OOC, DA is just a REALLY fun event for writers who enjoy collaboration. You're forced to get to know the other writers on the site, whether you're working with them or against them -- honestly, it's how I made some of my best friends on the site (Greg, Sam, Guu, Alex, to name just a few) and is an invaluable way to meet people you otherwise might not get the opportunity to write with.
And with the elimination of the PvP aspect, I think even more people will enjoy the social side cause I know that was what weighed on lots of people's nerves last year.
IC, it's tougher. If I choose to go with Spider-Man, it's not a huge deal -- I can find an easy explanation for him jumping back in to the fray. But with Mickey it's a bit tougher; he's already been through this once, he knows what it's like. Why would he subject himself to it again? Also, just on an OOC/IC level, there's only so many times I can play the "this is too much bloodshed!" card without getting bored of it.
