Re: You write <G34> and <G35>

Again I have to explain part of my reasoning behind the card system.

SIMPLICITY.

You know. KISS.

It is a lot easier to hold up a card than it is to have a system to disable the robot for a certain period when a foul occurs.

The yellow card doesn't incur a penalty but it put you close to a penalty and carries through to the next round so that discourage overly rough play. The call is also not overly harsh enough that ref will call it when needed and not worry that they may be making a huge mistake. So you get your penalty, easier to call, and are able to discourage teams from certain kinds of play.

I think a 10 second penalty along with the card might be close to too much. And it is way harder to implement. Simplicity.


edit: That's my only problem. I'm trying to make it easy to implement into the game.
