If you mean my persistant use of the word "would" in my posts, that's actually a very common fight writing technique used to prevent autoing and overextending. For example, if I state *Zande swung his axe", that's assuming the enemy allowed Zande to swing the axe in the first place, and if they had preemptively planned to interrupt my action, I'd have wound up restricting my character's potential responses in addition to having autoed. 

As such, I write it out as *Zande would swing his axe*, as that's what my character [u]would[/u] do if circumstances permitted it. I take very little for granted (I'm very used to having my actions countered and whatnot) so I use that technique a lot, especially in situations where a little mistake can make a bit difference. Besides, how else would I create setups? Take my first post, for example.

If I'm describing cause and effect scenarios, I need to use future tense. It's the best way to get things to work out in the way you visualize them, in a world where every certain move may score you a crushed skull.
