People you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley

Nah, we spiked the laws of physics years ago. Schroedinger's laws dont apply.

Yes, I remember containing Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle into a spike, then forging it into a sword.

Pretty deadly weapon. You couldn't know both where the blade was and how fast it was moving at the same time.

[LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian]

But the deadliest weapon of all is of course the Photon sword. First off you would have to blind both your self and your opponent, but a sword that can either be a sword or a wave of swords is pretty deadly. As long as you leave no observers.

Hear a rush of wind, and a letter, sealed and marked with “canton of Combat” appears on the seal with twin towers, the letter reads:

Hello Denizens of the Dark alley, I am. Nohadon, The Lord Prelan of the canton of Combat, and I propose a duel, between me and whatever champion you wish to pick, the rules are as follows:

Whoever dies or taps out first loses.

No chromium or perpendicularity making allowed.

I choose the location.

Limit to five “powers” in total (whether this Be allomancy, Feruchemy, surges or aons, each individual surge/metal counts as a power)

Weapons have to be found or makeable during Final Empire Era times, no guns or laser-machine guns 

you may only enter one champion at a time.

the prize for winning will be what they wish, anything short of removing other members or disbanding the guild is allowed.

in the event of my death, @MoHaam will see to your wishes, i’m Sure you will have backup plans when you die as well.

kind regards,

Nohadon

Well, this looks promising.

I don't believe I'd survive removing enough spikes to bring myself down to only 5 abilities so I guess I'll pass.

[kenod]

Does the theory behind techniques used have to comply with Final Empire levels of science? And in that case, how about using things such as chromium and bendalloy? Also, does Aons count as a single power, or only the ability to use a specific Aon?

Edit: Just read chromium isn't allowed. Still, my point with using modern metals stands.

I accept this challenge, but you may not use the pioneering feruchemical architecture you have been researching.

What is this treachery.

Just to clarify, use of all aons in aondor count collectively as 1 power (but remember that I choose the location)  modern metals are allowed.

Lord Prelan Nohadon!

As per the dueling codes of 1777, sections XV and XVI, "the challenged has the right to choose his own weapon, unless the challenger gives his honor he is no swordsman; after which, however, he can decline any second species of weapon proposed by the challenged. The challenged chooses his ground, the challenger chooses his distance, the seconds fix the time and terms of firing."

Thus, it is the right of the challenged to choose the location for duelling, though it is your right as challenger to position yourself on said location before the duel commences. As the Lord Prelan of a canton rich in the traditions of combat, I am sure you understand the importance of dueling codes.

 

I would further like to clarify the terms of this duel.

For one, let us stipulate that both parties shall name the prize they would exact from the other, should they be victorious. The duel will not commence until both parties agree on the prize named by the other party.

Let us also stipulate that the duel shall continue until one party yields, is incapacitated, or is killed.

In addition to the restrictions you have already outlined, the use of type IV awakened entities will be forbidden.

Lets us finally stipulate that an odd number of impartial moderators must preside over the duel, no fewer than one.

 

Are these amendments and clarifications to the terms of the duel generally acceptable?

[The Forgetful Archivist he/him]

Sounds fair enough. Altho the Code Duello (which I assume you are referring to) calls for the two parties to fight with the same weapon, are we going to do that too?

We have a deal, it will take place between I and @LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian, he may pick the location, but there will be no use of feruchemical architecture.

Excellent. As a Dark Alley affiliate, I would not presume to be any sort of impartial, but I can ensure that everything is conducted in an Honorable fashion.

[The Forgetful Archivist he/him]

@Nohadon and @LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian when is this gonna go down? 

[LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian]

I’ll create the RP thread when @Nohadon gives the go ahead.

[AonEne he/him in an enby way]

Um, hello. May I join you all?

After inquiring about you, I have come up with these questions.

The disclaimer both immensely confuses me and makes me laugh, so there's that. Just pass out a cookie, you say? Does it have to be a specific cookie? Do I have to sign on any dotted lines? Where should I show this cookie? What's the LA? Do I have to write that I am or am not a member of the DA in my signature?

[MacThorstenson he/him]

@AonEne

 

All you have to do is offer a cookie on an intro thread. Any cookie. No signing involved and they don’t need to accept it. LA is the current iteration of the light alley. They are opposed to us. (Dark alley vs Light alley). There have been quite a few organizations that were opposed to us during the heyday. They all died. You don’t need to write anything in your sig about being a member. Just offering the cookie is enough. 

[AonEne he/him in an enby way]

 Am I a member now?

[MacThorstenson he/him]

Beautiful! You are now a member of the most OP guild in the 17th shard. If you would like the standees member benifets, just ask. 

[Quickbronze he/him]

"You have gone down a dark path..." A cognitive shadow in the corner whispers.

[MacThorstenson he/him]

Shut up. Your just mad you lost.

[Quickbronze he/him]

"Whaaaat?" He whispers again.

[The Forgetful Archivist he/him]

Somebody get the silver dust, let's catch us a cognitive shadow!

[Quickbronze he/him]

"I'm not..." He whispers, "A shade..." 

[MacThorstenson he/him]

Wait, are you not the man we spiked with loyalty to the dark alley after he tried to resist us?
