I am trying to make myself clear. I think The Duels is a wonderful idea, which does not encounter the same success of the Painting Competitions, if they get less votes.
So, my idea would be to copy some strong points of the Competitions: transparent advertisement in advance, fixed rules, direct evidence of the ongoing number of partecipants, in a word everything that makes us all "partecipate" at the events.
Yes, I knew there was a thread, but you find no evidence there of "what's going on".
I just think it would be nice to know what's going next, be it anonymous or not, it might be "two valiant challengers agreed to paint the same English Longbowman with some basing and no other limitations. They will be ready in x days or so, so be all there...".
Just my 2 cents, read it or discard it
