Given your conditions, I would rule that the paladins win initiative but must choose to move second since they would impune their honor by agressively engaging the others after they have asked them to lay down their weapons.
So, if the party isn't interested in engaging the paladins this round, they could perhaps spend another round taunting the blue-bloods and perhaps build a better string of insults that will drive the crusaders beyond rationality and into a bezerker rage.
Good Fortune,
Richard

Subject: (TFT) Vote on Initiative
Just to mix things up a bit, I've decided to determine the initiative of an upcoming combat not with a die roll, but with a vote on who "wins" the pre-combat trash talk. You guys decide! Who wins initiative?
Two Paladins, Sir Travis and Sir Rorschach, waylay travelers on "Hedonist Street". The Player-Characters seemed unintersted in convincing the Paladins that their intentions are noble, choosing instead to challenge the Paladins' manhood:
"I take it you are nobles? Then you must take great offense to my compatriot, here, in his shiny plate suit! We spit on your inbred, perfumed, silk stocking'd, ass-packing nobility. Come here and teach me your finer arts of dueling."
The Paladins responded:
"This rain can wash the dirt from your body, but it can not wash the stain from your soul. A storm is mere water; I offer a tempest of blood. Lay down your weapons and submit to a sharp-edged baptism. Mitra will decide if you are worthy of redemption."
To be clear, I'm making no claim that either of the challenges is particularly good. I'm just asking -- which is better? Who wins the pre-battle contest of intimidation and, by extension, initiative?
