Czuch Chuckers: But when someone bets 1 and commits "pond suicide" in middle of a game, it effects everyone, not just one of a few - if effects the people who use stategy, and others you love to play turn by turn - both which are good ways to play. Yes, I was lucky this time because I found a short-term stategy to use in this situation to help me - it was a chance that could have cost me falling into the pond, and a chance I decided to take.
I would agree with a rule change of if a player has 0 points left, then they are out and not have the next round bet of 0 - as long as the rule change is properly announced so everyone knows it before someone bids 1 and then finds out about the rule change when they fall into the pond. ---- which would be hard to do since most will not re-read the rules, and many do not read any of the discussion boards.
I like the rule that if you do not bet, you use the last bet that was used rule - I would not want to see that changed. Ponds are good and quick now with no vacations or weekends, so this rule is a good one in my opinion.
