[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 5901967, member: 87792"] Marking works much better as a term when you realise it's meant to be what's meant by marking in football or basketball. The fighter is the guy [I]in your face[/I]. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manute_Bol"]Manute Bol[/URL] might not be as skillful as Michael Jordan but he's a foot taller and when he's busy crowding you you pay attention. Urgh. That takes a lot of tracking and trying to force the enemy's thought processes. With marking the choice is simple - hit the marker or ignore the person in your face and possibly get smacked. We use coloured paperclips to track conditions. Different colour for each PC's mark. That said, the Defender Auras of Essentials (which effectively do the same job as marking everyone around the defender) seem to run that much more smoothly. It also means that if someone's in two defender auras, he can attack either without trouble - but if he even [I]thinks[/I] of attacking someone else he's in deep, deep trouble. [/QUOTE]
