal with you and go on with our lives.

Then lets fight in an Cent-AH. But forgo the stock build junk.

who decides what weapons you use in a holmgang?

[Donegal]

Most honor systems throughout the world give the choice of weapons to the challenged

Wikipedia said:

Exact rules varied from place to place and changed over time, but before each challenge the duelists agreed to the rules they used.[/color]

​Holmgang rules/weapons varied. The one thing that was consistent, is that both parties agreed to the rules.

[MischiefSC]

Got to admit.

This is actually pretty spot on for Danelaw ghost politics.

"You're a p***y!"

"F*** off you arrogant arse!"

"Make me!"

"Trial by combat!"

"We use the rules my grandma invented, as Wodin demands!"

"Screw that, I'm using my Scandian axe, it's got my lucky collection of holy symbols. Now come here so I can kill you and enslave your wife and daughters."

"My 4 year old son shaves with a Scandian axe until he gets old enough to use something better. I'm going to get 200 drunk and rowdy villagers and go pillage the **** out of you all winter!"

Rinse and repeat.

Largely this thread has to continue until someone dies mysteriously at sea or gets poisoned.
