      This is simply not true. The levers are connected to the gates

      *in front of* the players there. Having no effect on the opponent's gate.
     
     
 I looked at the map, and you are correct.  But the behaviour I describe did
happen to me.  And this was done by running 2 clients at the same time, not
through a theoretical approach.

 I wonder if I got my windows mixed up, because I just tried it now, and it does
work.

 However, there is still a potential problem in that one player (the first to
pull the lever and move) can get stuck if the other player never enters the
arena (say quits the game, his connection dies, etc).  But I'm going to send out
another message on that.

      There is a break-away wall to get in/out when the spikes are closed. Should

 Yeah - I didn't look as hard as I should have.  OTOH, if that is there, whats
really the point of the gate closing behing then?  Dramatic effect?

      2) One player bails out with word of recall during the enter-mechanism.

 Note that doesn't really help if the trapped player doesn't have word of recall
anyways.
