Re: The Noodle Agreement
Thought of this almost as soon as I read the rule, didn't expect I was the only one to think of it, but also didn't expect there to be a thread on CD about it by the time I got home. I think the noodle agreement is an excellent idea and will have to be a standard match arrangement for every qualification match unless somehow and updated patches it out.
Additional point, "The Noodle Agreement" is the best CD thread name I've seen in many a time. |

Re: The Noodle Agreement
The only fix I see is making litter scored in the landfill the same number of points as the litter bonus. And again, this still doesn't completely solve the issue.

Re: The Noodle Agreement
What I would like to know is did the gdc see this coming or was there a loud slap of the head when they learned of it?

In the SF you play each other team once, so even if 3 and 4 only TNA withselves, Rank 1 and 2 still get to TNA with themselves. |
Re: The Noodle Agreement
The only shared space of the field is the STEP. Can anyone think of a use for it in this strategy?

Re: The Noodle Agreement
I think we should take the noodle agreement a step further. How about nobody moves their robot and we dump all our noodles on the floor. That way everyone ends the qualifiers with same score.

Personally, I would have a designated guard robot to protect the noodles for the last few seconds. that robot would sit with the noodles in front of it. If you sense foul play, simply drive forwards. The other robots on you alliance would be unable to go against the agreement because the noodles are protected. You could also agree that if the other alliance touches the noodles after entering play, the deal is off. Both teams get 10+ points for them being in barrels or landfill, etc. |
Re: The Noodle Agreement
Just realized that this "Noodle Agreement" is mutual littering lol. So much for the theme of recycling

Re: The Noodle Agreement
While this strategy is fully valid as outlined in the rules, it does bring up another dilemma. Say a team believes that is against their morals or does not believe that is the intent of the game. If a few teams decide to play the noodle strategy, these other teams will be forced to take part in order to keep up in the points standings, or else risk seeding low.
I don't like this loophole, personally. |
Re: The Noodle Agreement
This basically removes a significant portion of the game. I don't think it was intended, and wouldn't be surprised if there were a rules update invalidating it. I would certainly like such a rules update, because I don't want to have to abandon a potentially interesting part of the game simply because the scoring system has perverse incentives.
