Alright, so the main question is, what about the main rules can be modified in our special rules location? I've recently made a major edit to mine which includes times regarding challenges. Reviewing after (not before) the fact that the main rules already had a 3 month cooldown, I ponder on whether I can circumvent that and allow people to challenge earlier if certain stiuplations are met (such as draws) or even if I am allowed to make alterations to that at all.
The yes argument would draw on:
ºRulesº
Like any other zone fight, rules are established as support for completing the quarrel without need for troubles to arise. Those basic rules are also adopted into host-challenges. The rules are as follows [unless agreed upon both parties (with proof) to be something otherwise]
The no argument would point out that this is for the actual conduct during the fight, not the overarching rules in general. As with federalism, I assume that one set of rules would supercede the other if there is a clash. While I again would pressume that the main rules would win out, I still ask the above question in case the above quote actually did mean the overall official rules.
The only issue with the latter unrestricted is that means people can kind of make up their own rules as they go. Seeing as I'm one of the few actually having biju fights here on the forum (*Others do have challengers, but since many of those fights happen off-forum, it is kind of hard to pinpoint what is going on there, and presumably they have not had any grievious questions of this sort) , the context for bringing this up would be my recent battle with Ichirou (which, btw, has lasted longer post-count wise than any other zone fight I've been in in recent months if not years). I added the new special conditions as a direct response to the nature of that fight (nothing personal Ichirou, but I'm not eager to repeat that experience once a week without having some kind of guidelines in place).
So, back to my original question, can I alter the main rules with special conditions, or is that an illegal move?
