Being deliberately balky:
Bubba is digging a tunnel thru the mountain.
The tunnel is extremely long, but has yet to reach to far side.
Boffo chases a T-Rexx into the tunnel.
The T-Rexx passes Bubba, heading towards the dead-end.
Bubba walks very slowly all the way back out to the entrance of
the tunnel where he fogot his pick, and then very very slowly
walks back to the end of the tunnel where he's digging.
He never passes the T-Rexx again?
Note: Bubba never left the tunnel. There are no other exits.
This is why I proposed the number of discrete exits, number of
discreete rooms, and total abscence of players (IO redirection) counts
for determining when to KO the dino. Its still detectable with
sufficient work by players, but its going to cover up (almost?) all
the really obvious cases.
