@Bryn: I suppose coming from the community I come from where anything and everything could be used against you OOC, I may have a paranoia of covering my ass to circumvent the accusation of godmoding. If there are any other former GW2 rpers here, they might know what I mean.
In combat, future tense becomes the most ideal. If I type, "Vyce twists sideways, attempting to dodge the blow." I can get a nastygram in whisper. Yes, I know how dumb it is.
"Vyce would twist sideways, attempting to dodge the blow." runs much less risk of someone getting their jimmies rustled.
In spite of my arguments, I don't use future tense all the time. There are actions where I was use present tense. Future tense I'll only use personally when it is an action that heavily depends on the reaction from someone else.
I never use future tense (unless by accident) because I am in the moment when I RP. I think of everything as right here and now unless my character is talking about something that happened.
