The thing i liked about SC and MB was that you didnt just have to plan it every time, it could be totally spontaneous without even needing to have a 'prep talk' about it. I mean sure, you could set one up and sort out who does what before hand, but sometimes you could just go in to a party, someone would let out a WS and before you know it you've got an SC and an MB right there. It was just nice to see random initiative and a reward for it, without the need to plan ahead once in a while. It was also fun when you were new and pulled them off by accident, which wasnt too hard to do.

In its very first incarnation, my experience with BR on the fly wasn't great. If i tried to initiate one myself, no one would realise. If i tried to alert them to what i was doing everyone was all 'huh!? what? BR actually does something? what do i use? did it work? did i do it?' and the whole time we're being whacked away at by whatever we're fighting. This was real early on though, i dont know how much it changed along the way, after that experience i was loathe to revisit it. I think some of the DDs in my old static would play around with it but i never even noticed.
