Awfully dumb question incoming

I was reading through some PvP to get an idea of how it worked, specifically the Colosseum threads (marvelous writing btw, I loved looking through them). But it seems like in a lot of it people seem to end up RPing the guy they're fighting as well as their own characters. I've never been anywhere where that's been a thing and I find it kinda weird...so...uh....how exactly does that work? :dur:

It's a product of the system in place and the limited number of posts/words available in a fight. So as to create a more flowing narrative, each writer is allowed to write as their own character as well as their opponent(s), if they are of a mind. If that is something you are uncomfortable with, or just don't feel confident in doing, it's something you can choose to opt out of entirely and no one will think badly of you for it.

Naturally, there is often communication and coordination of the participants involved, through PMs or Skype or the like, so as to make sure things are reasonably accurate and in the clear.

Hope that cleared it up for ya! If you're still unsure about anything, make a separate thread on the topic so as to not clog up the Quick Questions thread.
