Re: The "noodle agreement" is back! Now the defense agreement.

Putting aside the question of whether this makes any sense as a strategy, I'm not sure shooting boulders in your own tower reduces its strength. Section 3.1.4 says
Quote:
Each BOULDER scored in a GOAL decreases the TOWER’S STRENGTH by one (1).
Since you don't get points for shooting boulders in your goal, it might not count as "scoring," and therefore not reduce its strength.

EDIT: Actually, upon looking over the rules I think what I say here may be incorrect. I'm now inclined to think that scoring in your own goal gives the opposing alliance points, and damages your tower as well.
