Spamfestival Cancelled; Its an Rp not a Type Fast Contest

I am getting very annoyed with every one spamming to win a fight. It makes sense to spam if your firing a turret at a Sith in the Jedi temple but I would rather fight a battle not watch someones typing appear on my screen.

SPAMFEST (current)

*slices at head*
*cuts through skin*
*cuts through flesh*
*cuts through muscle*
*cuts through bone*
*cuts through brain*
*dead*
-dodges the attack-

ROLE PLAY (future?)

*slices at head*
(fast typer pauses for reply)
-blocks the blow-
*strikes the legs*
-It connects now- (Note the person being hit takes damage)
*you fall down*
-leaps back up-
-kicks at chest-
*I hit ground*
-- says: You will never defeat me
** says: we will see
*jumps up now*
etc etc

Now the person who was previously disadvantaged is suddenly Role Playing not being spammed. It makes for an overall better RP experience and makes the game enjoyable for people who are not fast typers.

I presume so but Rp was not based this way and never really has. It's been the way it is for 7 years. Perhaps that is why it is failing.
Mm

One problem, everyone describes spam differently. Here are two definitions of what I've heard on habbo:
- Constantly 3 wording: (head, skin, flesh, bone, brain)
- Making unreadable lines. (my def. of spam.)

But fighting is about who is the better and faster typer. But still, people should show that they're good. Good - 4 + words. 3 wording noobs only prove that they're good spammers tbh.

That is also not roleplay, your second future roleplay. Eg some people Ic'ly would be better with a lightsaber than others, so not all there strikes could be blocked with ease.

Yup you guys hit the point. But like also stated above there are lots of types of spam above.

Typo Spam
Force Spam.
3 Word Spam [Sometimes Even 2 Word]
But yeah people spam on their own accord so I say let them?

Another reason why Rp isn't as good as it should be is because it's habbo. Not like SWG or anything so you have to live with the little knick knacks until they are paved over anew.

I forgot to add this to my first post. If a Padawan attacks the Sith Lord he must be owned unless under spacial circumstances.

**= Sith Lord
-- = Padawan

*Slices at head well now*
-Dodges it now-
(The Sith Lord can void the dodge due to his rank)
*It goes in deep*
*Comes out the other side*
*dead*
(The Sith Lord can kill the Paddy in 3 or so lines due to the fact that a Padawan will not defeat the Sith lord)

And btw I 3 word but I can't spam cause I am really slow

That's kind of fucked.
For a few reasons.
An Example:
Obi Wan And Darth Maul.

Obi did fine till he was hanging for his life.
Even so he still owned Maul
