B: A creature that lets the Hazard Player assigns strikes.
SItuation A
The Hazard Player announces:
Lesser Spiders
Spiders. Four strikes. "...along the ground and the branches, hairy legs waving, nippers and spinners snapping, eyes popping, full of froth and rage."-Hob
- If I am the Resource player and I ask the Hazard player, "May I assign strikes?"
- If the Hazard player says "Yes." I feel 100% obliged, that I am not cancelling, and I will begin to assign strikes.
- If the Hazard player says "No." Then I will wait and ask him again in about a minute. Patiently, assuming he is thinking.
As the Hazard Player, I announce:
Ambusher
Men. Two strikes. Attacker chooses defending characters. "...suddenly Wormtongue rose up, drawing a hidden knife, and then with a snarl like a dog he sprang on Saruman's back, jerked his head back, cut his throat, and with a yell ran off down the lane."-LotRVI
- If I ask the Resource player, "May I assign strikes?"
- If the Resource player says "Yes." I feel 100% obliged, to directly start assigning strikes, not going back and interrupting myself and announcing Rank Upon Rank.
- If the Resource player says "No." Then I will wait and ask him again in about a minute. Patiently, assuming he is thinking.
(Basically there is an on going rant, that ICE didn't clarify the rules or they are sloppy in their wording because there is no step by step process that ends a stalemate of THINKING, because we don't use chess clocks!
