"Kaufmostere289 has challenged you to a duel!"
Little Timmy's face lit up, he crackles his knuckles and pressed the accept button while whispering; "bring it on bitch" just loud enough to give himself that little extra confidence and just soft enough for his mom sitting on the couch close to him watching the TV not to hear.
15 seconds later and the message on the screen displays that little Timmy is the winner of the battle. His hands ever so fast press 3 buttons, but with those 3 button's little Timmy's adversary will get humiliated in many different ways. Little Timmy has done all of this so many times that he has everything programmed, the humiliating, the teabaging and even the classic "I shot your grandma move" is at the press of one key.
Little Timmy was 11 years old, with just a couple of friends. He was the only one of his friends to play computer games, at least until his friend Cleve got a brand new computer. Little Timmy grabbing his chance brought a copy of his favorite game to Cleve's home in the hope that he will start playing together with Timmy. He showed Cleve the basics, how to move, jump, dodge and shoot and then leaves him to practice on his own.
Cleve talks a lot about the game and how he is getting better day by day, Cleve would like to join Timmy's team. They are very famous, but little Timmy says the team is only for very "pro" people and a "noob" like him would not belong. Cleve is confused, little Timmy wanted him to play the game and play with him, but now little Timmy says he is not good enough. Cleve decides to practice more and more until he will be good enough.
Little Timmy just turned 12, his mom and dad bought him a computer. Little Timmy is very happy.
The first thing he installs is the game he always played. As soon as he starts up the game he gets a message "Kernikor has challenged you to a duel!" Timmy is pleased and gets ready.
45 seconds later and little Timmy didn't know if he should scream, cry or beat up everything he could get his hands on. Little Timmy got really quiet and figured it was all because of the new computer, he just has to get used to it still. He practiced for some hours and went to bed.
The next day little Timmy tried again and dueled several people. He won game after game so he thought he was ready for the big tournament that was going down tonight. Little Timmy worked himself to the finals in no time, not surprising to him or anyone else. The final was little Timmy against Kernikor. Little Timmy got ready and prepared, but 12 seconds later it was over. He lost. Kernikor only said 1 word after all was over;"Cleve". This infuriated little Timmy, no way that the amateur can beat him! He stormed outside and returned a couple of hours later and went straight to bed.
The next day at school little Timmy made fun of Cleve all day long he went as far as he could so at the end of the day Cleve went home crying. When little Timmy got home and got ready to play the first message he got on the screen was "Kernikor has challenged you to a duel!" He accepted knowing very well he would win now. Little Timmy won after a very hard round, ecstatic he humiliated him in every way he could.
"Kernikor has challenged you to a duel!" it said again, little Timmy accepted and humiliated him again this one was close though. 15 minutes later the message came again and little Timmy accepted again, this time was easier. Again came the message and again it was too easy. Little Timmy got a strange feeling.
It was 23:45 and little Timmy had just accepted another duel from Cleve, little Timmy's full attention went to the computer. Obsessed with the humiliating of his former friend he was unaware of the events unfolding around him. At least until some blood spat up against his screen, turning around to curse at his mom for distracting him he saw his mom slumped over on the couch with blood squirting out her neck.
Turning further around he looked "him" in the eyes, it was Cleve. Suddenly a warm liquid was running down his neck and soaking his shirt. His former friend turns him around and shows him his character getting shot, at the same time he feels a cold piece of steel penetrating his stomach several times. Everything was getting colder and colder, feeling more tired he slumps over.
Little Timmy is no more...

Better than a forfeit, I guess.
