Call for Judgment

Hmm, Rule 15 says that Players can claim Squares on the Game Board "provided that they do not already own more Squares than another Player". Both Erik and Don have been claiming Squares whilst owning more Squares than another Player.

Erik's logic (and presumably Don's) is that:-

"ErikBenson takes E4 since DonW is "another player" that doesn't have more squares than me."

I contend that this logic is flawed - if Erik is allowed to pick a specific Player to be his "another player" and make the move legal, then the universe at large is equally allowed to pick a different specific Player to make the move illegal (if such a Player exists).

The language does seem sufficiently obvious, I think; "Are you taller than another person in this room?" "No! (By which I mean that I am taller than everyone except John.)"

Resolution: Revert the Board to how it was prior to the move quoted above, and delete the relevant portions of the move log.
