A question on timing (in General)

In my last fight, I had this result for one round:

Me:
P pulverized T [1527]
P draws strength from his weapon! [307]
P pulverized T [1864]
C takes damage from his own Decay (446)!
C's Decay hit E [391]
M takes damage from his own Fireball (3008)!
M's Fireball hit E[2483], S [2283], PY [3013], PP [250], C [241]

Buckrog:
T mistimed his attack at P
S swung wildly at P
PY takes damage from his own Fireball (1455)!
PY's Fireball hit P [1457], C [1661], E [1316], S [1354]"

R.I.P. M R.I.P. T, PY

I thought all damage was resolved simultaneously?
Surely M should have taken damage from PY's Fireball, meaning less damage for my other two?
Or have I missed the point again?

Its not all simultaneous, AMF damage and drain from ex/axbows goes first, depending on who is attacking who.

If you kill yourself in your part of the round then your opponent doesn't have the chance to do the same again. Your opponent does however have the chance to attack with characters that you might have already killed in your part of that round (for fairness' sake).

Ah right, cheers for that :-)
Is there anywhere that details these 'quirks'? Just so I don't keep bothering people with questions that I could find the answers to all on my own

The WIKI and the Help sections cover a lot of information. Searching the forums will get you a lot of other info. Time consuming but worth it in the end....

But feel free to ask - there's always somebody around who may know...
