Divinity Vs Dazsos!

Telling me that I can do something does not make that something fair if the opponent has already been doing that something. I'll repeat it again, that I and Melon expounded on exactly why even if Corban could multiprep, he'd still be at a distinct disadvantage currently.

But regardless, my decision remains what it is. Forfeiture.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

This all sounds good on paper until it is applied to the reality of the situation that to make multi-prepping a rule this late in the game would without a doubt put my character at a distinct disadvantage, which both I and Melon expounded upon earlier.

Again, if that is the rule this would be operating under, then I'll gladly suffer a forfeit loss.

@Dazsos Again with the strawmen. I have never insulted the judge. I said 'proper', as in decided from the start alongside a set of rules. None of this has been proper since the beginning.

@Innue
-I tried this, you see where it got us.
-I would take this option if I actually knew what reasoning, system, or structure was going into it, provided i fin them fair. What are the laws governing preps?
-I've offered this option as well. Dazsos' pride will not allow him to call it a draw, since he is so certain he could defeat me.
-This is probably the only option available that allows things to end at least somewhat amicably. I personally don't care for Dazsos, or this fight enough to continue against my better judgment. The win is his if he wants it.

My only concern in any of this, is how Myron's character had an 'advantage'. The damage dealt was only more so because of shoddy rule placement. Following the logic present when I took damage from your attack, you too would have been forced to take more damage from my railgun. This is all incredibly subjective at the end of the day. I say a draw be settled and we continue this in another match at a later date with proper rules, judges, and what have you if you're still feeling froggy. This is my final word in the topic. Whatever Rilla decides I'm cool with.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

Yes, because I've been chastising you this whole time and throwing tantrums when I don't get my way. I've been the one complaining about every post after the last like the highest payed whistle blower ever lol. It's laughable.

I have no desire to continue this charade. This is my final word on the subject.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

Now we come to this; 'oh well Daz is trying to multiprep, he's a douche for that.' Well not really, you still didn't agree or disagree on how my runes & idioms may or may not count as preps whatsoever. You said he can create multiple runes, so berating me for counting 1 as a prep on one turn, and another as a prep the next turn, surely means you've entrapped me in to this idea. "Well he started creating both on the first turn!" Well that's because he has to, his spells take longer to finalize than his opponent's, and he's literally forced in to choosing between those two runes in the end. Obviously on that first turn he'd only be able to properly utilize one rune, one prep. I never said two preps would flourish on one turn, which was the original fit had. And the only line of the rulebook used against me was 'hey, don't use two preps in one turn.' Okay, I didn't, you're welcome. So what's the big deal? Oh, you don't like how I'm not bending over for you? Need someone to blame? Someone to put the entire fault of this mess upon? Alright guys, I'll be your man... shit, I'm totally used to that, actually! Practically half the people I know can't handle being responsible for messes they're partly to blame for. I just happen to be an excellent mop, thank you for choosing me!

@Dazsos

You're a mop, alright. A mop indeed.

I cannot honestly explain how many things were said that were so blatantly false.... again.

We did not only say that you couldn't multiprep. We also said you had to abide by T1E, which does not allow for fully counting an unprepared action as a prep on the fly, while still maintaining the traded prep as a half-prep. Do you even use your brain when you build these desparation arguments? Its an incredibly powerful, tool you know? It's free, too!

*claps slowly*. Oh of course, there it is! We're upset because you're not 'bending over for us'? Yeah, because Melon has a stake in this for him to even want you to submit. Yeah. That makes sense. Go ahead, keep victimizing yourself as though the 'system' is out to get you. It's a weak arguing point to take.

And your teacher argument? Just as easy to punch through as every other argument. A teacher can try everthing in the world to be helpful, but at some point it falls on the child to be able to receive that help. The student needs to maybe.... pay some damn attention and his grades might improve? But not, god forbid the kid have to do work, right?! God forbid it falls to the children to sit down, shut up, and actually absorb the lesson from the teacher. The teacher doesn't suck, the student is just a spoiled idiot.

