How can you call it a dubious(?) strategy? It was written plain as day in bold letters that once a game piece is scored it is scored for the remainder of the match. Also there was nothing in the rules that states that you can’t move your own game pieces.

Here is the deleted rule: Once a GAME PIECE has been released by the POSSESSING ROBOT (even momentarily) and is HANGING (e.g. it is fully supported by the PEG), it is considered to be HANGING until the end of the match.

The GDC needs to stop changing the rules in an attempt to get the game to be played how they think it should be played and let the game be played how they originally wrote the rules. I think it isn’t GP on GDC’s part to make changes to the rules that affect the design of robots this late in the season. They are saying we don’t care about the time and effort you put into this program “we want the game played this way”. I am fine if they want to clarify rules, but to completely delete them is not right. Also making changes with 3 weeks left is not acceptable. Thanks for wasting my time GDC.
