so am I to presume correctly that points are gained through wins and lost through losses?
it seems like an interesting idea, I'm hopeful it gains approval and momentum.
oh, I can't really think of any suggestions off the top of my head, it looks pretty solid as is.
one comment though, what will happen if a duelist runs out of ammunition? are they allowed to reload or will they have to make due with what they may or may not have?
