Re: Here's the GDC we know and love

I see they'd rather spend time making a funny than addressing some serious concerns about bumper rules...

I'm suspecting the 10 seconds they spent thinking and writing that response out, comes out to a wash with the 10 seconds they would have spent citing the rule/ page number and writing it out.. Just a guess

Just like the question about what is under the carpeting (from last year's Q&A). (:

Re: Here's the GDC we know and love

I think the point they are trying to make is "asked, and answered, several times elsewhere". And a fraction of a difference between brand names isn't worth worrying about.

After all, it is the wheels that are making most of the difference in driving dynamics...

Re: Here's the GDC we know and love

I think everyone needs to lay off the GDC a bit. Try and remember what they have to do every year. Creating a new game with a new set of rules is a ridiculos challenge. The tiny difference of material is the least of their worries. Lay off them.

No but we'd really love to get some bumper rule updates, especially since a team who previously thought their bumpers were legal due to poor wording the manual could be told they have to change it or be DQ'd at the regional bot check

They get an immense number of questions DAILY! Many of them I'm sure are about bumpers as much as other things. They are just trying to get the bumper rules right. Just be patient with them, that's all were asking.
