But that's the entire problem behind this issue.
We're giving a judge the power to say that Ichirou lost an IC match, just because he performed a retreat that wasn't against the rules. Not all judge rulings are fair in their judgement. I was given a ruling that I had to become character-controlled by my opponent, and was coerced into having to accept it or be stripped. It can't be dealt with since it's an old issue, but I will make sure that this issue is properly addressed and dealt with.
Side note about fleeing in general.
Just like attacking on an entrance post is bad form, so is leaving successfully from an RP battle in one post.
It prevents anyone from doing a thing to stop you.
So...if fleeing from a bijuu match, with a set number of posts is going to be a thing. They should make sure to do it well before their last post.
Hiraishin was always been the strange conundrum about this. It's not something that has to be set-up in any of the postings of the current RP, because it contains the possibility of being already set-up well before any RP session.
Heck, Hiraishin has always been used as a means of escape for any attack, and nobody has had any real quells about this until now.
But if you guys really want to know where he Hiraishin'd to, it was to me. One of his already-established Hiraishin markings was on a pool ball that I usually carry around in my coat pocket. I was asked to review his post before he made it, and I said that it looked fine since no rules were being broken. I did know it would cause some controversy, but Hiraishin has always rustled people's jimmies. And you guys only continue to allow that to happen, since there's no real rules about using Hiraishin established anywhere.
Lots of you Hiraishin kids are able to do this at any time, and I'm sure plenty of you have done this. But when it happens to you, well now it becomes a community issue, doesn't it? At least my pseudo-Hiraishin has a very limited distance that can easily be closed.
