We usually do pretty well, and all the ranked matches - which is where the points come from - are appointed judges anyway. so that salt level can be pretty damn high, it doesn't make a difference.

And since, unlike HoR, the parties don't need to validate it, we avoid the common 'nah, I ain't validating nothing' issue that arose there. 

Nutts is right though, it's basically all about tactics in the fight, and getting your opponent in a position where, logically, they can't escape even with the use of their powers and whatnot.

For some reason, that example reminds me of Tic-Tack-Toe, and how prone that game is to potentially endless stalemates.

Something to keep in mind, probably stating the obvious, is that Arena Scores aren't like Levels in a Pokemon battle. So a Lv5 Pikachu vs a Lv100 MewTwo isn't the same as two players with different scores. By that I mean that just cause someone has a high doesn't mean that they are all powerful and mighty where others can't touch them. It could just mean that they are overly active and cause they've been in 10 battles to your 1, they have a chance to have 10 times more winnings than yourself. :)

So in a years time when a newbie looks at the Arena section and sees these high scores, they shouldn't look at it in a way that is "I'm not good enough to battle them", but more, "That person has had a lot more experience in this type of roleplaying"

I was thinking less about their power level, and more about their ego level xD
