Restriction Mode

Restriction
CITATION players are not permitted to click anywhere outside the GamerX10 interface while restriction mode is active.
Restriction begins each time a new question is displayed. Submitting an answer does not lift restriction, which persists until the round is terminated.
Blinkers under the text entry area flash red when restriction mode is active.

Violation
Accessing another program during restriction causes GamerX10 to raise a violation. Raising a violation means the player forfeits the ability to answer the current question. If the player has already answered the question, that answer will be marked incorrect.
