I think taking a forum arena battle that seriously isn't exactly healthy.

---------------------------------

Hence my appreciation for a more cinematic battle that is both fun to write and to read. As for Ysolda surviving... I really have stopped caring. Your "GRRARGHSUPERSRS" approach and attitude to this thing has utterly killed my drive to even bother. I was going to have her take a longshot and hide inside that groove she was holding onto (as in the picture it is at LEAST fifteen feet wide, given that mech's height, more than enough for her AND her essence armor to fit into) and ride out the blast using your own nuke-proof armor as sort of a sail to ride the shockwave. But frankly, she can die now for all I care.

Don't get me wrong, I can be a HELL of a fighter when I want to be. But generally I find myself having much more fun when a fight is taken lightly, played out in a manner pleasing to read and imagine, and not two or more people looking for the first chance they get to assfuck the opponents with no lubrication. Truth be told, I've really only gone apeshit wild on someone like... 4 times in the 10 years I've been RPing. I really just don't like doing it unless there's one hell of a point to prove. Barring that, I fight for fun, not to win.
