After striking down Razenth, Ssaliss rides into the middle of the battlefield and turns his steed towards Arix's army, berating and decrying him as a rebel and boasting of his ability to strike him down just as easily as he did Razenth. Arix, undeterred, accepts Ssaliss' challenge without a word and simply rides forth, his spear raised high as Ssaliss spurs his own horse forward to meet him...
The two generals trade blows for a total of well over 100 passes, without either man gaining the advantage. Ssaliss attempts to fire an arrow at Arix in between passes, but it is expertly deflected as they ride forth again, clashing for another 50 passes more. Finally, Ssaliss again goes for his bow, but Arix is ready for him, turning sharply and managing to deal a considerable blow to Ssaliss' back, but not managing to pierce his armor as it causes the general to slump forward in his saddle as he withdraws to his own lines, leaving Arix triumphant...
Arix's vote counts double for the rest of the day.
Ssaliss has lost the ability to vote for the rest of the day.

your reasoning is not terrible, however it is incorrect. My ability is to force the winner of a duel to show mercy, I have no special ability to boost my standings in a duel that I know of ( don't know how duels are resolved)
Arix is Zhao Yun.
He's Shu, Ssaliss is Shu, that's why you'll see neither of them attacked each other after the duel, and why Ssaliss decided not to reveal Arix's role.
Oi. Didn't know something bad would happen if you just refused it... If that was in the first post, I must've missed it. Sorry Phoebus 
Awww. So wait, the people who didn't respond to the challenges issued before mine don't face any penalty, but if I actually respond and say "nah bro" instead of ignoring it completely I'm punished? :/QUOTE (Phoebus @ Mar 7 2011, 04:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It says in the first post that anyone who doesn't accept a challenge automatically loses their vote.

I guess you probably can't explain the reason you feel it is legit since that would defeat the purpose, though?
Rather convenient excuse if you were scum and did not want to expose yourself, I think. Not necessarily that that is the case, but still.

Fiiine, I'm pretty sure I could explain it and still be good. Basically, I belong to one of two kingdoms, and once I claim I have to choose which. I would rather not do that until it suits me best.

Not good enough for me at this stage of the game.
WITHDRAW ARMY FROM KALANEYA
ORDER ARMY ATTACK PHOEBUS
Ok, ok, I get it, I'll claim now. I'd come up with something cool and in-character to say here but I am pretty much 100% unfamiliar with the source material so no awesome moment for me:I am Sun Shang Xiang, and I choose to fight on the side of the Wu. Now I can't save it up for a potential Shu underdog victory, which would have been awesome.
