What if the message is unclear, or they're told they broke some rule that 
isn't written down somewhere they can find? There's plenty of reasons you 
might want clarification. As for any changes, well, that's what this thread 
is about, isn't it?

Well, for a start, because of fairness. Any argument that the original 
reporter doesn't get a chance to argue is foolish in and of itself. Yiou 
didn't include the right details in your original report? Tough, it warns 
you on the titan page that you only get one shot. Allowing for a defence 
isn't the same thing - that's just asking for equality.

It's a pity that in a game as well developed and well thought out in BM, we 
have a titan system that has many more peple thinking it leaves much to be 
desired.
