Number six has actually become two different rules over time, not one like I previous said below. It has evolved into the no Fridge Magic rule and the Reaction rule. Fridge Magic is basically uncanny luck that a character has, being able to avoid hits that should've hit him or getting out of situations that he shouldn't be able to. The Reaction rule is letting other players react to your choices. Like you said this usually comes into play during fights between characters. The correct thing to do is write is like your examples above, where it lets the other user react to your move. Writing in a way that doesn't let the other character react is highly annoying to the other person.

So basically you have to let your character be hit or suffer a bit from time to time, he can't avoid everything, and you have to let other people have a chance to react to you.
