*You* didn't.  Hailey did.  Hailey kept saying she had been offering a raise
in tax share, and that Adelina refused.  She also said no one needed more
gold, since no one asked for it.  Those were just plain lies.

Then the feature you should be asking for is "postpone a duel".  That is,
there should be a way to say "yes, but not now" when someone challenges you
to a duel, instead of saying "yes" and then avoid meeting.

I never said it was anyone's fault.  I am just saying I care about
honour/prestige points even though they're not much, because little plus
little makes a lot.

Well, then, let other players play the consequences that fit them.

And the way you are arguing now, it just sounds like you are accusing me of
being a bad roleplayer just for not letting my character be killed by
yours.

Do you think I am playing out of context?  There are as many ways to be a
noble as there were nobles.  You want people to play only your way.  That's
the attitude I am complaining about.
