When I went out to Estrella War XII I did notice something peculiar.  The
rumours I had heard about folks out there hitting too/hard taking too (sound
familiar??) were totally unfounded.  Sure, there were some thick ones
around, but I avoid those types.  All in all, they were calibrated about
like we are here.  I had no problems.

As for the notion that Atlantians are thick, I have to disagree.  I've heard
names of Atlantians who are  considered to be thick, and to be honest,
*I've* never had a problem with their calibration.  I've fought them and
*if* I can hit them with a "standard" blow, they take it.
