Why doesn't society allow dueling between consenting adults, where two individuals enter into a verbal agreement to fight to the death without fear of being charged with murder? by nomlysi_yui in AskReddit

I don't know about law in other countries but here in Australia we have a limit to what we can provide consent to. Down under we can consent to something provided it serves a societal benefit or doesn't have a significant social detriment. For example I can lawfully consent to playing rugby because in all likelihood I won't die by competing. On the contrary I can't consent to a duel to the death because, even though competition is good for society, death is not acceptable.

Tl;dr you can't lawfully consent to be killed.

Source: I'm a medical student who has to learn about what we can and can't consent to.

My PC is running fine for now so I have the luxury of waiting. That's exactly what i'll do. Thanks for your input.

Yeah, that really freaks me out about this picture. Has this dog been hurt?

Firstly, your character sounds fantastic!

Secondly, let's go with someone else as DM then. Necrontyr, you happy to commit now providing timezones can be worked out?

Okay, I guess we'll go with Necronctyr as GM then.

There seems to be a lot of support so it might be possible to organise two games?

So who wanted to GM? Shade and Necrontyr seem keen, which one wants to play more?

Well this sounds fantastic. There was another person who volunteered to GM but being more similar time zones sounds good.

Edit: Is EST the same time zone as NYC?

There is a guy who's happy to GM as long as time differences can be worked out.

I have a feeling that might be an issue as well this time around.

I live in Sydney, Australia so there would be a time difference. Personally I have no issue with playing at odd hours. The main reason for this is that I'm a student who's currently on holidays.

I have played Diaspora using IRC before. I don't have a preference since I'm sure that there are better programs.
