Well... I think his patience has hit its limit. He's stopped going for the battle circle, he's just out to kill your guy now.

ElladanKenet I'm surprised Ordo has lived so long into these 'negotiations'. Are you just being merciful, or is your character actually willing to put him to the test? Well, regardless it seems evident. I was worried he'd have been dead when I woke up this morning. I was really just looking to beat you down just like a father beating down an insolent child. But Mandalore's patience has worn thin. He might not stop at beating you down.

A Mandalorian needs to know when to back down and call in a strategic withdrawl.

If he would have walked away from the meeting, your men would have shot him down as was originally intended, and you yourself said. It was either convince the most subborn and unfriendly man in the galaxy, or become a saint in the eyes of all his men

You already lost their interest when you wouldnt fight me as I had stated earlier. You seemed like a coward. Maybe you are.

You don't see me as one, but as far as most of the Mandalorians are concerned, you're nothing more than a rouge traitor, and they'd follow him before you. He's defending them, and would be their martyr, regardless what happeens to them and what you do.

Thats where you're wrong... your beliefs are born out of a deep misunderstanding of Mandalorian Culture. There is no leadership without the challenge of personal combat. If your man falls in the Battlecircle those that follow him will join with Mandalore the Immortal.
By refusing to fight him at first he may well have lost many of his followers already.

And you've missed the whole implied discussion about how this Mandalore was usurped and their government altered. They might follow him, and some likely will, and already do, but Ordo will be renembered, and as a man who died for what he believed was right, and in battle. If I'm not mistaken, there can be no higher calling.

Governments may be altered and upsert, but Culture can not be so easily manipulated (In order for such a drastic change to have occured in Mandalorian Culture you'd have had to have been in power for hundreds if not thousands of years. You haven't been in power that long). Before your man there was no central government to the Mandalorians, none at all...
Most mandalorians have but one allegiance, to Mandalore, who is the most respected member of their order. This respect is gained by proof of courage and skill either in the battlefield or through the battlecircle. If a mandalore is defeated he abdicates for another... often times the one that defeated him.
