There was a small problem in the function that decremented a player's
combat ranking by one. Instead of properly decreasing your rating, it
actually took the numeric id of the item you were wielding in your left
hand, subtracted one, and set that as your combat rating.

Amusing? Yes. Working as intended? Not entirely.

I've fixed it, and restored everyone's combat rating to its proper value
as determined by the last combat spar you've participated in. If you
participated in a spar during the time that your combat rating was
improperly inflated (or deflated), please let me know via a message so
that I can fix it for you.

Penned by my hand on the 17th of Aequitas, in the year 476 AD.
