Â We RP in a merc guild and training is one element of that. Â This may vary widely from group to group though, and I have known in my experiences RPers who would get very butthurt if their characters lost bouts. Â While I understand where some characters might go out of their way to avoid this style of RP, there is a lot of good that can potentially stem forth from it. Â I can firmly say that Eva would not be the character that she is if not for certain spars/fights that have transpired over her time and the RP that came afterwards. Â One thing some of us remember fondly is when she somehow managed to topple the leader of a previous company to which she had belonged (we can safely call it a bit of a fluke) and the rather unusual RP that eventually followed as a result. Â Like most things though, YMMV and everyone RP's differently and has elements that they like or dislike more than others.
