Successfully slap another pirate in the face with the glove found in your inventory wheel and a quest appears in your quest wheel. The quest would be given to you and the slapped pirate. It would be a duel challenge and denote a random island at a random time. this would be a 1 on 1 fight which begins once both pirates feet are on the same island. The fight begins when the music starts. The fight is paused if another pirate/cannonball touches the island

• If one pirate doesn't turn up, he immediately loses and the attending pirate wins.
• If both don't turn up nothing happens
• The winner has to make the killing stroke
• The fight lasts until one pirate is sent to the ferry
• The winner gets 1 Doubloon

how about 20 doubloons then it would be fun

@closinghare208 the reward for winning would have to be balanced against what the reward can buy. Can't have someone shoot to pirate legend through only dueling
It could promote social interactions between crews too. Would be interesting for your other crew mates seeing who came back to the boat victorious ans who spawned back from the ferry beaten.

Would be interesting to see how the non-participating crew mates act whilst the fight is on... You could have the two duelling pirates fighting whilst their mates exchange cannon fire, you could have both crews on one boat, drinking rum, dancing, playing tunes and cheering on their favourite to win.
Think this could be good fun. I bet the glove slap animation would be quite funny too and in-keeping with the SOT way.

Love the basic idea; it does have a small issue with convincing your crew to brig your opponent, and thus denying him a chance to get to the island in time. Or even worse, ask another crew to spawn kill your opponent...

Should be doable with a fish instead of a glove :)

@lem0n-curry oh, i was thinking this would be between different crews, so no way to brig your opponent.
Would be good if it could be done in-crew too though. If your crew mates brigged you, I'd say you need a new crew.
Would be funny to do it with a wet fish too :)

Completely missed it was not intended as in-crew, but cross crew should be fun as well.

The 1 doubloon prize comes from the person who loses I suppose.

@lem0n-curry i like the idea that the other pirate pays... but wbat if they have no way to pay?

Should duels be publicized on outposts so other crews can come watch? You could create a leader board... because the fight would be a random date in the in-game future this addition wouldn't be able to take over other area's of the game but would be great for PvP practice.
Also as you only get one life during a fight I bet the fights would be epic

Perhaps it can be also some gold, that gets more if the other slaps back (and so on); with a glove it starts with a doubloon, with a fish it is the value of the fish in gold.

You can't slap if you can't afford it and you can't buy stuff 'till the duel obviously.

Hmm, what happens if the person gets the killing blow from someone else ?

I think the person would respawn on their boat, the music would pause and the match would reset. You'd have to have a way to stop crew intervention.
It would be improbable but the programmers would have to make sure no other quests came about directing people to that island.
Could you imagine....a duel to the death is jist about to kick off and some solo slooper pops up, "sorry guys, don't mind me... just looking for a castaway chest that's been buried somewhere round here..."

that's true

@ender-enderson I like this idea. Perhaps that empty shack on the outposts could be a betting shop where you can place bets on upcoming duels.
Fights on the larger islands could be interesting. You'd have pirates turn up early and take up sniper positions (they'd only have so much ammo so couldn't camp there indefinitely). The choice of what weapon to bring with you would be really important.

I hardly also NEVER check my pocket watch. If there were some game events such as this it would give the passing of time a little more meaning.
