Xavier... You claim that I defy the barriers of realism? Tap had been claimed by Flaw before you set hoof near her, claimed without words. Flaw was there first, I'm sorry. Poor Tap gets bit because she refuses to be claimed without challenge from her stallion.. Poor horsey. How many stallions bite a mare when they don't get what they want?

On the subject of the message.. Perhaps you did not read mine clearly, perhaps it was a mistake, or perhaps it was a rebelious refusal to accept. Xavier should already have been lame, the 1000 pounds of stubbern mare had been driven into his knees. And now realism allows an equi to vanish from sheer speed? I think not... Have you ever sen a horse race? Even while the horse in front leads, the one trailing can catch up to defeat the leader. When you abandon realism, you grant the freedom of the other you reply to to do the same. But I have broken no rule, I have not powerplayed or chosen the move of your horse. I have simply applied the logic that a galloping horse, when bumped, will become unbalanced. And a joint stripped of muscle and cartilidge will indeed insure permonent handicap.. Ask your doctor. I assure you I read the rules carefully and none of my actions decided your charactor for you. Not once did I say the result, I implied it, and had you the graciousness to admit you had lost, you would have accepted it.

It is so unrealistic that a mare protest to a bite? Maybe true, a mare would not react the same, but this is role-playing, and as accurate as it is to realism, there is always the allowance for the intellegence of the player to come fourth. How many stallions would be selective of mares? The mind of a horse is simple. It wants food, water, and the chance to reproduce. A stallion claim any free mare and mate any mare within his heram (in heat), he would not judge her.

And truely within a wild herd, it is the alpha mare who leads the heram. Thus, is the mare who is dominant over the stallion unless of time of mating or protection.

You flaunt only ignorance with the pitiful prayer you have of forcing me flounder.
