PvP roleplays. These are some of the hardest kinds of roleplays to achieve success in, especially battle scenes. Now battle scenes between players are hard to do, especially if you stick to a post by post format[which I have always used] as you always have to be like "so I did this and then if it succeeds this will happen, etc". So there are a lot of decent people who make the battle kind of fun and what not[in these kinds I actually usually end up playing as the 'bad guy' so most of the time I'm suppose to kind of lose, which is fine with me], but then you meet those people...
You know a battle is suppose to have hits one both sides, the stakes are high and fists and weapons are flying all over the place, but you are fighting HIM, or her. That guys who despite supposedly being close to your level in skill, somehow makes every action and engagement go in their favor; soon you realize that only your own character has taken any real hits because you've been allowing damage to your character to make things fair; obviously, they aren't playing by the same rules.
No you CAN'T dodge or block everything! Whenever you are in a decent battle something should not go your character's way! Something! Anything! What in the world that was point blank range and still you managed to not get hit? HUH!? A hero should have trouble with his opponent not dominate them!
Anyway this is why I hardly ever do any PvP role plays anymore. PvE is a lot more manageable but even in those I still try to make my characters struggle through their battles.
