As someone who's been trained in a martial art, "accidental" death isn't an
issue. There's a reason why it's called "training" (and I know I'm preaching
to a knowledgeable choir here). My own personal hesitation in getting into
fighting hasn't been the background. My training revealed that I am a
genuine Celtic berserker. Get me to bleed and cause me pain, and a red mist
comes over my eyes and the rest of the fight is lost. I never learned to
control it; however, my experiences in fencing lead me to believe either this
game's safe enough that it won't happen (you guys would probably either cause
me pain *or* make me bleed a little, but not both together) or I've mellowed
enough in my years that I've outgrown it.

Just in case: HINT: if I go berserk, everyone in the list drop and play
unconscious. No targets, no fight (and yes, it does confine itself to a
defined combat arena; I never attacked people who weren't sparring). From
what I've seen, experienced, and been told, I doubt that it would happen.
 Hence, I'll see some of you in the list, sometime.... :-)
