Proposal: In and Out the Back Door

In “The Back Door”, change

When this action is performed, until the next Break-In action has completed, the specified Spot is considered to connect to “Grounds” for the purpose of determining whether Routes submitted by Burglars are complete.

When this action is performed, until the next Break-In action has completed, the specified Spot is considered to connect to “Grounds” for the purpose of determining whether Routes submitted by Burglars are complete, as long as that lettered Spot appears at least twice in that Route.

Yet another fix suggestion for the 100% Burglar strategy. Normal routes that use Back Doors will probably use them twice – once to enter and once to leave – so this disallows the Back Door + Quick + Distraction snipe strategy via requiring the Burglar to stay around longer, whilst not meaningfully stopping anything else.

JonathanDark’s fix might well get voted down – and even if it isn’t, it’ll just fix the problem of “the Burglars have a 100% strategy” without fixing the problem of Quick+Distraction+Back Door snipes being overwhelmingly better than the other possible strategies. (It would seem to hurt more normal strategies even more than it hurts the snipe.)

using all your resources to snipe something that might not be there isn’t gonna be a winning strategy most of the time

arrow This fix seems good too, but it also conflicts with Kevan’s rewrite of Preparation Actions, which has now been enacted.
