That's not what I was getting at. I believe that fighting would best be 
resolved quickly and smoothly, and that it would be a means to an end, not 
an end in itself.

Clearly there are some games that you go to because you want a bit of a 
fight - many fantasy larps, for example. If people were coming to a UA game 
because they wanted brawling and gunfights, I'd lose interest in running it. 
UA has a lot of really cool stuff that would be glossed over or lost in a 
combat-oriented larp/freeform.

Naturally my opinion is shaped by the styes of games that I run.
