You know what they say:  Live by the sword...

In some future version, (heh heh) you could add a SUBMIT command that will
force the gladiator to give up if he reaches some level of damage.  That way,
people can protect their favorites (although they will probably throw more
fights this way).

You could do this at the same time you're implementing the FAVORITE FOOD
command I suggested in e-mail...
