Why would there be an expectation?  Is there an expectation that you
roleplay the battle you just won?  And, to answer (with a rhetorical
question) the unasked question that seems to follow from this thread,
will there be doubt that the battle was won if it isn't roleplayed or
if the roleplay isn't very good?

After seeing this thread, there is no way in hell I am ever going to
roleplay any claim I may buy.  From the likes of this (and the
plethora of other) threads, there are way too many vocal powergamers
out there.  I can just see them salivating at the mouth right now
(while their character sits there, oblivious to the game mechanics)
just waiting to pounce on any reason that might crop up that a claim
is not a "real" one.
