Another Tough Chouette Ruling

In Response To: Another Tough Chouette Ruling (Steve Mellen)

I agree with Steve. I've never played in a chouette where somebody would invoke the premature roll rule to invalidate a roll after a forced move. Then again, maybe someone else has. I suppose that would be fine -- in that chouette. If everyone agrees to that. I've just never seen it.

In several postings from "Meanwhile, back at the Chicago chouette," Phil seems to believe that everyone in the chouette is playing with the same set of rules. They're not. Any number of situations can arise where either (1) "the rules" aren't clear, or (2) nitpicking rule stickling is not how a robust chouette ought to solve the problem. Phil seems to think that all the possible exceptions to a strict application of "the rules" ought to be codified and followed. I think that's impossible. And I'm thinking along these lines: imagining a half dozen hypothetical chouetters, and some hypothetical rule that someone says is clear and must always be followed, I can come up variations of a situation in which one or more of the chouetters including that "someone" would think that the rule ought not be strictly followed.
