If I have something to say to another player, but don't want any other player hear, can I tell him without telling anyone else, or is this forbidden under some rule? SO many times I've wanted to deal with someone and not have my prey or predator or someone know... ~SV

("understand" in this context includes hearing as well as language) Just to clarify that - if you miss something, do they have to repeat it? If not, can I deliberately speak at the same time as someone else when a) I won't be heard by everyone? or b) it will distract the person I am talking to? (so they don't hear someone else) If the above is 'yes and no.no' then how do you tell whether someone deliberately said something so that someone else wouldn't hear?

Do you sit around thinking this sort of stuff up? I mean, if you have that sort of free time there's better things to do than this. Learn a language, do charity work or something. Seriously, this sort of question is more anal than a prison shower scene. I'm probably just jealous- I don't have ny time to even play teh game at teh moment and i'd give my left nut for four straight hours to construct the three decks i've got scribbled down on the back of envelopes. How about some strategy articles? Or some analysis of the tournament winning deck archive, that's always good. Matt Green

Seriously, this sort > of question is more anal than a prison shower scene. LOL. Although I don't support your attack on Tim (although it may sound paranoïd, this sort of situation can happen especially in a big tournament in a foreign country), I must say that sentence will have to be remembered in some... annals ? ;-) Reminds me (please sensible people don't read what follows) when I said this french singer / murderer in a lituanian jail was in deep shit and my friend answered : "no, it's that lituanian rapist behind him who's in deep shit" ! Bleuarrgh... Not Orpheus, someone took over my computer. I'm not that kind of guy !!

No it happened ni a tournament a few weeks ago -someone made a deal that I didn't hear because I was talking to someone else and wouldn't tell me what the deal was (I don't think it was actually terribly important but it was irritating).

And remember folks, if no one but the person to whom you're communicating knows you're talking in a secret language, then it's not illegal. :) ~SV

Would this be true if I have forgotten a deal that two other players made? Do they have to inform me of the conditions if I ask them? /Henrik

You just won't get caught (unless one of you says something foolish to give it away).
