  I highly dislike the new CHALLENGE + command 138wins 88losses all
in less than 6hours that is outragous!!
 I never used a program I used specfic challenges for my fast
advancement to (47-14) Zangora the Amazon.
 And I am sure those near me in ranking will agree with me that this
CHALLENGE + command has caused things to get out of control. I
thought it was suppose to be 1fight an hour? But yet someone has
fought 222bouts already.
 I just feel this thing is a runnaway train.
