In Response To: Controversy in the Chou (Phil Simborg)

I agree with Neil and Chuck that in a "friendly" chouette the rules should have some elasticity. I've played in a chouette for over 10 years and we play legal moves.Let's say a player, rolls a 4-4 and moves 3 of the 4's but, then lifts his dice. We'd tell that player that he has one more 4 to play. Likewise, if a player showed that he was in fact hitting a checker, but, forgot to put it on the bar, the hit would be allowed. Playing with strangers or in an "unfriendly" chouette can be hell, at times. For example, in a chouette played in NYC, I was told that I could Not play unless I agreed to be filmed in it for someone's grad school assignment.I always thought "so called film makers" had ethics and wouldn't impose their will over others. So, if you're in a " friendly" chouette allow some bending of the rules. You never know when you'll be told that you must be filmed, forced to sign a petition, or some other infringement of your basic rights.It's good to have an open forum with freedom of speech.
