Why risky, at worst it could be a draw, so better than insta-lose next turn. Unless he was fast enough to get to the second worm and bat him or something.
coste =) there is 1 thing u left unnoticed...
so u launch a super sheep from rope... even if u fly that sheep around until it explodes, u will still be disconnecting the rope because the retreat time settings
if whiterabbit had took like 6 seconds to fly that ss in the target worm, he wuda lost control of that ss due to meeting the mine below him
as u notice, at the very end of his flight, he loses the control of the sheep, but had the direction correct
conclusion:
worst that cuda happened is that the rope would disconnect because of the retreat time, whiterabbit land on the mine as planned... but not having time to fly the ss to the target worm xD and that would have been worse than draw... a lose =)
