Re: What's the best rope?

Quote:
Just remember that G15-C states you can not attach to the field using hook and loop (AKA velcro). When you add your own rope, it becomes part of the field, therefor, you could use velcro as a rope, but you can not attach to it.
I believe the rules in G15 make an exception on the rope so a velcro rope of "loop" and a winch drum with "hooks" would be allowed.

From G15:
Items A-G exclude ROPES installed on an ALLIANCE’S AIRSHIP.
A. Grabbing
B. Grasping
C. Attaching to (including the use of hook-and-loop tape against the FIELD carpet)
D. Grappling
E. Hanging
F. Deforming
G. Becoming entangled
