So far, ~30% of the people that voted designs have been affected.
Week 2, big deal. Week 5, something needs to happen.

We weren't the only ones. The linked post contains a Q&A posted prior to the one that inspired this thread. We as with several other teams saw items in the Q&A headed in a certain direction and
ASKED QUESTIONS to get legitimate answers from the GDC rather than go with something that might violate the rule. Be glad you learned about this now rather than at your first regional and where you would be prevented from competing. In the real world requirements change and you have to adapt, that's all this is. You should have reached the same conclusions we did if you read the Q&A. All 177 did was to ask the question and propse what we thought was a reasonable solution. The GDC disagreed with us so we changed our design to meet their requirements. The difference is we (and about 5 other teams if read the Q&A) asked and wanted it in a team update, because there are people who don't read the Q&A and will miss something this significant.
