      That's one option. I do wonder what would happen if someone just focused purely on evasion and then moved to their zone at the last minute. A lot of the chasers' strategy is built on prediction based on a known end goal, if you just make deliberately hard-to-follow moves, that no longer works.

  • @Wandervenn
    @Wandervenn ปีที่แล้ว +70

    I love how Ben and Sam are basically opposites. Same is thinking moves and moves ahead to set himself up for the best possible sprint in the future, while Ben just meanders with the flow of the wind so they keep failing to catch him at easy spots. He comes off as chaotic because they cant figure out the pattern, but it's just because there is no pattern. Lawful Neutral vs True Neutral at its finest. Then you have Adam in a freaking disguise.

    If I had a nickel, for every time Ben ended up at Lille during this season, I'd have three nickels! Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. At the end of the day, we're all children at heart, so stopping by the Lego Store as a stress reliever is a plus. Ben deserved his frites, felt bad he was hungry and had no water! Gotta say, it was pretty painful seeing Ben just standing on the airport station's platform instead of getting on the train already on the platform and going somewhere else to eat frites. Not getting on that train was what ended his run. Also, that's not an owl that Ben heard! That is the common wood pigeon or the Columba palumbus. Their range is mostly Europe but they're also found in Morocco, the Fertile Crescent, Iran's Caspian coast, and southeastern Kazakhstan

Humans ARE animals, and claiming that it's implicit that humans don't count, or that "animals isn't used that way in regular conversation" misses the point of why it's great: that information *isn't* on the card, so he's working entirely within the bounds of the rules.
