    In a four person tailing chain. Player B tails A. B is tailed by C and C is tailed by D. A reverses B. B reverses C. C does not reverse D. How is this chain resolved?

    This sounds like one of those tough 9th grade math problems haha!

    I believe it would go-
    A- does initial move
    B- would finish their entire move and may not target A
    C- would finish their entire move and may not target B
    D- does initial move
    A- finishes
    D- finishes

    A does their maneuver.
    B does their maneuver.
    C does their maneuver.
    D does their maneuver.
    C completes their move.
    B completes their move.
    A completes their move.
    D completes their move.

    A does their maneuver.
    B does their maneuver.
    C does their maneuver.
    D does their maneuver.
    C completes their move.
    B completes their move.
    A completes their move.
    D completes their move.

    Can I ask why? I like to understand the logic behind the answer. Makes it easier to add it to future situations. If you don’t mind….

    Whether anyone was reversed or not, everyone completes their maneuver before any one goes on to step two to finish their move. (A, B, C, D)

    If no one was reversed the finish would be done in the same order as the maneuvers. (A, B, C, D)

    When someone is reversed, they have to finish before the person who reversed them. So if A reverses B the order of finish becomes B, A, C, D.

    From that sequence, if B reverses C, C has to finish before B so the order becomes C, B, A, D.

    No matter how many people are involved in a tailing chain, reduce the change to the minimum necessary. The person who was reversed has to finish before the person who reversed him no one else has to change movement order no matter who they’re tailing.
