''Bloodlust: It is assumed that each contestant in the arena will fight to his/her best ability. That means they will use any powers at their disposal. For example, even though The Flash doesn't clock each of his own opponents in the first picosecond in his own comic, it is assumed that is a viable tactic on this board since it is a proven fact that he possesses that level of speed. It is also assumed that the characters fight at their optimum levels of ability - not explicitly weakened or unusually powered up for those who have variable power levels.''

The Khazan Bloodlust, originally coined as Bloodthirst, is the assumption that a character in the area will fight without any sort of Writer's Fiat (or PIS), and without regard to their usual moral codes. The classic explanation of Bloodlust is that if Superman is capable of punching his opponent's head off, he will, even though Superman would normally be adverse to such brutality. The Khazan Bloodlust is also partially responsible for the coining of the term Speedblitz.

However, there are sometimes times where this is misinterpreted, while the traditional definition of bloodlust almost parallels 'insanity'. The Rumbles definition simply means that the opponent is trying their absolute hardest to defeat the other person.

This is not a removal of CIS, however. Opponents will retain their mind, personality, and mental shortcomings.
