Welcome to Gaia! ::

I meant, more-so, that you are enjoying the fight because you were looking forward to it; a large part of how any interaction between people will go is all in the origin.

If you lead with good feelings, you're likely to get good feelings.

I've always been of the belief that if my character wants to win, then I have an obligation to play them that way. IRL, I'm actually a really non-confrontational guy. People joke about how, "On Gaia, you play this bone breaking monk who ends every fight covered in blood...his own, and his enemies...and yet you won't participate in PvP anything else."

Truthfully, for all my IRL experience on the subject, I'm not an especially violent guy. I don't like football, or wrestling, or UFC...But, in Role-Play, I challenge myself to step beyond what I want.

I look for something different; something outside myself.

Fighting to win, for the sake of my character, is a part of that.

Except it's still a tournament where you are trying to win and the method of winning is to overwhelm your opponent both literally and figuratively. You can preach that angle all you want, it doesn't change that it's still a competition.

I bet literally no one has ever said that.

I bet it's more like, "Gaia? Is that the faggy little avatar dress-up site where you play pretend?"

Well, I mean the people I know from Gaia that I also know IRL. sweatdrop

NO!

You are a better RPer than me by far.

This community needs you.

You teach people how to have fun.

I'll get out my plot armor.
