Actually, the rules I'm thinking of includes the idea
that intentionally dismembering an opponent is a DQ
(though if your opponent falls apart when being
slammed around, so be it :-) ).
This actually sounds very much like what I had in
mind, but one-on-one would render the circles
completely meaningless. (Though your game sounds
rather fun to watch, even if you take out the blood;
sort of a cross between sumo and lucha libre...)
Oy, now here's a thought. Mindstorms Lucha Libre.
Mucho carnage. (Time to stop eating the funny-tasting
mushrooms there, Bri...)
