Guidelines; Codes of honor:

• If you wish to make your attack last more than one post, you should write (cont) at the end as an indication to your opponent. You should not continue your attack for more than 2 posts, and you should have the entire attack written out before you can post anything... use cut/copy and paste. After you posted an attack, you should wait for your opponent to respond before you make another post attack... if your opponent responds to your attack without counter-attacking, then whoever's attack is posted next gets priority, and the other should delete his attack to avoid confusion. If your opponent attacks a second time before you had a chance to post your response to his/her first attack, you may ignore the 2nd.
  (Ok, that whole thing sounds confusing, but basically what that means is that you take turns attacking... except for when your opponent defends without attacking, in which case you can attack again. I hope that clarifies it...)
  
  
• You should not say how much damage you did to the opponent.It is unhonorable and maybe embaressing beacause he can always avoid it by dodging or blocking ect. You cannot rely on,
  *slashes with a knife and cuts his face*
  ,because the damage you posted could have easily never happened if he evaded the attack. He could always jump back or block with his own weapon, ect. A,
  *slashes rapidly toward his face with a knife*
  ,would be more apropiate, there is no risk there. You can post damage but realize that this is NOT permanent and that it never truly happened until your opponents next post. Any kind of attack can be dodged... When attacking, you should not describe damage to your opponent's body... although it really doesnt matter, since whether you say you injured your opponent with your attack or not, he can dodge your attack no matter what. Basically, in a fight that isnt being judged, it is possible that neither fighter would ever hurt each other, and the fight would go on forever, but this is not the most fun way to fight. I suggest that you allow yourself to be wounded, and even to sometimes lose a fight, because this makes fighting alot more fun... if you are having someone judge you, you of course dont need to do this...
  
  
• If your opponent has a certain skill that just may be out reality for your opponent(Flying,teleportion,magic ect.) then you should tell him or her before the fight comences.It is done in that way so that the he or she will not spur an argument about the reality of the move in the middle of a fight.It just wastes time plus your opponent will apreciate the knoledge a little more.And maybe you can use your skill more often.Also,You must assume that your opponent has not seen the anime/videogame/movie that your attack has come from. Therefore, if you dont describe it, your opponent is allowed to make his/her own assumptions about it. The only time when you dont have to describe an attack is if you've already used the exact same attack earlier in the same match... but even then, you should remind your opponent what it does. Bottom line is, the more descripitve, the better.
