- Frontal conflict between players is not the optimum strategy
- I have to reformulate what I really want before the next battle. So it quenches any emotional overheat.
The fight/bargain relation in Poison'd also. Fights are useful only to kill, not to get what you want. You get what you want from the others using bargains. Frontal conflict is then obviously not the optimal strategy.
