Assuming that you're all using the exact same set of
attributes/capabilities. In most MMOs it'd be perfectly acceptable
for JC to beat Ed, Ed to beat you, and you to beat JC due to
strengths and weaknesses that one set of attributes/capabilities may
have against another set of attributes/capabilities.
