No, I just meant it would affect the pronouns. "Gladys wields his weapon"
grates, somehow.

And I was just stating that the "top" gladiators have inaccurate stats
due to all the flaws in the system. Why not scratch the fighting records,
and start from a clean slate (if you've got a good gladiator, you'lll soon
be top again).

P.S. Gladys lost her weapon in her second fight. She's been doing
extremely well in hitting people, and they've been doing extremely well
in ignoring her hits. C'est la guerre.
