That actually is continuing the argument! That's like me saying. "I don't mean to insult you, but you nit-pick like a hungry monkey." Well, I probably did mean to insult you by saying that, although in a comical form. (The monkey thing kinda' applies to me, too! Whew, glad I made this joke before someone could use it against me! Muahaha!) Personally I'd forgo the first part, and cut straight to the jab, assuming you can give and take a good mocking. I get half my kicks out of being mocked, myself, so feel free to have at me! 'Every little detail' was an obvious exaggeration. Back to the important stuff... Judge intervention wasn't mandatory from the get go, because me and Divinity were able to settle most of our issues without Innue... only when we absolutely needed him, did we call for a judgment. And his judgment, I assume, would count as the rules. I did ask him right off the bat to be our judge, and I spoke with Divinity about that as well. There was order and preparation beyond what you've been able to see, much of it was done through private messages. It was a unanimous decision to swap from one power tier level to the next, so that shouldn't really effect anything. Only after you butted in to the debates we had, did things go further south. I wasn't disagreeing, or unwilling to work with T1EA until you made it clear that my character would suffer from using it... I was very intent on finding middle-ground, however, which spanned that huge debate. T1EA might need some tweaking in the future, I didn't enforce the idea of using a 'special version' of the ruleset, although it may have been hinted, I was mainly attempting to find a way for my character to work with it, without detriment to his sheet. By no means do I think that, because I tried to find middleground to use your rules, (which created their own problems) that my fight was in vain. If just arguing too much is a good reason to deny someone a win or loss, I'm sure you wouldn't have such a pretty looking score. By those very rules which I was trying to flesh out with you two, Myron was able to dish out more damage than he ever took throughout the battle. I'm at an advantage IC, that's why I see this as a win if continued IC.
