What is the reason why some roleplayers I've found are more likely to use future tense? In some or all of the cases, it's not even about compromising whether or not the other roleplayer they are interacting with will allow an action.
Sometimes it's just:
Quote:Kage Kiryuu would throw himself at the ground and then tackle the others' feet in an attempt to make him stumble.
Is this a common way to speak / roleplay in tabletop? Where does the future tense usage come from?
Edit: I've emphasized a point that has been brought up already. I know this. That's why I already mentioned it and now I've bolded it.
Just how I always saw it at least.
Playing some character, maybe on Balmung, maybe not.
