The only exception to where the one being challenged can void it and it not be a DRA is if the challenger doesn't respond or put up any effort in order to complete their match. If it would be voided by the one whom is being challenged when the challenger actively attempts to do match, that would be a forfeit. So in any other case, it would be the same as a DRA in which it is counted as a loss. All I'm saying is that AFTER the challenge was formally voided, ANYONE had a chance to challenge. To void something is to pretty much act like it never happened. So it was as if neither of us were currently in challenge. I say if you're more active and see a chance to seize an opportunity, you have every right to and it's the other person's fault for not being as active. Pre-challenging just isn't fair for anyone and that's what this case is. Anything said otherwise would just be biased. Ethically and logically, this is what makes sense.
i can see jsp_homeboys point of view tho as well. LOLragezz mistakenly put it as dra, swanow granted a 1 night extension, that one night extension was essentially over (12:55am) and the duel wasnt going to take place, so that means the challenge is being voided. he anticipated the decision in the matter, which was a correct one
pre challenging is when you say "challenging the winner of a and b" or "challenging the loser of a and b" when u challenge someone thats not in a challenge, then theres no real pre-challenge being performed. if you are in a challenge with someone and the person above you two is not in a challenge, you cannot say "i challenge X after my duel" because if u lose then you are not allowed to challenge, and if u win, then u can challenge immediately after ur duel before anyone else knows/has a chance to challenge, so there would be no point to doing that. a void is a diff situation and is thus treated as such.
unless another mediator in here has a diff opinion i think we should just let this one go and next time hopefully the duel can happen or things can go more smoothly.
