It just seems a tad ripe for abuse in that sense, seeing as the damage count is purely dictated by each player. In the last board I frequented, there were three judges and they chose the winner based on enjoyment, appropriate post count, grammar, spelling and writing skill, so it was always a fair contest. The victor then got a victory post wherein they could kill the opponent or otherwise end the fight.

Might be a viable option for people who prefer it that way. Just my opinion though.
