Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
We created a endless loop that I'm trying to confirm if it's from implementation or on the rules.
The situation:
We had in the map Dispatch center (recall a worker) and Freelance Dormitories (activate adjacent) buildings next to each other. And my opponent had the Grappler (you can recall your workers) perk. He/she also had 2 workers with claws.
The loop:
He/she could place a double claw worker on the Freelance Dormitories over another double claw worker, moving it to lounge, getting 1 food/money. Then use the Freelance Dormitories to activate Dispatch center; recalling the worker in the lounge; and rinse-repeat until infinity.
He/she even had the Lounge Lizard (get 2 points every time your worker goes to lounge), but this was just the cherry over the cake - not needed for the loop. -
• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened
yes, it's the last moves in the game. I conceded after realizing that it was a loop.

Report history
The rules also states there's infinite gold and food, and will never run out no matter what. That means infinite VP can be done without any perk with B side, and a single perk on A side.
The loop can be easily done using claw faction on B side, as its double claw ability grants displacing own worker. That meant whoever pick faction first have a clear advantage, as it locks the other player into a desperate race to take all claw before he gets another 3 claw.
I suggest BGA run a set of modified rules for this specific case.
Can we at least have a "infinite loop" button that of all players agree, win you the game?
