- Guilty as charged. So, why do we do it? Well, usually I'll go into the
- arcade with another master and we'll challenge each other for as long
- as we can afford it. Once the money supply gets low we're forced to
- fight the computer, so to be fair and avoid boredom we take turns.
- If someone challenges, then the same principal applies. Remember,
- it's a two-edged sword... the guy swapping in has no great advantage,
- sure he's seen you play a round but that's about it. If the challenger
- is worth his (or her) salt he would have observed the two masters
- for a little while anyway. Since we're of more or less equal skill,
- I don't think it's unfair. Certainly not as insulting as trading
- second rounds with a total mega-newbie.
