Its one of the several things that have kind of pushed me away from rp in general.
Not everyone :p as I said earlier, Val has lost several times. He certainly won't lose if the person doesn't know how to realistically defeat or outsmart him, but I'm not opposed to him being taken out and I know several others that are just fine with it.
Loss is actually a great RP opportunity. Your character has to deal with that loss, humiliation, fact that someone is better than them, etc. Others will see it as a reason to get stronger, need more training, whatever. It's really entertaining either way and, arguably, one can say the opportunities of RP from a loss far exceed that of a win.
