Sorry Neo, I'm going to have to agree with Stevenson. Ignoring the odd spelling and capitalization, you can't massacre skills.
If you really think that an insult or retort was judged poorly, you can ask for second opinion. If the second judge agress with the first (like I just did), that's that. If they don't, it's up to the third judge to act as tie-breaker. Please note that if peoplee take advantage of this (challenging everything they lose), I'm going to ban challenging entirely.

Aura and Phonox, may I say that those are some wonderful insults and retorts.

Re: Rules, Discussion, & OOC
Should I delete the old training posts in Smirk's training center? Since, you know, the advice is useful for everyone.

Re: Rules, Discussion, & OOC
I'd say leave them. If you really want to keep the advice private, it'd probably be better to do via PM anyway.

Re: Rules, Discussion, & OOC
You know, we should have an Insult Sword Fight Tournament.

Re: Rules, Discussion, & OOC
Hahaha, What?
Oh, what a short lived victory that was. Why not? Let's mark my victory against the swordmaster with a double dose of ownage from Stevenson, with a nice and fluffy biscuit side.
Anyway, you can make the topic.

As mentioned in the Saying Hi thread, I've been wanting to do a tournament for a while. So, if we're going to do one, we first need to know who wants to compete.

Re: Rules, Discussion, & OOC
Sure, I'll participate. Though, it might be hard if all three of the judges are in... then we may end up with a judge vs judge match, leaving only one person to actually judge it.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.
