Fortunately scorpio was open-minded about trying out something new for a while.

*As for dojos, i've heard suggestions about making it a box, rather than a dojo (worth testing, out of curiosity, if it will make any difference). One point that was raised through observation by someone, was that even though the dojo's relatively small, running tactics are still most effective - unless the cop is faster than the robber, so to speak (in which most cases, it is not - so frequent running is still present). Though i suppose in a mod like this, it really is mostly unavoidable. With this in mind, it might seem controversial to suggest trying to raise the dojo size to 900 (see replay for reason :>). There really seems to be no right or wrong way to handle this, i guess. Losers will be either ones who manage to get pushed out or who can't keep up, which itself is really a matter of practicing to avoid it.
*Concerns over the shins taking damage though, perhaps not to turn off the damage but to lower it even further (if the sole purpose is to avoid draw, then minimizing this damage as much as possible would be best imo, as you only need a 1 point difference). I wouldn't know how low exactly would be the optimum for this.

Though the mod still has plenty to prove before it gets set as default for a longer period of time, it's nice to see some change. ;> Right now there doesn't seem to be much wrong with it.
Also when testing, don't rely entirely on your experience or the experience of those who are already used to the wushu settings, they'll manage whatever conditions are thrown at them. Since your concern (i think) is to see how beginners adapt to this mod (in hopes of it becoming a public mod and usable for events), then your primary focus should be observing them and (mostly) only them, if you want any meaningful results.
