[QUOTE="carpedavid, post: 2240468, member: 6971"] Thanks for the kind comments, everyone. I'm still having fun writing it, so I'll keep plugging away. I also find that meeting the personal challenge of updating every week is quite satisfying - so I plan to keep updating at that schedule. Busy weeks end up with shorter updates, while not-so-busy weeks get slightly longer ones :) Specific comments and answers: Cool. I've been trying to work on the dialogue lately. Hopfeully the improvement is a result of that. For those following allong at home, Attilla the Bum, ChewManPhoo, Kiwifudgechocobo and I all took jujitsu in college together. I maintain that my description of his shins is dead on :p. Thanks! We've been engaged for about three and a half years at this point, and, to answer the inevitable follow-up question, we're due to get married once we get around to planning a wedding. We're bad at planning :).... Okay, I'm bad at planning :) From what I recall, it came down mainly to the luck of the dice. Kyoji's player rolled really well, and Takashi's player flubbed most of his rolls. Here's the transcription of my actual notes from the fight: Ky - att T for 4 T - tries to grab, miss Ky - hits for 5 T - att, miss Ky - tries backhand, miss T - miss Ky - att T - miss Ky - punch to chest, KO If Kyoji or Takashi's players remember anything in particular that made a difference, it would be interesting to hear.
