Not to be an ass, but is it really necessary for people to post PBS logs there as a war story.
I don't want to read that.

I go to the arena and read some good, well written tales about not only fights, but the emotion and drama involved.
Kinda liked AznExplosN's recent posting to commemerate the new forum, and even though I, in the words of Mr. K, pissed on his parade, 10,000lb. Snorlax told a damn good tale as well.

I don't enjoy reading heartless copies of a computer log.

But that is my humble opinion.

I really want to post a cool story, if Brandon ever gets to town...

Yah, I agree. PBS lacks the metaphor.

Agreed. I've clicked on promises of a good battle, and instead of seeing a story with step by step analysis (I like step by step analysis, and a log file is great, but needs comments), but without at least people saying what they did on what round and why, its just lame.

Plus everyone seems to always use 6 on 6, so it lasts an extraordinarily long time compared to tournament battles, with people switching all the damn time.

I like the concept of logs, as they give the complete battle, but posting just that is unfit for casual reading: I might read a log of a championship match between people with handles I recognize, but I can't get in someones head when all I see is line after line of actions, without even a logical "end of round" delineator, in most places...

This is a good point. I'll go say something about this over there right now.
