Well, that was my intent. If you're going to tamper with a Puzzle Pod
that you didn't create, you should be prepared to suffer the resultant
penalty for doing so if you're caught off guard. This even extends to
picking up Puzzle Pods you DID create, because the Puzzling
Contraption doesn't make a distinction regarding the creator of
given Puzzle Pods. It states simply "Choose a Puzzle Pod."
At present, comex is in the Closet and in possession of the Puzzle
Pod I created. He's safe for the moment. I feel that using the
Puzzling Contraption (and garnering the Stats that allow you to
do so) should provide an advantage rather than a risk. As always,
timing can be everything.
I like the concept of a deadline for acting, but will mull your advice
and possibly offer amendment.
