So what ultimately got you guys into Arena fighting?

For me, combat was a big part of MYB RPing, but then I went offsite and saw this wonderful bout, but could never find it again. It involved two guys in a stadium type of thing, one was using strings to create lines around the stadium and his opponent, early on, lost a finger.

That's my biggest goal, to participate in a fight that hooks me like that from the very beginning. To me, they represent the pinnacle of Arena RPing.

I fought a childhood friend a bit in a similar format to this and he once did a clever move by telekinetically flinging one of my characters into the path of a fireball from my other character, killing the one hit and wasting the other's time and energy so that he was quickly defeated afterwards. I don't know if they are still roleplaying, probably not, or even what website we used, but it was fun. I didn't do much for a while after we stopped seeing each other.
