Well, that's where the net comes in, I guess.  I saw that you didn't feel
comfortable posting your stats to the net, because it seemed to put you at
a tactical disadvantage.  In that case, you can always mail the people
directly, avoiding posting your stats for any lurker who might be in
Riztab to see.

I once posted some stats to the Free Blades newsletter to show everyone how
my SZ 4 lunger was definitely not a God, and he proceeded to be challenged by
TPs mercilessly.  I see your point perhaps clearer than others might.

>How much use do people make of the special tactics?

A lot early in a fighter's career, and then I stop using them when the Expert
ratings start rolling in.  For instance, my bashers generally use Bash or Decis
until they get their EXP/AEX in Attack, Init, and or Decis, and then go un-
modified.  The tactics really screw you up overall, and certain styles (i.e.
Parry-Riposte) really suffer more than others.

Generally, Bashers, Strikers, Lungers, Wall of Steels, and Total Parries seem
to fight better when young if they are modified, and then progressively dropping
the tactics makes them even more effective fighters (especially true with
finesse warriors, and high WT TPs)
