This entire argument about knife fights is stupid because it's missing the entire point that KNIFE FIGHTING DOES NOT RESULT IN A GOOD FUCKING LEADER.
We literally have an entire subgroup of 'strong but stupider' monkes, the alphas. And now, they don't even have lesser lifespans - outside of geniuses like eoba, who was basically the best knife-fighter in our history outside of the ancients, alphas would have an EXTREMELY great advantage.
Furthermore, it STILL wouldn't deal with the issue of neuroticism. Agori was literally one of the strongest supremes - far as i know, the only one who could fight him would be the original, AKULE THE UNSPEAKABLE. Imagine if every generation, an Agori ruled.
Furthermore, it also creates the problem of having extremely easy to make puppets. What if a hazaar pricked a vetuckian and used him to challenge the throne? Or what if they used one of thos giant frank horrigan monkeys instead?
I don't like any of the options purely, and while i would rather choose an modified version of selection that chose TEENAGERS, dueling is simply stupid
