Date/time seems fine. As for the place, I'd prefer a place within half a dozen jumps of Rens if we are doing the empire thing. Ideally not too busy a system to keep the ship responsiveness up.
...
And I frankly can't resist a fight. 
Very well, I can arrange that. I will send you the location a couple of days prior so you can set up at your leisure.
Frankly, the only reason I am fighting you Jasmine is because I said I would and I don't go back on my word (even though if I wanted to get technical I could reject your random initial range clause), so I intend to keep this one low key. I honestly do not see any potential for profit or personal satisfaction and I intend to put the lives of my crew above my ego, if and when it comes to that.

From what I could gather over FTL, since I wasn't there in person:
Rail-o-rax w/ ECM drones vs. Blaster-rax = Nooey never got got a shot off.
Just to correct the facts, since people seem intent on talking about it, Nooey's blasterax was using the ECM drones. The reason he did not get a shot is because I stayed out of his range. I barely got any shots myself as I was jammed for the most part. My combat drones were the only thing doing damage.

You are quite within your rights to warp away if it comes to that Shemar of course. And technically (if indeed we are being technical) the whole basis of mutual acceptance of arbitary rules sets is no binding legalistic treatise simply an agreement between spacers to do things in a particular way. While you were in nowise bound to accept my challenge its wrong to cite legal technicalities as an option since such things very literally do not exist.
Anyways, I'll look forward to the contest and goddess willing there'll be no foolish loss of life and an entertaining engagement beyond.

My apologies, I was going on what I heard over FTL, the bits and pieces left me to string that together.
Regardless, sounds like it would've been fun to actually see.

The holoreel of the duel is now available. Due to the relative lack of action it has been decided to provide it as part of the basic GEN services and not as a premium service. All subscribers can access it here.

Well I'm glad thatÆs finally over, its a shame that two very intelligent speakers of the Summit can't settle disputes peacefully but when push comes to shove actions speak louder than words.
Nooey seems to be honouring his agreement and Shemar is refraining from gloating. I believe theyÆve both gained something from this.

a warrior of weapons or words fights tirelessly for famous victories. Once foiled however, thier names are stricken from books of honor and respect.
When push comes to shove madame troja,
People will often fight over nothing at all. its not that they can't handle a dispute, its because they are mearly human...

A wonderful duel! Thanks to both duellists. I found I was missing the close-in battles from Johnny D. Wrayne's movies though...  -- that's real life for you, I suppose.
Top notch entertainment, excellent to find the feed as a free offering too! Didn't expect that.

I wonder how Nooey is taking this rather humiliating loss. I hope he's keeping quiet because he's being noble and owning up to his end of the bargin, because I fear there could be other explanations for why he's so silent. I just hope Yuki isn't teasing him. If this or similar happened to Yuki or I while we were Reikoku pilots, the mass jeering and and alliance wide humiliation would have amounted to ritual suicide, I'm sure.

I should think that he's either arranging his own death, or packing up to leave.

I would like to thank all those that supported me, either verbally or financially (by betting against me  )
I would also like to reiterate that duels do not prove or change anything. I have always maintained that and my opinion has not shifted just because I won one. As far as I am concerned, we just put on a show and made GLS (and me personally) some money.
My thanks

I can't help but get a laugh at the whole disuse of "inferior Caldari technology", but Shemar's ships used railguns, which are very much a Caldari weapon, whereas Nooey used Blasters, a Gallente weapon.
Oh the amusement in looking back at some of these comments.

I was expecting it to be a typical Thorax blaster stand-off, which is why I voiced no objection to Nooey's loadout choice when he mentioned it in passing. And it really is their thing anyway, so I'd rather not get too involved in it. I think Shemar proved that he has some degree of smarts (however small that measurement may be), and since he was under Nooey's command before, I didn't think it was entirely impossible for this to happen, even if I did put my faith in poor Nooey.
Anyway, I don't personally believe duels prove anything. They only briefly settle disputes maybe - and I'm sure some people have enjoyed the relative peace and quiet.
(Also, I do find what Zenobia-haan pointed out to be slightly amusing, even though railgun technology is shared between the two nations).

Nooey has no doubt been crying like a baby after such a humiliating defeat... Defeated by range  , Nooey I'll teach ya how to fly a cruiser sometime. 
And Shemar showed smarts?... hmm, um, well at least he's cute.

I would expect that Nooey is packing up to leave, but it seems that Omerta hasn't yet bothered to eject him...you should really get around to that, don't want to give him mixed messages or anything.
Unless of course he has chosen to end his life as a member of O-Syn, which would be perfectly honorable and understandable.

Ehm... Well... Err...
Sicex... We need to talk...
Though I must say it would be unfair to say anything other than that under those rules Shemar applied his greys nicely. I still am curious to know how he'll do in engagements where he doesn't know what he's facing, though. That's my one disappointment with this whole affair.

Indeed, it's very amusing to see people characterize railguns, for which Gallente ships have specific performance enhancements to the same degree as they do for blasters, as "Caldari wepaons".
Sheesh, some people! Don't you agree?

Malthros and Kyoko: This kind of thinking is exactly what will destroy the Caldari in the event of a war, just as it cost Nooey dearly. It does not matter how effective a typical ship loadout is, when it becomes predicatble it is doomed to fail. The Thorax cruiser is not the best cruiser because it can be loaded with blasters for extreme damage output, it is the best cruiser becaue of it's unmatched tactical flexibility. In any case, if you really think that any Caldari cruiser can match it, feel free to ask for a tryout.
As for the petty comments Kyoko, I will leave the judgement of each side's behavior before and after the duel to others.

Is that so?
Bring a Thorax and I'll bring you a surprise. (No, not ECM.)
Up for it?

That is quite one sided Tatsue and just illustrates my point that under equal terms the Thorax is unmatched. I am sure there are ways to defeat a Thorax with a generic by necessity setup, using a very specialized setup and the knowledge of what you are facing as an advantage. The Thorax is good, but it is not 'that' good.
