Thief VS Level 9 player - help solve this dilemma!

Andrew Hackard · 12-20-2016, 03:40 PM

The Thief's attempt to steal doesn't begin until the Thief actually discards. "Wait a sec, I want to try to steal something" is a valid thing to say, but the Level 9 player wasn't required to wait forever for the Thief to make a decision -- in fact, unless the Thief had a card in hand ready to discard immediately, the Level 9 player would have been well within his rights to continue with his turn.

Even if the Thief's attempt proceeded, there is NO argument for "you have to wait until the Thief exhausts all possible attempts." The Level 9 player could easily have kicked open the door once the first Theft attempt was resolved, and at that point Theft is illegal.
