So now we have Suggestion: update player responsibility text which I completely agree with regarding letting the points stand for the affected player… But in this situation there’s 2 other factors at play.
- Seeming collusion (P2 and P3 discussing)
- Effectively a back-pocket ruling which has been discussed previously
IIRC back-pocket rulings are typically just not acted upon, but you can’t really apply that here directly because it’s still active.
For a casual situation I completely agree with swapping P3 and P4, since P4 basically loses the advantage of playing last. But P3’s behavior really grinds my gears and my desire to punish is high.
