Re: Off Side Penalty?

But if you were to do this I would only push the dead bot so far as to barely put it over the line so the opposing alliance won't see that it is past the line.

mmm for strategy
While I may never have thought of using this strategy, it is none-the-less a legitimate strategy. I thinke everyone bashing Dj should stop, I mean think of last year, and how many people would try to get intentional 30 point penalties called against the other alliance. It happened more then most would like to admit I am affraid. Although I do agree with Amy's post about it not counting against the alliance due to the rule where the opposite alliance caused the infraction.
