[quote=@Guru] NEW USERS: DO NOT READ THIS T.T I don't want to confuse you guys. And it's not necessary to know this right now. I mean... you guys are kind of asking the wrong questions. It's all T1. And Eden Era is kind of... normal. When you say the battle is T1, you basically state that it is paragraph form textual combat focusing on heavy description. The difference is really in the latter phrase. This is as opposed to t2 or other variants which are more chat room oriented. However, there's not really a person on here who uses any other form of t1. Eh. This is hard to explain. The other forms usually involve word counts. There is another style that you must address all your abilities and weapons in your first post or you can't use them. Among other various strange rules. So.. asking if it's t1 or t1 Eden era, is kind of like asking if I'm Irish or of I'm an Irish Bastard. The real answer is... both. And it's a weird question to ask when... we all use the same rulings... all the time. Maybe with slight variations. The only other explanation I can think of is, perhaps the forgoing of prep attacks. Some t1 rule variants do forgo preps [/quote] I'm obviously not an RPGuild arena vet, but I can in fact state that RPGuild's particular variant of T1, to the eyes of those who grew up on other sites, is almost [i]psychotically[/i] focused on preps. Never before have I seen a website where six turns of build-up is required before you can punch someone in the face :P When I hear 'Eden Era', I think of the slower-paced, prep-heavy fights 'round here, while 'T1' is basically just the overall Open format I'm familiar with. [@Tasuke] Don't sweat the details. There's no real formally defined difference between T1 and T1EE, or any other sub-classification of T1 I or anyone I know has ever seen around the net. It's all the same fundamental core skillset, and this particular tournament is specifically designed to show new folks the ropes so getting subtle nuances off isn't going to count against you. Or shouldn't, anyways. Learn RPGuild's T1EE and you should know the overall etiquette for most anywhere that's advanced enough for the term 'T1' to have any meaning in the first place.
