Alright, I really should have done this a long time ago. As a staff member, I am officially stepping in to say that everyone should just cut it out with this charade.
When these debates started out, there were some legitimate questions raised that I'm grateful were cleared up. However, at this point, the discussion has turned into petty squabbles that are not only fruitless, but are actively harming the mood within the community. Questions are fine and there is no such thing as a stupid question, but let us not forget the fact that we're all ultimately here to relax and have some fun. If it gets to the point when organising IC events becomes annoying, tedious and more trouble than it's worth, then we've clearly lost sight of our priorities.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the fight, please contact the judge(s). The whole reason why fights have judges is so that they can act as arbiters and the ultimate authority regarding the circumstances and results of the fight. Ultimately, it is they who decide who gets to participate or who doesn't. Likewise, it is also they who decide whether or not any previous damage or depleted SP comes into play in this one. All the participants have to do is apply and come to an agreement regarding the rules of the fight and who the judge(s) is/are. The judge(s) will take care of the rest.
Any further petty arguments from this point forward will be met with disciplinary action and disqualification from the fight. I understand that this event is a big deal and we all want it to play out fairly, but let us not get caught up in trivialities. Ultimately, I think we all want the Omniverse to remain a pleasant place to be in. We should all contribute towards that, even if it means sometimes having to just roll with the punches.
