I agree with this and I am one of the ones getting more than 3/day.  However,
I think the way to do it is run the arena 3 or 4 times a day instead of every
hour.  And continue to let the multiple challenges take place.

There is really nothing that can be done to stop this except not allow fights
between characters from the same site.  This would be a shame.  There are three
of us here playing and we like to fight for bragging rights.  Of course, you

FYI, if you want a good fight, Hawkeye is your man.  He and Ozzymodo went at
it for 8 rounds and he just wore me down with superior tactics.  Very nice.
Also, everybody knows Thor is numero uno, not thud0.
