[Rq-rules] *** JUNK MAIL ***Re: Lions and Midgets

[Styopa]

I think the question revolves entirely around the number able to engage the
lion.  Yes, 40 people (even small ones) swinging, kicking, and biting would
eventually drag the lion down.

But the lion's got a move of at LEAST 5, the midgets 2.  That means that,
even in a little roofed circus ring-cage, the lion's going to attack whom he
wants, when he wants and doesn't have to stick around for the meal (that
comes later).

Put it in a coliseum and the midgets have utterly NO chance.

Circle, (and assuming none of the midgets gets left behind the pack, which
would be immediate suicide), pounce, rend, leap clear....rinse, repeat.
Each lunge killing at least 2 or 3, perhaps more.
