I WILL.
I'm still deciding if I need to consult with Emo about whether or not I should introduce my character in a civilian mecha gambling brawlfest (and how much control I might be able to give away with that fight), or if he needs us to high tail it to the blackbird for the plot to begin. In the latter case I will simply imply the "Scarlett Seer" won spectacularly.
... Come to think about it, I don't think I've even asked Emo how common or popular mecha fighting is in terms of sports - would the more reputable people of iTV be able to crowd around the force-fields like a sporting event, betting on which giant robot would bash the nuts out of another? Or would this be a local or unviable backwater sport (like Basketball or Australian Rules... *trollbait*)
I think it's like NASCAR, the only people who consider NASCAR a sport are hillbillies and hicks. So not many people would even consider mecha fighting a sport, and they have a very compelling reason for thinking so.
Traditionalist Sports fans claim that a sport requires physical exercise. In NASCAR, all the Driver does is drive really fast and try to get 1st place, This would be similar in Mecha fighting, because, you are not using muscles to pin your target down. you are fighting with a machine. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

What's the setting? Is there a setting? Do settings exist? Are settings things?
Original message details are unavailable.
Not particularly interested in getting involved in an RP where the GM has already structured the story so heavily that they already know exactly how the finale will go.
... It would appear that we have a critic on our hands.
Not the word I would've used, but I suppose you are a better person than I!

but I'm thinking mec* fights pose a lot more of a risk and skill than jumping in a NASCAR and driving in circles all day.
When you explained this to me, my eyebrows went up. I am intrigued, what kind of risk?, I would say that the sport would have the mec* fighters be encaged in bullet-proof glass, so that they don't get a shot in the ribs heart or the head (Remember that Mec* fighting is a civilian recreational function, so bullets would be used here).
