D - [Re: Observers](https://fitssociety.com/forums/reply/observers-13/) - I agree that it is ambiguous, at best.

People would still climb, they just wouldn't move as far. Something more like losing 50' of altitude for every square you turn in would be more on target.

If I were the god of the skies I'd rule that D.2 is used, except during tournaments were D.1 can be used at the judges option. - [Re: House Rule Discussion - Jams on Short Bursts](https://fitssociety.com/forums/reply/house-rule-discussion-jams-on-short-bursts-2/) - I prefer to stick with Edition 7 rules in this case. Why? My feeling in general is that we have too many house rules. House rules are fine if they're addressing an exploit or playability, but that's not the case here. - [Re: House Rule Discussion - Jams on Short Bursts](https://fitssociety.com/forums/reply/house-rule-discussion-jams-on-short-bursts-4/) - I will vote with the group here and go with D.2 Stick to 7th edition and pray pray pray for 8th edition...but not hold breath! - [Re: House Rule Discussion - Jams on Short Bursts](https://fitssociety.com/forums/reply/house-rule-discussion-jams-on-short-bursts-3/) - I like D1 - [Re: UPDATED -- Online "House Rules" -- July 5, 2014](https://fitssociety.com/forums/reply/updated-online-house-rules-july-5-2014/) - I have a new rule proposal to apply for both virtual DP and regular DP In the event an ENTIRE team (they shall be called, "The Confused Team") rolls for aircraft on the wrong table, proceed as follows: -The Honest team gets a full round surprise attack on The Confused Team. -The Honest team then - [Re: UPDATED -- Online "House Rules" -- July 5, 2014](https://fitssociety.com/forums/reply/updated-online-house-rules-july-5-2014-2/) - TJ, obviously this is a completely hypothetical example.
