I'm still reading, and maybe I'll joke around in chat later down the road. For now though, I'm sort of lurking in there, trying to avoid this spilling over... Its easy to avoid a single thread, not so easy to avoid the chat that so many people enjoy when they have time. As mentioned earlier in this post, it seems to have done so anyway, without my presence...
Character development is awesome. I actually wanted Stein to work towards regaining his former glory, he hasn't even used his Comet shield because IC he hasn't redeveloped the technique. More complex moves would have taken a LOT longer to rediscover in character through active work. Fewer moves, longer development... and then if Stein had ever found a need to be more offensive, he would have had a whole new arc of learning foreign techniques that involved dealing damage as a primary role.
Complexity breeds contemplation.
