Talking Re: TNA Blacklist

Andrea....I love the names "pasta pledge ponderers," and "spaghetti covenants or pacts." (Should the existing, IMHO poorly but, maybe not intentionally contrived, "Litter Rules" survive until the competition weeks, of course). (Agree TNA? The "Full Monte" or the "Half/Half?" OK, ALL 6 OF US AGREE "Full Monte" this time folks, so.....Let's ALL make GREAT Pasta Together Teams! Please remember...No "RUSHING to Recycle!" this time guys).

So, a fully contrived & completed (TNA) agreement that scores "Less than Max Pasta Points" (40 Points max each, w/all 20 "LITTERS" on the floor on the 2 ends, all scored as Unprocessed Litter every time....The mere "Pasta Drop"), for both Alliances could be referred to as "a Successful Italian Meal" or better yet, just...."The Full Monte."

Wherein, and as opposed to, the half derived & completed TNA "Half Elbow Mac/Half Angelhair" or shortened to "Half&Half" (that is actually higher scoring, but takes a bit more design, engineering, manual dexterity, planning & work, and a ton more trust & success)...The we keep 5 Litter each to use in building full point stacks (30 Points max each alliance), you keep 5 Litter to do the same (30 Points max each each alliance), and we both litter our field ends w/ the other 5 each (20 points max each)=50 Points per Alliance Possible (Total 100 points each match)....Could be referred to as simply we made great "Mac & Cheese" together, or we each grabbed "The Complete Pasta Casserole!" that time, yeeehawwwww!......Or, more simply put "Man, We sure Pigged out on the Pasta today!" So, Lets' all (the entire Alliance), meet up after the Finals tonight for dinner at "The Pasta Factory!" (For those scoring perfect TNA's of less than Max Past Points all day)....

Or, you could simply substitute -Let's Meet up tonight at "The Olive Garden!" for those "Scoring Max Pasta Points Throughout The ENTIRE Playoffs, for the Championship Alliance!"

So, no blacklisting would ever be necessary whatsoever (and would seem very NOT GP posted or publicly tracked anywhere/or at any time folks).

(ALL here is Tongue in Cheek...Mainly )
__________________________
Just add to TBA (The Blue Alliance), and/or TRA (The Red Alliance).....

Willing TNA (Team #'s, Attempts) Not Willing TNA (Team #'s Attempts), Attempted & Failed )Those "TNA Willing" could add their names to the lists ahead of any competition and go on record publicly as "Willing" ahead of time.
-MPP Attempts/Scored
+MPP Attempts/Scored
-MPP Failed Attempts (fought over pasta).
+MPP Failed Attempts (fought over pasta).
"Dropped The Pasta Pan" (for those attempting min/max TNA Pasta Points and just somehow willing, but situationally failing to complete with total effort output presented) (Team #'s).....or.....simply...

"Burned The Water" (For those agreeing, and INTENTIONALLY going back on any agreement w/ full video evidence & signed contract presented therewith (Team #) LOL. Doing so, and listing a team as "Team XXXX "Burned The Water" on 5 (and the rest), of us today (at a Week Zero, Regional, District, Champs in the Q's, Playoff's/Finals, etc.), and without absolute concrete evidence (not really possible folks, without a self admissed written or recorded statement, or other really concrete evidence, as to an evidentiary admission of pure absolute guilt), would seem to be Not intended FIRST Representative, of the VERY Important mission of GP). WWWD? (What Would Woody Do?) I know that answer....He'd Put GP above all else, IMHO!

Just kidding on "Burned The Water", as that would still be GP non-grata! IMHO.

GDC...Please "Burn The Water" for all of us....By quickly & simply fixing "The Great 2015 TNA Pasta Dilemma" ASAP......We need no "pasta pledge ponderering," and "spaghetti covenants or pacts" in FIRST FRC's "Recycle RUSH!"

It was a great lesson in the "Prisoners' Dillemma", and a nice Social & Moral and a necessary Ethics Experiment (while working within a published unchangeable -by the players at least- ruleset)....But, it really won't make for a really fair & fun designing, building, and competing robot competition as published right now, and could create many instances of non-GP across the community to rear it's not so pretty head(s).

Just look at some of the discussions so far for any proof necessary...Posts & threads here on CD w/ the words "Blacklisting FRC Teams?" in them.....REALLY?) OUCH.
