ARN - Advantages

[edward cantu]

(emerging from the cloud of fog where he usually "lurks")
cough.....cough...

well, i believe "fair/disadvantage" is in the eye of the beholder.
(wow...save that one for a fortune cookie)

if you want to look at equity of circumstances, everyone should be measured 
for their reach, compensated for the skill level, and adjusted for their 
natural talents.  with those standards, Don Miguel and i would square off 
and i would need a "vorpal schlager" and "boots of springing and striding"  
(excuse the D&D ref.) and Don Miguel on his knees, blindfolded, both hands 
tied behind his back, ear and nose plugs and a used, slightly-moistened 
toothpick for a weapon.  (and he'd still be favored)

seriously (actually, the above is probably true) i find that i base my sense 
of "fair" on "was the contest completed without any participant KNOWINGLY 
using "something" to their advantage. so while an experienced fighter has 
"extra" skills or experience they should not have any equipment or other 
physical/environmental advantages not available to the opponent(s).  hmmm..i 
guess it's like obscenity.... i know it when i see it.
