Hello, hello, I think I know you :P[/quote]
You do you do! Lol haha. I was in the Fairy Tail RP for awhile. Phoenix Wing I believe?

I had the enchanter (of sorts).

[@Rin] One other thing to add to my previous point. Maybe a bet isn't the best thing to compare this to.

It's more like this:

Fighting someone is a risk and just like in real life, if there is no pay off or no positive thing to gain from taking that risk, then what's the point of taking the risk? The answer is there really isn't a point in doing so. Why would you do something risky if the only thing you got out of it was crushing failure, getting hurt, dying, etc etc.

The only counterpoint I can think of is that you might learn from your mistakes(provided you survive, as combat in Bleach tends to be fatal for the losing party), which can make for good character development (in both real life and in a RP), but that's not my problem. If my character loses, that's fine. I just want the chance to let the fight and the interaction in that fight decide that loss, rather than a third party or a conversation prior. Regardless, I'm a late comer and it seems like people in the previous thread are essentially [i]for[/i] that rule so my complaints/points are probably just arguing against a foregone conclusion.
