Subject: Surrealism is in my happy place. O.O

Blargle. I've gotta recreate a surrealism piece for my art class and use images from magazines to make it kind of like...my own meaning or something. it's crazy. XP. I've decided to take a compie break. ^~. lol...i've been taking compie breaks like...every 15 minutes. Luckily, I'm working on a piece I enjoy (Dali's Persistence of Memory...for those of you who don't know of his works, it's the one with the freaky melting clocks and the melting face. ^~.) OH YEAH!!!! I thought I'd mention this because I had to deal with it on an irc RPG and it bugs the snot outta me...so here goes:

WHEN TWO CHARACTERS ARE PHYSICALLY FIGHTING, BOTH WILL, INEVITABLY TAKE HITS.
Seriously. All the charas seem to have pretty evenly matched fighting skills, so let's all act like it. And men are going to do more damage with their hits, naturally, because it's just the way that their built. Believe me, I know.
I can partially speak from experience as I was in D*Hall about every other week for getting into fights. Sure, there were a lot of times when the other person didn't get a hit in...but that was people who didn't know how to fight. When I fought people who knew what they were doing, I suffered my fair share of broken ribs and busted lips, let me tell you. But so did they.
So what am I saying? Simple. YOUR CHARA WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DODGE EVERY SINGLE HIT THAT IS DISHED OUT TO THEM!!! Certinaly, your chara doesn't have to be mortally wounded by a hit, because that is unrealistic...but if they dodge every freakin hit, you aren't only being unrealistic, you're being unfair. I'm just saying that each side will pretty much take an even amount of "woopin's". After all, it's NO fun when you're chara is attempting and attempting to make a hit and they never make it. I think it's kind of fun thinking of ways for my charas to take hits. (then again, i'm weird. XD) Now, I'm not saying that Jezebel could bust Devastation in her good eye, oh ho ho ho ho, no. But they aren't equally matched. So :P. Yeah. That's my beef. Dealing with it on IRC was more irritating because that was 'real-time' rpg'ing, and I didn't have time to explain this all before I got sick of it all. :D. Anywho. I think if everyone takes this into account, it'll be more fun and fair to everyone. *shrug* i dunno....*sigh* back to the art i go XP.
