Maybe I missed this one and someone has probably already suggested these
but.....
Why not make it where Rovers can only work fixed stations...Yes, I hate to hurt
the traditional rover but the "pack rover" has ignored the "intent" of the
contest and this would eliminate that problem.
Captive rover situation...A bit more complicated....I don't have the
answer..Maybe no more than 30% of your total contacts from the same station.
It's not the captive rover's log that concerns most though, it's the station
that they are exclusively working because that captive rover cares less about
his log as he is trying to make that one station that he is working look good.
Of course if the captive rover does not submit a log then the station that sent
them out would need their log under scrutiny. That would be very difficult to
prove/disprove..
Grid circling is not a big deal if you don't have another station(s) to grid
circle with you as in pack rovering or if there is no one captive roving for a
fixed station. At least grid circling kinda gains some real-world worth as you
get farther and farther from your intended fixed station target.
I know there is no single solution. From the poll that Ev posted, it atleast
acknowleged that there is at a minimum a difference of opinion as to what
should and should not be done regardless of whether you are, were, or have
never used the questionable tactics.....
