I'm only gonna say this once in this thread.
NO OOC. Not to explain something, not to ask a question, not at all. Once you choose an attack, and choose a wiling battle partner, you are in battle mode, and no outsiders may intervene until it's over, which should take only about a page.
I'm not saying you HAVE done it here, but you are the most likely to post OOC in a thread where OOC is strictly forbidden. Don't take it as an insult, take it as a precaution to prevent getting your posts deleted.
And don't respond to this post, unless it's to battle a willing partner.
