Since you've decided to turn a [i]debate[/i] into a [i]flame war[/i] by getting personal with me...

Nope, wasn't flaming. I had no intention of upsetting anyone, causing IRL rage, etc. I'm even going to say I'm sorry if that helps at all. I won't read the rest of that rant though.

If I'm going to be honest, the only time I've enjoyed writing a fight with someone was when we decided on the victor before hand. But you're right, passion is pretty high in this topic for some reason.

Shoryu may compare it to chess, but there's another analogy i've heard that's better to my liking: roleplay fighting is a debate, where by analyzing and carefully setting up the various inherent factors of a fight - body positioning, momentum, commitment, timing, spacing - you must convince your opponent that they're stacked in favor of your action.

I actually agree with this. While it's not something i'll ever enjoy, I do understand now why some people would enjoy or even prefer this over a dice system.
