We can discuss how it worked, and history, in the chat thread and let these two sort out what precisely is being prepped and how they wish for me to enforce it. :)

Based on the discussion between them a determination of whether or not it stays ranked can follow. And honestly, there still seems some confusion from Dazsos in the application of preps in Eden Era. You two can outline which spell are currently in process for me and, for Dazsos, which ones are being prepped. Maturation of an ability isn't necessarily a prep either.

Many of the ranked fights don't go into great detail on the specifics and leave much to the judge to apply the rulings. They asked me to judge prior to the fight starting via PM so I assumed they had decided anything not specifically outlined would be left to my judgment. This isn't uncommon on here for a number of the fights which don't specifically outline any of the rulesets being used or any more detail than what they did.

They both read each others bios, so I assumed they were aware of any vagueness and were fine with it. Some people like to fight with high adaptability and who am I to stop them?

EDIT: It all depended on who you fought Divinity, which is also why I don't go with assuming rules anywhere ever. I did a lot of room wandering. I initially started with T2 since that is what my friend who got me started did but I was like the worst speed poster ever. I then switch to T1 and wandered rooms a fair amount. The only consistent group I did was one of the super competitive deathmatch circles (which I don't recall anything else name wise) and one of the groups with a fellow named Val (I could never spell the entirety of his name correctly so I shortened it and have since forgotten the remaining letters in it) who did a lot with characters that applied aspects of the Many Worlds Intepretation. 

It's been many years since I did Yahoo and many of who had notoriety at the time shifted a bit. I do remember those names, but I don't think I specifically fought either of them. I promptly got my ass kicked in my first combat there and sort of learned to restrain myself after that knowing I had to learn a lot more before I continued. I transitioned out of Yahoo in the mid 2000s and went exclusively to forum for roleplaying and only popped in occasionally after that.
