Ordinary Day

Actually, it's not. One of the dirty little secrets is that Famine is a complete joke - Famine's big attack is making you starve to death very, very slowly. If you are Satiated when you meet Famine (and why wouldn't you be?), you have at least 1,000 nutrition units between you and Fainting; Famine drains a princely 40-79 units per hit, can only hit you with hunger once per move, and moves at normal speed. Each K-rat you can chow down (taking one of your moves, and you should be Fast or Very Fast at this point) restores 400 units. To starve to Famine takes real work, especially given that an endgame player can slice and dice Famine's hitpoints away in 2-3 moves.
