Re: Poll: Picking up tubes

the GDC was fully intending to have the 84" rule since the mistake in the first place was a typo, was it not?

Floor loading I think will be critical to this year's game as one major strategy for racking up points. If your team can floor-load effectively and avoid/push defense then travel time can be cut by half with the presence of human players with an adept ability for throwing the tubes precisely and consistently. Safe zones are not much of a haven if you cannot enter them or exit them without losing time due to defense. Overall I think this is a matter of compatibility with strategies and abilities of yours and the other alliances to see what way of obtaining tubes is best, floor-loading is one game plan out of the pile.
