I'm suggesting that you should get full points for the tower, but you don't get the bonus for building it all (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I used to be kind of against this, because I'm sick of loophole pokers (Steve, JeffE, I'm looking in your direction...) but the thing is, we have better things to do than to try and outrule everyone.

What if we said that a 'bot could enter if it could only scan the Connect 4 board, or drop a chip anywhere and still be counted (though, so I'm told, that's what some of them did) The event is block stacking.
