Hit Call Rule Edit

In the General Help Desk Discord we have discussed a potential edit to the current hit call rule which we believes takes a lot of the burden off the Caller in a conflict while making the Defender less invulnerable during fight threads. Here is the current rundown:

-Conflict Res can be called anytime during a fight
-The caller has to express their case to the defender and tell them why they should edit, resulting in a 48 hr extension for editing purposes.
-The caller has to tell the defender to edit at least once, but can be as many times as they desire as long as everyone in the thread consents.
-The defender can compromise/edit, or take it up to staff
-If staff agrees with the caller, the hit goes thru
-If staff agrees with the defender, combat resumes as normal

Consistently making bad calls in a fight can result in a penalty deemed by staff. Bad calls are defined by illogical arguments and otherwise abuse of the system.

So what changed?

The biggest change occurs when a conflict arises to staff. In the event that the Caller wins an argument, their attack(s) connect instead of the process going back to the Editing phase. This encourages players in a combat thread to compromise and argue their points among themselves instead of running to staff for assistance every time.

Another improvement with these new rules is that the Caller is only required to tell their opponent to edit one time per conflict. This prevents the Caller from being forced to path-find the best route for their opponent. The Caller may choose to ask for further edits as long as all topic participants agree, but again is only required to ask for edits once. After the first edit attempt if the Caller is not satisfied, the conflict may immediately move to Staff.

yes I agree to this

This can be extremely abused, an opponent purposefully does a post they know they will be asked to edit, afterward they keep doing over the top stuff without consequence because you can't ask for edits.

You realize that if someone does something dumb and they have lost their single chance to edit, then you can just call the hit on them right? That's a pretty serious consequence. Even in the case of them doing it every single round, that's just them playing with fire and asking to get killed if they mess up. The current system is far more annoying than this new one, as in the current system you can just infinitely edit your post as many times as required to reach an outcome where your character isn't hit, so long as it is logically possible. If you mean this in the case of a social thread, you cant really force people to edit in those anyways unless it involves some form of combat, so I'm confused at what sort of abuse you're thinking is possible under these rules.

Limit it to one edit and if they mess up award sparring xp to the hit caller regardless of IC fight outcome. After 3 edits on the 4th for the same post the editor loses a sparing amount of xp equal to their rank.

People are rewarded for others not comprehending after being explained to ooc even. And if abused you lose xp.

No need to go for kill or maiming if this is the case as most people will go for extra edits to get that XP.

Problem solved? Sorry I'm not eloquent I'm on my phone.

To add on you could be like or 6 edits in 2 post, 8 in 3, etc and be flexible with it.
