Re: oops...more hirudo sh!t

Sheesh. I'll play you a rate 100 anything against a rate 100
hirudo (using my rules) and I'll wager it won't even be close
to the masacre that you think it will be. Hirudo are _NOT_
killers. I've gone on Hirudo (current writeup variety) hunts
against a small group of hirudo all over rate 50 and the major
one well over 100... and we won. Hirudo are solo killers. A 
group has nothing to fear from them.
