Shoot, I forgot the lanes were opposite color to the nearest key. Good point.

Not too sure about the whole penalty tactic. I feel like there will be some sort of rule update to deal with that. Trying to intentionally penalize the enemy just isn't in the spirit of the game, and even if it's permitted under the current rules, I wouldn't count on it staying that way.
