Centhra's Dueling

Introduction
Dueling is an extensive system based around 1v1 combat.  A Duel takes place in a randomly picked map based on the chosen weapon.  Players can build these maps in build sessions, minigames designated for building.  Duels are started when someone accepts a challenge or boast proposed by another player.

The stats window, viewable on any server.

The challenge dialog, selecting weapon and goal.

The build submission dialog, where you select the
weapons for the map, and list the IDs of the
players that helped build.

The maps pane, where you can view all
the scenarios available to fight in.


Builders Wanted
We are looking for builders to make maps for people to duel in. If you're good at building, grab the client, hop in, and start a building session.


Purpose
Dueling was created to provide a fair deathmatching experience to people of all skill levels while maintaining that old-fashioned competitive spirit.

Very fun, when people are in it.


I remember this, used to play this a few years earlier..

Very good.

I wish it had players in it though...
I'm top of the gun and sniper rankings :)

I remember this server! Good to see it back in working order, it was (and still is) loadsafun.

Pretty much the best server. Though I think the population would go up if more people knew you could do knife duels here, which would in turn bring attention to the other, better (let's be honest here) weapons.

Best server? Don't you see that tezuni guy with the most players most of the time! His server has to be better!

On a serious note, it sucks that people would rather play stuffty servers than something well put together like Dueling.

If someone could tell me what is wrong with his server I would greatly appreciate it, I mean, besides the build. Centhra's is a room with player built arenas.
And the lack of administration in tez's is such a lie, there are almost always atleast mods on the server.

Centhra's is a room with player built arenas.

I think the part where players build arenas makes it more of a community oriented server than most of those currently running. We were going to make it so the community decided what maps were in the system, making it almost completely run by the community.

Sure, the server has been pretty much empty for this past week and a half. However, I'm fairly confident that, if it ever reached 16-20 people, it would keep itself filled for quite a while. This kind of server simply doesn't function well with a low player count and it appears people aren't willing to support populating it to get the fun going.

very fun server.

10/10 lots of fun

skill4life sucks at building :cookieMonster:

A single player in the server right now, that player is Trigun.

Servers like Rising Lava and Jail Escape get ~20 or so players, at a constant rate.
