When you get down to it, there couldn't be such a rule because of what I stated previously in the last post. If you don't agree, then simply try passing from both directions while staying on one side of the board and you will see what I'm talking about. I think sometimes you get too caught up in picking nits instead of just enjoying the game. Don't worry about it and just play! :rolleyes:

Yes I know he answered the question :rolleyes:

In an effort to understand rules not just for me,.......

When a rule, no matter what it is if there is not an area that is specified or covered, is it wise to assume that it is implied what ever?

If no effort was made to find out the facts, then an assumption means you're unwilling to take the time to get it right so you take a 50-50 chance that this was implied.

However there is a positive and negative assumption. Positive: based on actual facts, evidence, and experience. While the negative assumption will be based on not wanting to get it right, thought, feeling, opinion.

I am not saying that what anyone does is wrong, all I'm saying, and I hope you guys can understand is this, Did any one ever try to contact the inventer and or company in an honest effort to understand why such information was not in the rules.

Every one knows what they say when you assume something.

This post is not about MPFL vs anything, TTQB, Pass Placement, or what ever.

I am just looking at a rule book that didn't cover something and I wanted to know did anyone try to get clarification first befor an assumption was made.

I know for me I made an assumption on something befor thinking it was implied, and it turned out that I was totaly wrong, man I looked like a fool. When I look back on it I realized all I needed to do was simply ask a question. But I didn't follow proper protocol and I learned from that.

I learned that absents of rules or detailed information was not sufficient grounds to make an assumption, or believe that somthing is implied.

Like many of you assumed the wrong thing about this post:rolleyes: , you focused on use of the TTQB and not on the passing protocol was not covered in the rules and information given in this game, along with other information. :rolleyes:

When I said that you were wrong, I am referring to who ever focused on the wrong point of this post.