Your final comment is the most hilarious of them all. We dont Take responsibility for a problem we caused, huh? Oh my... for your credibilites sake, I really hope no one scrolls back and reads anything you've said, ever. I hope no one watches you redirecting a finger of blame literally every time your lack of reading comprehension leads us into another vicious circle(because remember how were not helpful, yet answered every question you used as a defense in that flimsy argument?). You have done nothing but been the antithesis to every argument youve presented. This entire time you have done nothing but backdate and prorate.

So yes, please continue this travesty of a debate. Please erect some other flimsy, self defeating argument like you have done literally every time since this thing started.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

I'd take a hard introspective look and reevaluate my reading comprehension skills before I'd say something as blatantly false as 'you two weren't helpful'. We could have written it in menstrual blood on pearl walls and it still wouldnt have been clear to you. Using my vague profile again, that you consistently misquoted earlier, is surely as vague as a rule set that literally spells this stuff out. Clearly.

We have said I don't know how many times that 'charging' is another word that can be used in place of prepping, and we already said an equal number of times that mechanically, all a charge is is a technique gaining power. What is there not to get? How can the runes not charge? Because of some flimsy pretense that your character doesn't 'power' his runes up? Why not just.... alter that, then? Talk about neglecting the most basic concessions.

The problem is that you selectively listen to information. You are still making prepping a purely IC mechanic, when it functions more as an OOC balancing mechanic, which weve also said at least 3 times.

How and why would you require an example for 'which of your runes counts as a prep"? What is difficult about that? It's up to you which rune you'd like to prep. How dows the fault of this clear lack in comprehension from you get placed on us? Why would or should we need, or be expected to tell you what and how to prep?

As for my 'high and mighty' demeanor, I'd also suggest you not apply your limitations to me. I have an ego the size of which could contend with the largest of them, make no mistake! But rp fighting, and this fight in particular, is not some lion chested declaration of auperiority. I've been fighting regularly since the early 200's. My days of doing this for bragging rights are long over. I'm just self sure and committed in my decisions and follow-throughs. Nor was this at all to prove t1E's usefulness. Where are you even pulling these straw men from? It was to structure this fight. Something you refuse to do. Also, good job associating the rules with how they're spelled, because that's definitely what dictates it.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

I have explained my reasoning several times to you and have tried to work wth you for more than long enough. I have held the superior bargaining position on this matter and your goading on will change nothing. I am more than willing to sustain a Mar on my record from something like a forfeit. It's roleplay. So your tantrum is laughable at best. I feel no 'scratches' and my pride is in perfect tact. There is no reason it shouldn't be, considering how this argument has went.

You trying to falsely paint me in the way that you are reveals far more damaging evidence of your insecurity and pride than mine.

Nor is your argument based on what I'm saying.... again. I guess we can put Strawman right next to Reductio ad Absurdum on your resume you've amassed thus far. I never said your 'deprepped' rune would disappear. Ever. I said it's prep as a game mechanical gauge for power would disappear. Your rune would still exist, but unless you started over the prepping process, it would only count as a quickdraw.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

It being one of the first games means nothing if it remains the same and still survives as a series. The point was that progress was restarted. Even if the 'doors remain unlocked', one would still have to do the footwork back to them.

You also repeated the exact rule you're trying to circumvent. 1 prep a turn means you can only ever amass or focus on a single thing per turn. To be able to leave your prep half-cooked still is a tricky workaround that I'm not comfortable with. I find it quite funny, actually, that you put words in my mouth and then build counter arguments to those invisible assertions. I never implied 'rules' are the only way to legitimately earn damage. I implied they are needed to maintain structure. I only ask we abide by the general rules of the style were playing. You are the one arguing from a corner, fighting tooth and nail to work around the rules that you already agreed to. I already voiced that if we aren't doing T1E then I have no desire to continue. It was your urging that compelled me to keep at this, but if you are no longer interested then paint us the same color.

I suppose we will wait for @Rilla to decide if this should count as ranked or not. Regardless, Corban forfeits!
