-     <p>
-       The <var>roadLength</var> game input variable used to be the
-       cardinal number of positions the troll could be in.  That's the
-       way it was presented in the original game, but I leaned more
-       towards distances to make the I/O protocol easier on beginners.
-       So it's currently inconsistent.
-     </p>
-     <p>
-       This is going to change in the following days to be a distance
-       everywhere, more in line with the protocol's other measures.
-       Not to mention being somewhat more consistent with the variable
-       name.  Thanks
