A new ploy was introduced to restrict shooters (dice controllers), so it seemed. The stick person would hold the stick in an upright position arm bent at the elbow slightly extended. The table captain would scold the shooter if they reached over the center line. This does hinder the follow through for SR1 &amp; SL1 and also interferes with the throwing line for SR2 &amp; SL2.<\/p>\n<p>\tThis appears to be in retaliation to the recent plundering we did to the HSM Bounty-ful about 6 weeks back. It seems to be targeted toward a few of the Team members that were present for the EPIC roll Hard Way Joe had. Even though I was not the thrower at that event I was at SR1 and way one of the top winners at the table. As new tables opened I would move to a new one. One of the suits seemed to follow and instruct the crew on the side to enforce the &quot;regulation&quot;. The table captain would say &quot;they&#8217;re only the messenger and enforcing what the rules are&quot;. <\/p>\n<p>\tFrom SR1 my only target was into the far hook (mixing bowl) diagonal from SR1. I prompted the crew there would be no tipping\/bets for them based on the restrictive &quot;rules&quot;. I guess hitting the pyramids is not sufficient of an edge for the house. Now they are devising new conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\tHas this happened to any of you? What do you do about it?<\/p>\n<p>\tScooter<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Finisher on May 28, 2014, 1:44 am<\/p>\n<div>Hmmmm Maybe see if I could split the dice to go in 2 directions after hitting the stick on the come out roll and apologist hope fulling taken when I SAY THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE .<br \/>\n\tLike I have been rolling the bones for 30 yrs.
