Well, the nature of an IC challenger would mean that the fight is completely IC, so they couldn't have concurrent RP going on at the same time. Now, when we were doing RP biju fights, it was clear that just up and killing the host was neither appropriate nor reasonable. I imagine with an IC fight the principle would be the same, since killing the host would also kill the tailed beast in most situations.
Conversely, killing the tailed beast while it is being used as a summon (unlikely, but I'm just putting that thought out there) should certainly not be encouraged. Heck, with the summon, it would be encouraged to steal the beast rather than kill it.
Just because the tailed beast respawns does not necessarily mean it is entirely out of the challenger's control. A GM simply has to control the revived tailed beast during the duration of the fight that ensues. Challengers should not be at full liberty to knock off hosts left and right in an IC fight in my opinion. Everything goes in OOC fights.
Accordingly, with this stipulation, the challenger should have the option to retreat from an IC fight without dying. In other words, if he/she sees that he/she is on the losing end of the spectrum, if he/she can successfully retreat from the battle, then it is considered forfeit and he/she escapes with his/her life.
It is my assertion the bijuu should be stripped from Dart for refusal to accept a challenge.
Since Kotetsu was made to accept Yuijo's challenge, even though he was harassing him quite scathingly during his grace period, I feel that this is a president for having to put up with people who annoy you if you are a host. In the end as he was unwilling to put up with the harassment, he had to give the bijuu away.
this should also be Dart's fate because fair is fair.
If you cannot deal with the drama then you should not have the perk.
It's "precedent".
And has Dart continued to refuse the challenge? Yes, the rules regarding that now are "no means strip poker" but since that issue started up before the change, I would imagine he would have another chance to accept the fight before being stripped. If he continues to refuse, then so be it.
I mean the way to get a host without killing them is to seal them of course, but as far as Challenge list goes, it's a pain in the ass for a challenger to have to wait an extended period of time (which is often the case) and then they get their fight and just because they kill the host the Biju spawns somewhere random out of their control? I don't like it. I think if the Biju are going to respawn then the challenge list should be scrapped.
Though I also want to put the two cents in that I prefer the challenge system
What does biju respawning have to do with the challenger list? The challenger list is for the benefit of the challenger and host, so that they know where in line challengers were at and "proof" that those challengers are indeed in line to begin with. In an IC fight, it would make sense that killing the host would be discouraged because death of the host would result in the death of the tailed beast in an IC fight. Hosts, IC-wise, would die regardless of whether they are killed in battle or have their beast removed (unless there are special conditions met).
