    This is a misinterpretation of “Ten Duel Commandments”, which does not mention a 10-step nor a 9-stage approach for the duel itself, but the process of setting it up, of which at any point one may chicken out. The segment’s formulation of the process as ten points (which I’ll reproduce here from Wikipedia) is original but apparently does nicely sum up the rules:

    1. Demand satisfaction. No dueling is necessary if they apologize.
    2. If they do not apologize, choose someone to act as your second, your lieutenant.
    3. Have your seconds negotiate a resolution, or the location and date for the duel.
    4. If a duel is settled, choose your weapons and have a doctor present.
    5. Duel before dawn.
    6. Write a note for your next of kin.
    7. Confess your sins.
    8. Once again, have your seconds attempt to negotiate peace.
    9. Aim no higher than the dueler’s eye.
    10. Count ten paces, then fire.

      OK bubba. Please learn how to formulate your own thought instead of AI.

      But in your hubris to correct me with Wikipedia, you forgot about the musical Hamilton…

        i’m not using AI 😭 your comment makes it sound like the duel itself and not the preparation has nine stages, and that it only stops with death when they just fire

        I’m a bit confused about your second paragraph. I am talking about Ten Duel Commandments from the musical Hamilton. The list is Wikipedia’s summary of the number/song.

          It really reads like an AI attempting to paraphrase the lyrics of the song without infringing upon copyright.

          The 10 Rap Commandments was an homage to Biggies “10 Crack Commandments”. LMM put in tons of references to hiphop culture, literature, and pop-culture. I particularly like how he managed to work in “Screw your courage to the sticking place” as a reference to both Macbeth and the best song in his favorite Disney movie (Beauty and the Beast). (My opinion on being best song in B&B. Probably #2 for Disney Villain songs…Be Prepared has my #1 spot)

          Man the dude is such an impressive lyricist. I can’t say I care much for his singing…he’s talented, don’t get me wrong, but far from the best singer in the original cast (which itself is a huge contest but probably Leslie Odom Jr (Burr), though Renee Goldsbury (Angelica Schuyler) or Philippa Soo (Elizabeth Schuyler/Hamilton) were both absolutely amazing too…“Burn” still gives me chills)…but writing is really his strength.
