Re: Coopertition - Not As Easy As It Looks!

If you're going to do it, at least do it the right way. Get to the bridge first, tip it towards you, and stay on it so no one else can get on. Not everyone will agree with what you're doing, but they will understand why you did it, and not throw hatred at you. I would much rather you do this, and be transparent about it, as opposed to the underhanded alternatives."
Or, you know, if you're against cooperation, just leave the bridge ALONE.

I'd consider intentionally blocking the bridge for someone who might want to go on it a form of coercion.
