[QUOTE="DogBackward, post: 4487424, member: 50642"] Think of it this way; go off and do something. Anything; homework, fighting, video games, whatever you feel like. Now, try and do that with some guy sitting behind you, constantly smacking you in the back of the head, and incessantly yelling at you. Probably flinging a bit of spittle in your direction in the process. No matter how trained, wise or intelligent you are, that will distract the hell out of you. And your performance will suffer for it. And yeah, the reason only one can mark at a time? Balance, for one, which is something that can't be ignored. Also, most people that get wound up, annoyed and distracted like that will tend to concentrate their ire on the last one to annoy them. Watch a bunch of kids surrounding someone with the taunts and jabs and the like. Chances are, poor kid'll be spinning in circles trying to get one in on the last guy to mess with 'im. Really, go live with a family of 7 kids for a few years. You'll understand a Fighter's Marking perfectly by then, trust me. [/QUOTE]
