Regarding Ryuko's use of Hydra Sage to grant the standard Sage Mode buffs is considered false. Staff has concluded that this line:
Does not justify the addition of the 5 UQ tiers commonly associated with Sage Mode. Abilities in registered technique, items, restricted, and so on need to be CLEARLY STATED in the body of the registration. Abilities should never be assumed, and given the current writeup of Ryuko's ES the balance suggests this was done intentionally.
Regarding Ryuko's attempt of 48 hring Raijin has been ruled illegal. Vizer called for conflict regarding Ryuko's improper use of her SM ability. There was no agreement to move the thread forward and thus all combatants should have been locked until a staff ruling was completed. Members are not allowed to 48 hour their opponent during conflict/resolution.
Upon further investigation in this case staff has unanimously decided that Ryuko's reasoning for adding the 5 UQ tier buffs was with ill-intent. Ryuko has previously stated through a DM with her opponent that her Enhanced State does not grant the standard SM buffs. This can be seen in the screenshot below:
Ryuko later added the boosts in her latest ToW post which caused conflict from Vizer and requested an edit. Ryuko failed to communicate with Vizer regarding the error he found in her post and proceeded to attempt a 48 hour. This shows incredibly bad sportsmanship on Ryuko's end. Ryuko willingly modified an approved technique mid-fight to benefit her role in the ToW thread.
As per site rules:
Staff has deemed Ryuko's actions against Vizer in poor tastes and will be enforcing this rule as part of a package:
1.) Ryuko will automatically fail her ToW. Raijin's next post will be deemed successful and Ryuko will then be considered unconscious. Ryuko will lose any experienced gained in her active ToW.
2.) Ryuko will have both her Res Tech and Entity forcefully removed. The final attack in the ToW landed by Raijin will wipe her Res Tech and Entity from her character.
3.) The rewards of this particular ToW Mission will be granted to Raijin
IN ADDITION
Staff would like to extend a formal apology to Vizer given our poor lapse of judgement regarding Satomi's death by Ryuko's alternative character, Alkaid. Staff gave Ryuko the benefit of the doubt, however, given the current circumstances we believe Ryuko has targeted Vizer as a member maliciously and thus as part of a reparations package, Vizer will be able to claim sparing experience for Ryuko in the ToW battle (1,800 experience.) This experience counts as total and spendable experience, which may be given to any of his current characters.
Ryuko's alternative character, Alkaid Kaguya, will be revoked the privilege of spawning outside of Konohagakure if this character is every removed from storage. Instead Alkaid Kaguya will continue from her last known location, which is currently in the custody of Mockingbird.
Ruling Amendment as of July 2021: When it comes to modding conflicts based on Restricteds staff reserves the right to evaluate custom Restricteds in light of how canon Restricteds operate. For example, if someone uses a custom Sage Mode, Staff reserves the right to look at the canon Sage Mode write-up to help resolve ambiguities or gaps in what is written.
, granting the full abilities of Sage Mode and changing only the area around the eyes with markings that make it seem the wielder is weeping purple tears.
