Fanatics in Development

[GalakStarscraper]

And since Ian never contradicted my explanation on why a Fanatic HAS to use all of his movement ... that's good enough for me to take that as tactic agreement.

Er... I did - but it was about a week after the last post in the thread.

Repeat this process until the player runs out of normal movement

Repeat ... UNTIL

It doesn't say Repeat ... UNTIL you decide not to move anymore.

It say Repeat ... UNTIL player runs out of normal movement.

Think of it like a computer program. There is no option in that Repeat .. Until clause to break out by choice.

I realize I'm a computer programmer for a living ... but I honestly do not see how the Repeat ... Until clause gives any indication of being able to choose to stop early.

When we changed the Ball & Chain text this was the intent ... but even ignoring that I 100% know what the goal was ... there is no way at all if one is reading the Repeat ... Until that they should find an option of choosing to stop.

However ... sicne we are back here again ... fine.

For LRB 6.0 we can make it read "You MUST repeat this process until the player runs out of normal movement".

I still think a logical reading of the repeat ... until ... automatically includes the "You MUST" clause ... but we can get it added in.

I've no problems clearing up the wording and making it that you have to keep moving, however I think the wording is ambiguous as it stands and we do need that clarification.

For me the key thing is that the movement section states you can use as much or as little movement as you want and that isn't being explictly overridden. So an implict override isn't really sufficient.

Frankly the Looney and the Bomber are the two Secret Weapons you don't bother having on roster. You've better off with inducing Nobbla

The on-roster Looney is cheap and you can reroll kickback without worrying about Loner, so I think he is worth having on the team. You can always hire Nobbla as well so you have two Chainsaws!

1st question: I'd take Grab over MB. More blocks is the key.

Double skill: Block (probably won't get a 2nd but Tackle if he did).

2nd question (re movement): above my pay grade, no comment.

3rd question.
No rostered bomber in a league. Tournies (HMP) are a different matter...
Rostered looney for reroll of kick backs.

Must use all MA was the ruling I gave at the GT, which was from a reading of the skill, and both the coaches involved were happy with it.
