I don't want to be that guy, but does anyone even still have a copy of the fight? Uneditted version preferred, but meh.
Without posting a copy of the fight, at this point, it's a "he said" "She said" "They did this" kind of fight going on here. I don't see how anyone not involved is supposed to even weigh their opinion in on this without something more concrete than what has been given.
I'll verify my position in this:
I was accepted as a judge by the two parties, Honō and Sabumaru. The way I judge is in collecting arguments from both sides, making a decision, and then explaining the decision in detail; each party is allowed a rebuttal of their own. After that, I'll give the final judgment.
I did come to a decision: namely, that Sabumaru's evasion seemed legitimate, but that if he were to be hit by the lightning it would indeed prove catastrophic.
Allowing a rebuttal after you make a decision seems to only be adding to the issues that we have here. By your own words, you never got the chance to make a final decision because Sab closed up shop, despite his apparent victory in the argument to begin with (As a result of OOC god-modding?). Hono should have brought this up nearly a month ago instead of waiting so damn long so that the fight specs could be reviewed while they were still fresh on the board.
Either way, Dark was leaning towards Sabu's favor. Hono was in the middle of trying to convince him otherwise when Sabu dropped the topic. The judge was then for all intensive purposes dismissed, the void in general being considered the solution to the problem.
Now, here we are nearly a month later, and apparently, that void was NOT the solution to the problem, and that Dark should have went ahead and given a final decision anyways.
But Kageri, being the ninja that she is, made an interesting point. The fight was voided, according to accounts on here, because Hono refused to allow access to his clan halls in order for reinforcements of the Akatsuki to arrive when they had reason and means to arrive, regardless of barriers in place (or so the story goes). In short, even if Sabu would have dodged said attack, he still would have had to deal with, most likely, the entire village unless he escaped via other means, which would have led to more rounds of fighting in the zone.
Long story short, Hono closing off the clan halls to Akatsuki members in order to prevent them from entering the RP that they had an IC means to enter is why Sabu voided the fight, according to reports here on the forum. Why Hono let Sabu in even is a mystery to me, but I digress on that.
