There is no rule against having tube manipulators either. So you are saying it would be OK for the GDC next week to outlaw those? And ramps the week after?

The GDC is setting a dangerous precident here by stating in the Q&A that there is no rule against it (therefore tacidly accepting the strategy) and then outlawing it 3 weeks into the competition AFTER a team successfully used the strategy.

Personally, I think Wildsatg and their alliance partners should share the Xerox creativity award for useing such a unorthodox strategy successfully.

But thats JMHO.
