Tell that to Zyzak.

So far the death rate for war lords is 50% which is certainly far above
that for less violent players. And it might reach a 100% any month as
I'm afraid some day Dr Pain will meet a violent end too, no matter how
cleverly he tries to prevent that - he has just made too many enemies.
Of course the second most likely outcome for him is that he'll become
emperor of Olympia. :-) But as I said, rewards and risks balance each
other.
