There should be some guidance rules about things that aren't implemented
There are, they are called "logic".

I have seen chars who always avoided to be caught by using #me dodges (when I did an rp attack) or #me struggles free (when being grabbed by three people).
I have also seen chars, always whispering their abilities to me (and NO, that was none of Galims chars) and it really annoyed me after some time, because the player was quite pushy with it. :roll:

What I want to say is, we have always both extremes on every side, and certain rules will not do anything here, since #me acting is variable from player to player and no one can tell you what the "perfect" roleplay is. One is always just acting in certrain guidelines.
So, always try to find a good middle. In my eyes, a single, simple and short #me is not enough to do a real rp fight or capturing/breaking out. You could use the technical system too then.

If you want to #me during a real ctrl click fight, then make it only your side of the story #me dodges, #me thrusts and let the other person decide the effect you did

If you are #me during a fake fight, it will become a game of who types with the best moves first... i was in a #me fight where my char was face down and being held by his back, i got myself into it; and i had to get myself out without being superhuman...its called etiquette

The question of #me during fights is always tough the way I have done it.
Is one use a dagger against heavy armor to allow enough time for typing.
Or dureing a real ctrl click battle one just has to allow that a real sword fight is often to fast to really follow anyway.
It is just something one learns to work around.

Right, it is simply impossible to use proper #me's in a battle with bigger weapons. I was talking about only-rp-fights, training, or, as mentioned before, fights with lighter weapons.

Suggestion OOC: to the person that every 5 seconds or so [use the clock] you will both stop hitting each other, allow time to type #me's and there you are...

And who the smile is Simon cowell? Hope he looks good <_<
Simon Cowell is a music guy who tells people quite bluntly if they are good or bad. He is a judge in a program called "The X Factor" where millions of people who think they can sing, go to auditions.

Search for him on google or something. :lol:

Sorry, i'll spell it out for you.

American Idol is a rip off from a TV show in the UK. Simon Cowell IS in The X Factor, and he is also in American Idle. The Mr.T thing was just a sarcastic way to say that maybe people can be in more than one thing. :roll:

It says in the manual that when you fight a person, if you defeat them (destroy all their hit points) they go unconcious. You can then take their items, unless you really want to kill them then you just stab them or watever.
