The disaster movie of the weapons is that with few nickels you       could a lot of damages. Let's look at some figured numbers:              Costs of sanctions              -20 -> -50              Cost of sabotages              -10 -> -100       or       -100 -> -10              So let's suppose sabotages should be compensated by an imaginary law,       at least in the direct and indirect (lose of gains) costs. That put       the stakes high, so high that the imaginary law includes the provision       that revenge never could be more expensive than costs.              Coming back to numbers, that is              -100 <- 0       or       0 -> -100              So adding up all this game, contendants could lose              -130 -160              Not a very clever game, but in addition... someone figure it could be       better arranging a mayor damage, in the order of -200? No at all,       because you are lowering your participation in the differences, which       are the reasons why the contendants are contendants.              Peace.                     --       Beware: nobody will clean that amount of sh              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
