[quote=@Divinity] So what I'm understanding is that there are little to no rules actually being enforced here? I naturally assumed T1 Eden was the [b]default[/b] ruleset, which is why I Continually quoted it since we hadn't established one of our own. Merely stating other places interpreted the rules in different ways doesn't strike me as a really convincing defense for not having any way of restricting actions. You say his actions don't 'neccessarily' constitute preps, but I can't find any conceivable reason why not if we are following the 'prep as many things as you want' logic. Do preps also not take a turn to mature, too? I have no way of knowing until it comes up. If T1 Eden wasn't at all factored in your decision from earlier, then I am very boggled by whatever system is actually in place for yor judging. I'm not really sure how I feel about continuing on a basis that allows for simultaneous prepping with little to no recourse. I have not been abiding by whatever system you two clearly have worked out, and to be honest, it is leading to a serious case of combat apathy. If we are supposed to be continuing under incredibly nebulous, vague rules (or lack thereof), then I will be backing out of this fight. I will post an 'exit post' for Crystal/Corban, since I hate leaving fights as voids. Edit: Regardless of what happens, I thoroughly enjoyed myself despite the hiccups! [/quote] It is on you two for establishing incredibly poor fight parameters when you started, and frankly, if we wanted to be super strict about everything, a lot of stuff both of you had done probably wouldn't have flown under original Eden Era rules (I'd have to honestly reread in close detail). Additionally, even they did not necessarily discount the possibility of multiple preps depending on the character (it was the generally accepted principle for most characters, especially at lower tiers). It was done both with the original Eden Era rulests on both the forums they originated on AND on the chat rooms that had a lot do with shaping them. I'm not even saying we need to deviate from those rules, I'm just saying a super strict interpretation of them isn't acceptable. Seriously, chill. Everyone's been treated equally and there hasn't really been any major violations that hadn't been in scope of the fight FROM BOTH OF YOUR CHARACTERS. I'm also not saying you can prep as much as you like (FYI lines like this kind of irk me). What Daz was describing was spells that were basically 'instant cast' which BOTH OF YOU HAVE DONE. And actually, you worked out the damage from earlier with Melon using them. I just agreed from a strictly logical standpoint, independent of the Eden Era rules, you would have taken damage.
