What's one reason a clinch might be disqualified?

You did part of it at night, making you unable to see the whole roadway.

I've actually re-clinched sections of roadway for this exact reason.  Sometimes I would indeed say that you didn't truly clinch a road if you did so at night (VT 9).  Other times, it doesn't matter as much (ON 417).

I did the entire New Mexico portion of US 56 at night. In the morning, just out of curiosity, I checked GSV to see if I really missed much...No, no I didn't.

Your favorite highway relocated to Indiana.

I was going to say something, but I know the forum's rule about politics.

I genuinely don't understand how politics could possibly factor into this.

I can think of the situation with the Bears, but that isn't inherently political, that's sports.

Eastern New Mexico?  Heck, it's probably better that it was dark.

You can bring a robot buddy with you book road trips and call them derogatory things to your heart's content.  The robot might be able to think but it doesn't actually feel and lacks a soul.

Google New Illinois and a Mike Braun 2025 law about Illinois.

An AI driver can drive an entire route in GSV and tell you how cool it was.

[kphoger]

Incorrect.  A few of Illinois's hilliest counties would be on the chopping block, which would leave Illinois as even less hilly than it is now.

Nope.  Why?  Have you been using A.I. to evaluate our motives and then copying-and-pasting the results into forum threads?

I don't use AI, unless it's required for a school assignment or Google search if it counts.

Large Language Models can scan everything about the roads, its planning, history, traffic numbers;  then when done, it can entirely destroy the road.
