I'll take the action on this one. No holds barred. Only blunt
objects and body parts to be used as weapons. As these two have never
met in person, odds will be established on the basis of polling
information, rumour, and other unreliable usenet information as
provided by YOU, the knowledgeable readers and posters.
Remember, this is a physical battle. Pedro is not permitted to taunt
Rupedski to death and Rupedski can not administer noxious substances or
utilize weapons of mass destruction like particle accelerators or
verbal diarrhea.
We also need a small stadium (somebody's basement will do), some
chainlink fence to make the cage and volunteers to serve beverages and
snacks to the many spectators.
Anybody with first aid training and/or intervention counselling
experience would be welcome. This could get ugly.

I'll wager you $50 that Rupedski agrees to show but PD doesn't.
Of course this could be tricky. You might substitute for Pedro as I
have never met him and have no idea what he looks like. Then you
split the $50 with the imposter or some other such nefarious
arrangement.
Not that I don't trust your motives and everything but I want to make
sure my man is in the cage and not some imposter. You might put Vari
in there. How would I know? Could be Jaros for all I know.

But surely you could also accept wagers on whether or the combatants
will actually appear, should the gamblers here be inclined to bet along
those lines.

I'll put $50 on PD since I don't think Ruped will show. PD then wins by
default, right?

Groundie has the superior academic credentials here so I'll defer to
him. I'd take the bets but without a doctorate and with my lack of
moral fibre I think the bank of Groundchuck might be more reliable ( if

I'm ready with $50. I'll back Rupedski only because I suspect he's mad
enough to fight to the finish without worrying about being maimed.
Also he seems highly motivated to cause bodily harm to Dias.
I can see it now...just like Ali vs Patterson...."What's my name!!?
What's my name!!!?"

I'll happily run a book, but only if I get a guarantee this contest
takes place a la 'mad Max'- '2 men enter. One man leaves'.

I'll bet one of Whisper's houses on Pedro Dias. Rupedski has been posting rather
poorly lately.

Come to think of it, Jaros in a cage with a madman like Rupedski might
be entertaining.

Your concern is legitimate. Say we apply that
where-do-you-fall-on-the-political-spectrum test and throw in a trick
question such as who is more despicable 1) Ralph Reed 2) Jack Abramoff
or 3) Grover Norquist? Jaros' head would explode trying to avoid
picking any of them.
