Um, well, er, yeah, I guess it is kinda high. I don't generally *try*
  for kills, tho. Let's see, one came from my mutant PR who I was
  running 10-10-10 L for a few turns before DAing him. This was my
  first few turns before I knew anything. One came from a lucky shot
  by a PS who went the way of the DA a few turns ago.

As for the other two, they came from my 21 strenth basher. It's not
  too hard for him to put someone from merely desperate to dead in
  one swing. As far as my current stable goes, I only have the basher
  now. I don't advise anyone who is a reasonable match to go up against
  him, he tends to kill by accident. He's 5-5-2 right now. He's the
  only one of my original 5 that I've kept around, the rest were really
  bad designs, made before I knew anything. He's not a great design,
  but that strength keeps him viable for now.

I've only tried to kill once. That was a bloodfeud. My basher vs. a
  much more experienced lunger (this was before I knew that a basher
  shouldn't even try to face a lunger). The first time I got beaten in
  one long minute of pain, but the lunger was nearly exhausted by the
  end. So I challenged again, this time wearing APA and F, and going
  big time defensive for the first minute, and attacking the second.
  Still got hit alot the first minute, but managed to stay upright
  long enough for the lunger to wear out, then the kill was pretty
  easy in two hits.

I've yet to be the most avoided team, tho.
