Ah no I'm sorry. It's probably mostly my fault. I've been accused of GM'ing a few times before on other sites so now I'm kind of afraid to be seen as a GMing person on other places. As a result, I've developed a tendency to put my characters in harm's way more than others and I have taken a preference for defeat in RP battles more often than victories. xD That's also why I've mostly been saying to excuse me and let me know if I've done anything a bit extreme.

But yeah, I don't mind either way myself. Although to be perfectly fair, I do not have extensive knowledge about combat myself. xD I have never really bothered to learn anything about it since it has never been required before. I just know that I typically enjoy having characters exchange/block/etc blows until one of them is unable to continue.

But when I introduce a character for battle, I use that character. I completely avoid self-inserting anything about me unless it's a self-inserted character like a per/fursona. I stick strictly to what that character would do in any given situation, rather than planning anything out outside of the RP. That's pretty much what I've done...and Auron has the particularly striking weakness that he tends to rush into things and rely on instinct rather than actual planning things out. So that's what I've been doing for the majority of the fight.
