Can someone explain to me why "+2/-2" is better - as an incentive to avoid unprocessed litter, and also eliminate the benefit of TNA - than "-4"?
Negating TNA would require a zero difference or equation.....Noodle (Unprocessed Litter) is worth +4 to the opposing alliance...simply put, 20 noodles dumped is worth +40/+40 or 80 points split (software changes cost money & time), changing rules. +2/-2 each is still 4 points.

But, dump 20 noodles (Unprocessed litter using the +2/-2 penalty, Unprocessed litter still worth 4 points a each....only you dump 10 on your side +2X10=20 points & -2X10=-20 points equals ZERO GAIN for each side & alliance....Noodle Dilemma gone like the wind...NO TNA (The Noodle Agreement)=FULLY RECYCLED & only a minor scoring code software change.

It is the easiest solution....And I'm a lazy man looking to fully negate the foolish possibility of TNA and have each pc. of Litter still be worth the same math amount as designed by the GDC.

-4 is another solution, but the GDC made it +4 for a reason....Recycling LITTER IS IMPORTANT in RECYCLE RUSH.
