Well explained and confirmed: Natador exited from his home side


So this means that if you exit from your home side at any time during a game you do not pay the penalties for a non-honourable exit.

So in a league if you get a lead greater than 15%, you fly off your baseline and get a win and points.

That needs sorting as that is not how the rules read at all. It states that "if you leave the playing area" and in the original game you could not fly off anywhere except your own baseline. Therefore by inference "leaving the playing area" could only refer to running away home to base.

I understand that this may be a programmer's nightmare - sorting code so it can be determined whether it is honourable or not - but I do not want to spend my time playing people who hog their baseline, get one shot at me then fly off claiming victory and points. That would be so utterly boring I would leave the site.



Perhaps leaving the board dishonourably should (for league games) count as if the plane is NOT still on map for determining if the game is a marginal victory or not. Would that be enough to make the difference? They might still get the 'best pilot' league points but the victory would be worth more league points.
