=Dueling=Dueling is a fight between two individual pilots that has been agreed upon before hand. To initiate a duel one of the two pilots must enter the "/duel challenge <pilot>" command, where "<pilot>" is the name of the pilot that you wish to duel. Once that has been entered, the challenged pilot will receive a message that you have challenged them to a duel. They have two options. Either, a) type "/duel accept <pilot>" can refer either informal consensual 1v1s or "/duel decline <pilot>"an in-game 1v1 rating system. If the pilot accepts the challenge, the duel has begun, though some rules may descussed before the battle begins. If the duel is declined the challanger will receive a message saying that the challenge was declined.<br><br>Duel Commands:*/duel challenge - Used to initiate a duel*/duel accept - Used to accept a challenge*/duel decline - Used to decline a challenge*/duel abort - Used to abort a duel in progress <i>(Good to use if someone interupts your duel in progress)</i><br><br>Back to [[Main_Page | Main Page]]
==RulesConventions==When dueling, there are no rules that the Developers have set forth that MUST be followed, but, there is a generally accepted set of rules that most pilots follow. Duels can range from standard issue buses to pilots preference.<br><br>The accepted rule of thumb when dueling includes the following:
#Opponents must have a starting distance Players seeking either type of 1000m. Premature starts can result duel typically congregate in a resetting of distance or a forfit of duelSedina B8.#Any requests as to ship type/weapon loadout from either side must be honored. #Docking to rearm/repair Swarms and warping out of a sector other fire-and-forget weapons are regarded as a loss for that pilotfrowned on.#An issue in any form, be it from collision Running or self inflicted damage otherwise avoiding inevitable death is regarded seen as a loss for that pilot.#If at any point a ship not involved in the duel fires on or damages any ship, that ship should be destroyed (if possible) by the duelistsdishonorable.<br><br>Back to [[Main_Page | Main Page]]==Formal Duels==
==Etiquette==Formal duels are initiated with /duel commands. The first player to die or leave the sector loses. If either player takes damage from a ship not engaged in the duel, the duel is automatically aborted. Faction penalties are never awarded for killing your dueling opponent. Pilots in the middle of a duel are displayed as light blue blips on radar.

==Ranking==Vendetta Onlineâ„¢ uses the same statistical ranking algorithm used by the international chess consortiums to rank chess players. Your rating changes over time. Points you win or lose when fighting someone depend on their rating at the time of the duel. Your rank is weighted against the history of the person you are duelling. If you're duelling someone who isn't very good <i>(or has a terrible record)</i> you won't increase in skill assessment. The stats should be viewable in-game by checking your "Character Info" tab.<br><br><b><u>The duel ranking system is still under construction</u></b>, but there are plans for more features as well as awards for those with certian levels.<br><br>A stats list can be found on the Official Vendetta Online website which shows your [http[Category://vendetta-online.com/h/duelstats/page1.html rank as a dueler].<br><br>Back to [[Main_Page | Main PageAggressive Activities]]
