either you accept that some races are overwhelmingly good at fighting and

stop calling your headless bullmans with ghostly horns levitating where once
was a head "minotaurs". those aren't minotaurs, you can draw all the nice
The name of the new race was done according to our rules: we took BatMud's
official Keyboard of Naming, and woke up one of our highly untrained monkeys.
After moment of deep distraction, the monkey started to type. Everybody was
anxious about the new name.
After our monkey stopped typing (it didn't see the display), we checked the
result. The new race was to be called 202-456-1414. Unfortunately our GD
doesn't like numbers in race names. And the monkey was craving fo a banana.
After sedative banana we took a second trial, and the result was "minotaur".
So the race is called that name. Maybe the gods of random will give next race
a name that you like better. In the meantime, it is your task to accept the
races, their names and their characteristics.
