Seriously though; there are plenty of gray areas but there are some areas that are not gray. Some may be:
- I cannot see any situation where collusion between alliances can be excused or condoned.
- I cannot see any situation where putting robots at unnecessary risk can be condoned
Probably an oversimplification but if you think its a bad strategy to balance don't do it.
I think balancing at the expense of winning (e.g. you are down by 5 pts and you balance on the middle bridge rather than on your own) is about the dumbest idea ever but that is just me.
