There's no point in dueling period but apparently its appealing to some ~HiS~ *nods head vehemently*

It would appear that Brom either agreed to the duel before the terms were set, or Abel offered new terms after an original agreement. (the loser be buried) You shouldn't agree to a duel before you know what it entails, but I would forgive that lapse in judgment if it were the case.
Either way, I believe it excuses Brom's withdrawal. I wouldn't agree to potentially being buried for what I expect is extremely petty drama either. I think he should have attempted to negotiate different terms though.

*shrug* You should say what you mean and mean what you say. Brom may think that he's coming off as "the better man" or some such shit, but he's actually looking more like a fast talker who doesn't bother to think before he speaks.

I'll be the first to admit, I have problems communicating at times. And far be it for me to call myself better than anyone else. But, nonetheless. I declined before the offer of going dead and buried at the end. So, that had nothing to do with it.

Which means yet again, you agreed and then backed out, conveniently because you had to 'wait' for your opponent to be available. It all adds up to the same kiddo.

I think you should just have to duel with him anyway. Who cares if he's willing??? Quoted for Emphasis.

You should say what you mean and mean what you say. That's why I love you! Listen to the bitch, dickheads. She's got more balls and brains than you and all of your future generations of offsprings... Now cut the crap and fight each other until one shuts the other up! Or accept to be looked at for the pansies you are. It take to not to fight.

Brom accepted your challenge. But then when you were not able to do it according to his schedule, he rescinded his acceptance. Pfft... You sir have slapped Brom in the face with the gauntlet and now you are honor bound to go through with it, regardless if he wants to participate or just stand there and bleed.
My advise to you Brom... Don't accept a challenge from someone and then back out a week later. We are immortal. A week is but a blink of the eye compared to eternity. Also, it is your choice who you attack, but it is not up to you to decide who attacks you for whatever reason. (i.e. in response to a duel challenge.)
---EDIT because I forgot who originally challenged whom---

Considering that Brom withdrew before Abel said anything about being buried, then I'm saying not the case. If I'm reading this right, Brom was 100% for fighting until Abel disappeared for an unspecified amount of time, at which point Brom immediately said "fuck it, I don't operate according to HIS schedule". Why wasn't anyone howling for Brom to HW the abyss out of Daly's prone meatjacket at that point? The challenge was already accepted. I mean, it seems to me that the entire POINT of a duel is to settle a matter immediately, in an efficient manner, not create some blood feud that could come into play at any quarkdamned moment in the future. It seems much more chicken-shit to me to come back after an opponent graciously granted you a pass in your absence, and expect him to drop whatever he's moved on to, and come back to humor your total lack of respect. It also seems to me that a lot of vampires will back any bad logic available to see blood spilled. If we're all that starved for violence, someone should just declare a City-wide war and start pitching vials until they've gotten it out of their system. There'll be a lot fewer issues to tiptoe around once the gutters run dry.

There was a 7 day break between him saying he'll wait and him saying he won't. That's not immediately-with-italicized-emphasis, no matter how you try to slice it.

Jaclyn posted that Abel would be postponing the fight "until further notice" on the 3rd. Brom posted next on the 4th, the immediate with italics next day, saying that he didn't plan to wait around for an unspecified amount of time for this. From where I sit, the post on the 11th just looks like reiteration in case it was unclear.
Even prince here took it as a forfeit-by-absence on Abel's part, at the time. What follows is a gaggle of pires howling for blood that they have no fang in.

You're ignoring the "Someone bug me when he wakes up" part. That is rendering your point null. Generally, when someone says that, it means, "Hey, I'm not going to sit around here waiting for him, so when he's around, call me and we'll rock it." If he was not willing to duel then, then he wouldn't have bothered to ask for someone to get him when he awakens. It's pure logic.
And in reality, it's a gaggle of pires posting what they feel like on a public board because they can since, yanno, it's a public board. You can get as hyper as you want because noone has a "fang" in it, but I'm fairly certain that you'll get yourself over it. You're a big boy like that and all.
