You’re suddenly a superstar athlete making tens of millions of dollars. I think we have to disqualify you from the game on those grounds.

That’s exactly what it was. But the sheer odds of them settling on my house the same day as I worked a game a fair distance away at a park that happened to be in their path to their new home? Pretty fucking high.

I don’t think our points are mutually exclusive. Small sites can be shitty while the trend remains that sites get shittier as they get bigger.

Just to add to this, being selective about which card(s) you use and maximizing bonus points can lead to some pretty significant travel benefits.

I’m not big on elected judges. I’d rather keep them appointed so they wouldn’t have to pander to anyone.

I seem to remember the official explanation being that they’re not that far apart, but that the holodeck can use perspective tricks to seamlessly make them seem that far apart. You could run away from someone in one direction and never hit the wall while things shrink and enlarge to make you seem far away from your companions.
