    If you're going to half-ass the duel like that then just play rock-paper-scissors.

    First Blood is a valid duel, merely less popular than to the death.

    If you enter a duel with the expectation of letting go of grudges, you deserve to be stabbed in the throat. Don't face your nemesis with a blade unless you're willing to commit. Work it out over Battleships or Guess Who instead.

    That's what duels were for though, they were literally about settling grudges, with the conditions of victory, Death (which only actually became popular in courts and with pistols), First Blood or until Surrender being the three most popular ones.

    And look how successful they were at that. Odd, how swinging swords around a bit until someone gets cut doesn't solve the underlaying issue.

    But again: Swords out? Don't expect both parties to walk away, much less if they actually dislike each other.

    It was actually pretty rare for the losing party to keep pursuing an issue after a duel so they were pretty successful. The main reason they fell out of practice was the introduction of pistols dramatically increasing deaths, and the post-Napoleonic introduction of better civil litigation.
