I'm getting some mixed signals here, so I want to sort this out. Do or do you not want me to change the system?

Bio
Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.
Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

So... you can't win by being a coward. Gotcha.Exactly!
I said that I was no longer judging. When I read over the fight between Shiro and Daniel I reminded them of the lowest-wins rule. I thought it was pretty logical, but I guess I'll explain it.
THE RULES
You lose when your aura is depleted to a degree I'm calling 'red level'. Better yet, let's imagine it as an hp system. When your hp gets to 0, you are in danger of taking serious injuries since your aura can no longer protect you, the match ends, and you lose. If nobody does that before time runs out, the one with the lowest aura wins. That means if two people spend five minutes fighting each other, and one of them has 5 hp left when the other has 20, but neither of them have 0, then the one with 5 wins. No matter what, if it goes to 0, that fighter is the loser. Diamond lost because her hp was reduced to 0. Abel lost because his hp was reduced to 0.
Shiro won because his hp was lower than Daniel's, but not 0. If this was not the case, then I assume you would have ended Daniel/Shiro's match with the realization that Shiro was in the red, not that the time had run out. If you meant that Shiro's hp was in fact 0, then he lost.
TLDR: Fighter A goes to red, he loses. Fighter B goes to red, he loses. Neither fighter goes to red, but time runs out, and A is in yellow while B is in orange, then B wins.
Why did I make it this way? I'm sure you've seen every fighting game ever, in which if the time runs out, the fighter with the most hp wins. I chose not to do that because it encourages playing lame, not fighting and instead running away. By having the lower (BUT NOT 0) one win, it encourages the fighters to gamble. Do they try to get themselves lower, knowing that it will make them easier to be reduced to 0 (and be defeated)? Or do they try to win normally by reducing the opponent to 0?
Fast forward to 7 minutes. As the time runs out, player 1 wins, because he had more total health. In normal matches, one player beats the other before time runs out (As in Mokuren/Diamond and Abel/Robert) but in this one, he ran out the clock by 'jumping around' and not actually fighting, as he admits. In theory, he could have landed one hit on the enemy, and waited for time to run out, and he would have won if the enemy couldn't strike back.

Savo and Dharc have been kicked.
@Guess, you go ahead and do it.
Awesome!
Here is where you'll begin.
Basically, everyone's sparring. I randomly assigned partners among the players we have, but in your case, only one person remains for each of you: each other! So after some reading, maybe getting an idea from the other fights, I'd recommend you setting up a Titanpad or google doc and getting going. Kinda unusual, I know; not everyone's first post in a new RP is a collab.
Have fun!
Alright, folks! We have two new players incoming. I expect everyone to give them a sensual warm welcome.
Beowolf, perhaps I could entice you with this?
I glossed it over in my post. I'd prefer people getting to the class at this point.Potato, I had Victor have a quick interaction with Rayna, if there's an issue with this, let me know and I'll fix it up.I thought we were going through the entire fetching his arm journey. ;( Was waiting for either of you to initiate it 'cause Jayden has no idea where exactly to look first.
Now I'm just picking random people. Hopefully I'll surpass 'baseline benefactor' rank before long, eh?
