[quote=@Divinity] I have fought many places that used the Eden ruleset, spanning from Yahoo Chat, to Roleplaygateway, and I specifically recall a single prep a turn being the accepted norm. I am not arguing that dazsos' actions are multi-prepped anymore, as I have said already. I am arguing [b]allowing multiple preps being allowed for the rest of the matches duration in a single post.[/B] I figured it was safe to adopt the standard ruleset here, since in my experience default ruleset are there specifically for scenarios like these, in which the combatants have agreed upon no specific ruleset prior. I thought that would hold up here, rather than assuming the fight starts with literally no rules. [/quote] Accepted norms are not applicable in every case. Yahoo chat is where I originated and at higher tier combat there were obvious exceptions to the multiple preps rule as application is highly dependent on the characters involved, especially when you get into characters with fully developed reality shaping abilities or even characters in tiers lower than that power with multiple consciousnesses (or something similar). This is why I am saying you are wrong on that front. You both may choose to consider how much you potentially fall into this category, if at all. [b]You two have to agree how you want me to apply them and I suggest you outline anything else before either of you makes an another post.[/b] While I may not have been clear initially, I would disagree with the strict enforcement at this tier and would expect you and Daz to make concessions if you disagreed on what is being applied and how. You are the combatants and need to establish the parameters or you just have to trust my judgment. However, there are literally no rules because neither of you two established them. Much of the modern deviations from Eden Era are extrapolations of the rules and common sense on how they are applicable. In the event of no stated rules you'd rely on the expectation those in the officiating position to enforce what is not described equally. Yes, the basis for these generally accepted practices is Eden Era as it is the general basis for most combat. If I have come across as harsh, I apologize, but I absolutely hate recitations of Eden Era rules with seeming absolutes.
