Biggest problem I have with this is that there's some "rich get richer" to it.  The victor 
already has an advantage in that e has more time than the victim; the victim has to 
claw eir way back from whatever godfersaken corner I stick em in.  That's time in 
which the victor can collect cards and beef emself up.  And while I'm not going to 
comment on the observed strategies of players in the game, I will say that the fact 
that we've actually had a killing indicates it's not all hiding in a corner.

Anyone wanna pick a side here?
