Well I'm certianly not going to choose you as the weakest link... I'd say valued contributor frames it nicely <g>

>From Rodericks' post:

<<Joe the Actor has a Rank 5 greatsword, Jim the Opponent has Rank 3 armor. Joe bids 5 AP. If Joe wins his bid is calculated as 7 AP (5 AP bid, plus (5-3= ^2) from weapon ranks). Jim will lose 7, 14 or 21 AP, on on a 1x, 2x or 3x result. If Joe loses his bid is calculated as 5 AP (bid only, the ranks are ignored). Joe will lose 5, 10 or 15 AP.>>

So edges get ignored when figuring how much the bidder looses.
