The Arcadion abbreviations - R vs M

2. It fits the wrestling theme, Round 1, R1, etc

That's boxing. Rounds are against the same opponent. We fight different *matches*, all of which are just one round.

Depends on the type British wrestling and over Europe is 6 rounds.

British wrestling matches held under Admiral-Lord Mountevans rules (and similar systems across Europe) consist of a series of rounds – typically six rounds each lasting three minutes or until a fall or submission is scored, with a thirty-second break between each round and can either be two-out-of-three falls, one fall to a finish (mostly for low-priority warmup matches) or the wrestler with the most falls wins at the end of the final round.

In singles matches which consisted of six three-minute rounds, with a thirty second break between each round, could either be 2-Out-of-3 Falls or the wrestler with the most falls wins at the end of the final round

These are still against the same opponent(s).

I think M is weird long term, but since it's already there in the name, I think it makes things easier...but I wonder if there is a possibility that they call the next tier "AAC Cruiserweight M1-4" and "AAC Heavyweight M1-4" instead of going for 5-8 and 9-12.
That would be awkward.

R for roids?

[Raim]

How is that a discrepancy? We call Coils Turn 5, 6, 7, etc despite them resetting into new tiers. Just learn how to count to 12 lmao.

Cruiserweight M1 is going to be weird as M5

We've been doing it that way literally since 2.0. Final coil turn 4 is called turn 13. Second coil turn 2 is called turn 7.

It's M. It's the one people use and fighting it is like fighting against the inevitable sweet release of death. You may try and push back against it for a time. But in the end you will fail.

Yes, and that has always been silly to me. The community’s insistence that we try to force a single letter abbreviation onto every tier has already caused issues in the past, and it isn’t even a consistent naming convention because the raids don’t follow a set pattern themselves. Just use an easy and obvious acronym and the issue of what letter to use that doesn’t overlap with a previous tier disappears.
