[Ansteorra] ransoming

[Jean Paul de Sens]

Sorry Cynric, I realized my statement conveyed the generic gist that "all
tournaments with a ransom component have a higher violence level", but was
going for the "the deeds of arms I have participated in recently had ransoms
and an elevated violence level".

I apologize for the mis-statement.
