The point is *not* to work as many people as possible.  It *is* to align Rover rules with that of all other classes of entry.  All other participants must work as many people as possible from a single location within a Grid-4.

That is what the "three simple rules" intend to do.  The problem that I am observing is that the "genie is out of the bottle" and there is a sense of strategy entitlement at play.
