A 10-hour time limit is going to lead to a lot of weird timing scams. Most people are offline for 10 hours at least once a day, so if you can predict when a given person is offline, you can prevent them Reorienting by timing the Spin.

However, the Spin is a communal action, and thus it’s possible to force it to happen early in the UTC day, but not late in the UTC day. So this will give a large advantage to anyone who can be online in the small hours UTC, because they can Reorient at will (by doing the Spinning themself if it hasn’t been done already, then Reorienting if they don’t like the results).

In other words, this proposal gives a disadvantage to the British, especially those with day jobs.

(You could probably partially fix this by changing “10 hours” to a substantially larger value; or simply allow one Reorientation to happen between any two spins of the Wheel.)

In addition to ais’s concerns, what happens if I win three points, spend the points on something else, and then someone undoes the effect? Seems like it could create a lot of messes

Per Clucky. Although there’s not yet a way to spend or alter points, this would discourage us from adding anything like that. Would also deter the invention of complex Segment effects, if they have to be limited to a range of things which can be easily reversed.
