2. Who do you think would do well or badly at this, and why?

Depending on who else is involved ... If bets are being taken, I'd put 

my

money on Nabiki; her cutthroat business sense could be a big asset. 

Also

Kunou Tatewaki, the descendant of samurai (something which frequently 

gets

overlooked in his characterizations), who probably - given his own
attention to his ancestry - has made some study of the arts of warfare 

on

other than a personal/individual level.
	Who'd do badly? Don't let Kasumi or Kodachi into the game unless
you want them to get walked on by practically everyone else. x.x Kasumi
*could* be a surprise, but I'm not going to wager on it ...

Actually, in my experience, Kasumi-types (or those who can do a good job 
of acting like a Kasumi-type) tend to either win or last most of the 
game, espectially if most of the other players are men.  No matter how 
enlightened and modern we are, we _still_ can't bring ourselves to 
attack someone like that.  And since she is so sweet that she won't 
attack anyone else, by the time it's down to just her and one other 
player, that other player is going to take one look at Kasumi's totally 
untapped resources and resign.  

Seriously, I've seen it before.

 and Kodachi is

just too nuts to stay in the game without either cheating, or just 

going

postal. (Erm ... my apologies to any diehard Kodachi fans out there.
^_^;;)
	Other possibilities: Soun and Genma, the shogi players. If either
of them is actually any good at shogi, that skill could extend to other
strategy-oriented games. Oh ... and Ranma *might* come out with a 

couple

of surprises if the game lasts long enough; give the guy/girl credit 

for

intelligence, if nothing else. :)
