It's "fair" because BOTH parties new exactly what they were up against BEFORE
the contest started.
Stop beating a dead horse...if you want to make a 'play' for revamping the

land they know before the contest starts that they are going to be
disadvantaged. You knew it before you decided to invest in 6y1v...
