Once things get up and running, you guys will mesh in nicely and everything will go smoothly ^-^ As always if you need any help or have question, just ask~
Thanks! I'll be sure to ask. I'll have tons of questions later, I'm sure.

In fact, RP almost always seem to be derailed when things devolve into text-based fights, even when done by the most expert roleplayers with the best intentions. People on the sidelines inevitably will try to get involved, and likely be ignored. People instinctively resort to self-preservation and almost no one can subconsciously agree on what a 'expert' level entails. People who normally roleplay as open novices, still manage somehow to elude veterans, and will continue to do so. And, along with everything else, it takes time. If it happens with a group of other people and those people aren't involved in the fight itself, they're stuck sitting there watching you pound out paragraph after paragraph, move after move, and if they try to get involved and -aren't- ignored, things can suddenly become uncomfortably imbalanced.
Bolded the part that happened to me when I was RPing with Shurin and we encountered Deirdre and Navei out in the boonies.
Tried to resolve it through OOC discussion in /tell, that went nowhere. I threw up my arms in exasperation and just played along what I could.
To be honest, examples like these are why I've decided to give up on trying to enjoy roleplay on Balmung. It's just not worth the hassle anymore.
As I mentioned further above, GMing will not be tolerated when it comes to anything RP, including sparring. The reason you were ignored was because of that fact, and because of the rude OOC comments you made.
You really have no argument here, if anything you are an example of why things go awry.
Wow. I'm not even going to dignify that blatant accusation with a response. All I was trying to do was illustrate the lack of an appropriate resolution to the issue while we were roleplaying at that point in time.
I don't like it when two actors can't even improvise to produce a good performance, and it ends up being a hilariously god-awful act that even a five-year old child could surpass.
That said, PVP should be taken as an optional, serious RP mechanic.
Alright guys, enough. Lets not derail the topic please.
