Re: Petition: Lower technical foul values to make this game better

No. The OP cited G40 specifically, and safety rules are ones that shouldn't ever lend themselves to strategic decisions ("if I play in such a way that I might violate this rule, I'd still statistically have a chance at an advantage"). The GDC addressed the "pinkie" problem with their update last week. Students who grudgingly accept that they can lose a game by putting their hand in the arena, and thus will try to avoid the penalty (and the wrath of their alliance partners) are students who are NOT losing an arm to a fast-moving machine. I've seen industrial accidents and this game definitely has the potential to produce one. Keep the 50 points.
