You're assuming I'm breaking rules, whereas I'm saying the rules don't accurately assess every single situation, and must be applied specifically. Your inability to work with me on finding even ground for how the rules apply to these runes isn't my issue, yet you're making it my issue. I never broke a rule, but if it keeps your pride in tact, and your point score from mar, convince yourself I did. I know the truth. The most recent among your arguments can honestly be broken down in to the idea that I shouldn't be allowed 1 prep per turn, but instead I should be forced in to a situation where I can only really use 1 per 2 turns. Again it's absurd to think someone can't focus on two things at once; two 'preps' sure, because that abbreviation seems to have an entirely unique structure and etiquette, it's not 'focus,' or 'only one rune,' or anything to do with 'time,' it's seemingly the 'most prominent attack or defense in a post.' Let's say Myron is readying a rune, and this one counts as a prep, but he isn't using it against you yet. That's 1 turn, 1 prep. It may as well complete on that turn, I shouldn't have to argue that. You post next, trying to obstruct that rune. I did mention that if you successfully ruined the rune, that's that. So you post next, and now I have another turn to react to your attack, so I'm allowed an entire extra prep on that turn, if Myron noticed your attack in time. This is completely coherent with your rules. So what do you want? For his prior rune to be void for no reason? For the ink to suddenly disappear, for no reason? Give me a reason, a good one, and I'll consider it... but if it's just 'well the rules say,' well the rules don't say that ink disappears, does it? No! Right now you're just calling me desperate, but I'm not the one running away, any scratch marks you feel are probably just injuries your pride has sustained over the course of our debate.
