After a bit of discussion, a decision has been reached concerning time-outs in the ACC. This is the new policy concerning battles, regardless of length:

• Time-Outs with no posts, save the intro (i.e. no combatant’s posted): Deletion

• Time-Outs with 1 post, in addition to the intro (i.e. one combatant posted): Deletion*

-- *If the effort of the single post is above-average; i.e. great level of detail, virtually flawless in grammar, realism and continuity – basically an ‘excellent’ first post – you “may” rate it in favor of that combatant.

• Time-Outs with 2+ posts, in addition to the intro (i.e. each combatant posted, at least, once): Rated in favor of the last to post – as normal

• Training and Qualification are still not included and will still be handled as normal. That is, time-outs will continue to be time-outs regardless of how many posts have been made, if any.

Thanks for your time
