Beg pardon?  Seems to me that people are always saying things like "got this
new rollup in 17, any ideas..."  Not to mention that the netters here are a
helpful group and would be willing to give *him* inside information about the
arena.  I don't think anyone here is petty enough to take this information and
use it against him.

Not really.  In Arena 17, Wiz & I generally know 75-90% of the warrior's styles
at any given time; it just takes a little effort to figure out who's what.  I
have a parry-strike in 29 name Basho Matsuo who is named after a Japanese
haikuist; since not that many people *care* about Japanese haikuists, they
assume he's a basher.  I've also fought a warrior named Happy Slasher (named
after the RSI example) who was a TP.  :)
