The Midgard Saga II [Concluded]

[GeneralHankerchief]

This bores me.

If you're looking for a logical, rational reason for why I picked WH, sorry. I picked him because I felt like it.

Hey, I'm not the one giving evasive answers. If you picked him because you felt like it than why didn't you just say so in the first place?

[Warmaster Horus]

If I lose, then we get valuable info on how powerful WH is.

... or how unpowerful I am, rather. How likely is it a guy who doesn't drink beer will be strong?

[seireikhaan]

Challenge: KukriKhan

We shall see who is the superior Mongol.

At least you will manage to hit your opponent, unlike us drunkards...

[Caius]

Challenge:Andres

We share the name! That's not good.

[Ferret]

ooooo I wanna fight

challenge:PK

[woad&fangs]

challenge: Husar

Because I don't think my previous post was in the correct format.

[TinCow]

If he has Jotun skills then they'll be revealed in the Holmgang.

Can someone else from Midgard I confirm this? It seems like a nice, easy thing for a person to say when they are themselves challenging for a Holmgang. GH is essentially setting himself up to be 'proven' innocent with his WH challenge.

[Andres]

Challenges:

1. GeneralHankerchief vs Warmaster Horus
2. woad&fangs vs Husar
3. makaikhaan vs Kukrikhaan
4. Caius vs Andres

[CountArach]

Wow, did you guys pick wrong? I was just pointing out the irony of my case...

[Csargo]

Why not? If I win, I boost my stats. If I lose, then we get valuable info on how powerful WH is.

How? You'd have to reveal your role PM, and even then there's a chance that the person with the lower stats will win.

[Quintus.JC]

... or how unpowerful I am, rather. How likely is it a guy who doesn't drink beer will be strong?

At least you'll be sober.

About the Holmagang, so basically if you fight in one of them you have proven yourself innocence, is that so?

[discovery1]

Ok, which one of you cowards dares to challenge me?

Sounds like a giant. since only a giant would be sure that they would likely win.

[seireikhaan]

Andres, why didn't you challenge anyone? Bluffing perhaps? Scummy.

[Andres]

Andres, why didn't you challenge anyone? Bluffing perhaps? Scummy.

I asked which one of you cowards dared to challenge me, I didn't say I would challenge somebody myself.

Besides, in Midgard I we had a system for this. We voted on who should challenge who, to put two suspects against each other.

I must say that the challenge spree amazes me a bit

Maybe we should organise this better in the next round?

Like voting in this format :

Vote : Challenge X vs Y

And than the challenge with the most votes, and only that challenge, takes place?

@TinCow:

Here is a description of a Holmgang from Midgard I between CountArach (good guy) and Stig (king of the Jotun):

The men and women of the three kingdoms were confident that they had got a Jotun this time. Some were not so sure though and they scowled at the others.
One such person was Stig he wasn’t so sure that they had got a Jotun this time and scowled at CountArach.
CountA did not like the look Stig gave him and gave the sign of stupid to him. Stig took this as a personal insult and challenged CountA to a Holmgang “Right here and now!!”
People gathered around and gave way until the crowd made the unmistakably circle for such events.
The two combatants made ready and measured each others ability, but it was hard to tell. To the crowed they seemed evenly matched. CounterArach drew his sword from his scabbard with in a slow motion. The sword a beautiful Frankish blade gleamed in the evening sun. Stig let his stay in its scabbard a little while longer.
Seeing that Stig did not unsheathe his sword, CountA attacked. It was a well practiced attack with an overhand right slash and with a return of a upward left slash. Stig ducked the first but got nicked on the follow up. CountA was about to continue with another combination but Stig had his sword out in a heartbeat and blocked with the sound of steel on steel. Stig was bleeding from the slash he got and was quite frustrated with the prospect of losing. He ignored the pain and returned CountA’s furious attacks. He countered when there was an opening. It paid off as CountA received his first wound. The fight became more even, but Stig was still bleeding and hurting from his wound. Both received several nicks and small wounds the following minutes and they were both tiring fast.
CountA suddenly pulled a knife and fought now with two weapons. Stig seemed to know what to do as he parried the new style of attack but he was now so tired that all he could do was defend himself. He kicked blindly into the body of CountA who had to step away. Stig took the opportunity to step a few step away from CountA to regain composure. CountA saw that he had Stig now and started for Stig. As he took his first step he slipped in the mud and went down face first. He never recovered because his knife was draining the blood from his heart. CountA found himself looking over the shoulders of a beautiful blonde. They were riding hard for some unknown destination to CountA. She turned and smiled. “I shall bring you home to where you belong, handsome.” CountA smiled back and knew this was not too bad. To hell with Stig, he was going to enjoy this.

I thought there was a mention of Stig's size in this one but I guess I was mistaken.

[Csargo]

That reads like they're evenly matched...

You probably still remember how I, a low soldier with a holmgang score of 2, defeated sapi, a champion with a score of 6 or more and how I got lynched because of it...

Holmgang doesn't reveal much, I'm afraid. Unless it's a battle between two gods, IIRC.

But we can use the system to let two suspects fight each other.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Sorry. I just wanted to have some fun, didn't realize it would turn into this.

[Andres]

Sorry. I just wanted to have some fun, didn't realize it would turn into this.

You mean this isn't fun?

[seireikhaan]

You mean this isn't fun?

Not with you being the wet blanket.

[Andres]

Not with you being the wet blanket.

You want me to climb into a dryer?

[Craterus]

I think it's forgivable to let people have some fun with Holmgang on the first round. Maybe later in the game, things can be organised like that but I don't see the need right now.

[seireikhaan]

You want me to climb into a dryer?

Nah, climb into a wine barrel. That'll be more fun than the dryer.

[Andres]

Nah, climb into a wine barrel. That'll be more fun than the dryer.

But then I'll still be wet...

[seireikhaan]

But then I'll still be wet...

It'll be a more fun version of wet.

[Warmaster Horus]

But we can use the system to let two suspects fight each other.

Yeah, we can, but on day one we had one suspect; CA and he got lynched. So not much we could do today.
