Why I like dueling on the forums
(although I swore I'll never duel again online due to difficulties) is that you can get gold for posting. Also, it's easier to keep track of what's going on to me. PM duels are annoying with all the quotes.
Yes, tracking down from last turn is good. But, Games and Town also have the dialog which you can go back..
Actually Games is better to duel.. Town dialog resets when it has max posts..
