Re: On side ball use agreement.

I cringe every time that I see a thread like this. Any agreement such as this always falls under the classic prisoner's dilemma where it incentivizes betraying the deal, which is inherently violates GP.

In this scenario you benefit from not moving your bin and letting the scored fuel go into your retrevial zone. And since your loading lane is on the other side of the field as your driver station it would be pretty hard to communicate that the other alliance has broken the deal. Giving your even more incentive to cheat.

Just like the noodle agreement in 2015, and the boulder agreement last year (2016) I( would hate for this to become a reality and really, really, really hope this doesn't happen.
