[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8265551, member: 6801228"] I'm reminded of something that I read once on a thread about making a goddess of commoners, poison and fate. The idea of a "fair fight" is a lie perpetuated by the strong. Of course the Knight with his hundreds of hours of martial training, high-grade armor that protects him from harm and expensive weapon that can kill a man with a single blow wants a "fair fight" in a 1v1 match in an open field against a man with no training, no weapons, and no armor. Heck, he'll even give the noobs weapons and armor, it isn't like the guy knows how to use them. Using traps, ambushes and poisons is perfectly fair. These are things that can level the playing field between the weak and the strong. And so, why label fighting smart as being "cowardly" when the only people who can afford to be "brave" in a life or death situation are those who are more powerful than their peers. Call me a coward all you want, my goal is to live and get home to my family, not die so someone else can claim I did "the honorable thing" by fighting someone ten times my weight and triple my size swinging a weapon bigger than my entire body. That's just giving the big guy exactly what he wants. [/QUOTE]
