Or perhaps you just don't know as much as you think you do.
Seems to be the case quite often. But we're off topic yet again. At any rate, the point of the matter is that not everyone that requests duels to the death has a high swordfighting and that doing so solely for RP reasons is the best way to do so, even if one may lose or even has a high likelihood of losing. To not do so because "a character might die" just seems wrong in my opinion.
