In the rule “Routes”, change
This moves the Route to the bottom of the list, makes it Inactive, and, if that Route was Active and the Driver did not Avoid it, causes them to get the effects, if any, described in the subrule corresponding to that Route.

This moves the Route to the bottom of the list and makes it Inactive. Subrules of this rule may specify events that happen upon Driving a route, but those effects do not happen unless the route was Active before it was driven.
Change the values of GNDT-tracked gamestate to the values they would have if non-Active routes had never had any effect when Driven, and the effects of each Route had only happened once on each occasion it was Driven while Active.
Rule 2.3 specifies that Driving a route causes its effects to happen. Its subrules, the way that they’re written also specify that Driving a route causes something to happen, in the definition of the effect. This has two effects:
- Pretty unambiguously, driving an Inactive or Blocked route causes its effects to happen, because rule 2.3’s subrules say so, and are not overriden anywhere (as rule 2.3 only defines effects of driving an Active Route).
- More controversially, I think it’s reasonable (most reasonable?) to read 2.3 as causing the effects of a route to happen if it’s driven while active, in addition to its subrules causing them to happen, i.e. driving a route causes its effects to happen twice.
As a result, the gamestate’s pretty unintentionally screwed up right now, and the actual gamestate is very exploitable and grindy (with the best strategy being to hit all your double-dailies and get Cash from each of them); and rather than scamming this, I’d prefer if it were just fixed and reverted. Given that nobody noticed this earlier, the GNDT is currently incorrect but in the desired gamestate; so this CFJ, although it changes the gamestate, shouldn’t require adjusting the GNDT, and I suggest we just play as if the rules were right all along.
