Eric, isn't it your post in Ame? >> I love you, endlessly, as you know. But please don't bring the same questions that get all the other topics locked to mine...
I am trying to specifically avoid these types of debates.
Oh really? Thanks for letting me know.
The same questions that got yours locked? Well then Athos, what are you trying to get answered? "Why won't you fight him?" was a posed question when things got heated. "Why should Kiri be given the beast back when they don't even deserve it" turned the dial too.
I am not interested in starting a fire nor getting more involved than I feel I need to regarding the beasts that I choose to void, but bro, from the topic title to the OP, I just can't figure out what you guys don't get about rules.
The old rules are still in play until they are fixed, amended, and approved by whoever. "Anarchy" and "I won't acknowledge any rules no matter what amendments and will not try to make them better" are "unacknowledge me as host plz" kind of words. As such, you can't just cherry-pick what's left of the old rules, especially since the only consensus to not give the beast back to Kiri will likely come from the caucus either directly supporting Yujo or so fed up with the "Kiri issue" that it seems the only sensible solution.
Some hosts have a tendency to make the IC hunt portion of their IC challenge incredibly difficult in order to keep from having to fight certain types for the beast. And in this state where your two parties can't even agree on what grounds you're arguing (with the old rules or with no rules in place at all) you are unlikely to come to an agreement regarding a strip issue. But all you want are answers given to your questions, which if it were purely for the reasons of just knowing (and not having some hope of accomplishing something more) you could have just sent PM's and called it an evening.
