HAL 9000 vs. Anonymous, per EA.

We don't have any formal rule for declaring multi-man battles unfair, so I'd like to propose one. I think that if you can give a solid argument for a match-up between any two combatants in a multi-man battle being unfair, then it should qualify for deeming the whole battle as unfair. It doesn't really matter if there are other combatants in between that the weakest warrior might possibly be able to hold his own against, it's still a scenario in which the weakest warrior is destined to ultimately lose no matter what, just like for one-on-one battles.

Assuming this to be a valid method, I OshBosh's Halloween special. Jack Torrance is, to my awareness, a regular human being with no real combat training and no supernatural ability. Just an alcoholic that went insane. Now compare that to Pious Augustus, a trained soldier who was able to fight off hordes of zombies and got transformed into an undead Liche and has magical power. I believe that such a match-up is unfair, making the battle as a whole unfair.
