Editing Cycle 16/Ruleset (section)

=== Exoptotic Battle ===
Each instance of an Exoptosis creates a Pool and a Pile for itself, as well as a Deck and a Hand for each participating player.

During a Rest Phase, a player may state their intention to engage in Battle in the next phase by posting a signifying message to the #battle-commencement channel. They may only do so if they have at least 4 cards in their inventory. At this time, a duplicate of all the cards in their inventory is made into their deck for that upcoming Battle. When declaring their intent to battle, the player must select a ''minimum'' of 4 cards from their deck. These cards must be revealed before the commencement of the battle and are removed from their deck to be added to their hand.

If 24 hours have elapsed since the commencement of a Battle phase, the battle proceeds with only those players which have signified that they have selected their hand. If such a notice is given falsely or without revealing a valid hand, the offending player does not participate in the battle.

In this game, if 24h elapses from the commencement of a player's turn without them acting, they immediately forfeit.
