Like I said in my post, the post wasn't meant to be negative. And like Justin has quoted above, the GDC admitted they didn't think about teams utilizing the edge of the bridge. I'm not saying the GDC is saying they aren't pushing teams to think out of the box. I'm saying they admitted that they weren't prepared for a team like 118 (though nobody IS every prepared for 118), and therefore made it illegal. Sort of like the 254/1114 hanging in 2010. Not the GDC's intentions, though if I remember correctly they were ruled legal.
I'm not arguing the legality, and somewhat agree with the ruling, but WHAT they said about it, and there response to 118 was what I was disappointed about.
