Next silly question! Didn't feel the need to open a new thread as it's related.

Code:

    ! . .
  . p X .
  . G p !
  A . .


G has Grab, is pushed to player X. Can X then be pushed to the exclamation marks?

Here's what the venerable rulebook has to say on the matter.

Quote:
This
secondary push back is treated exactly like a normal push back
as if the second player had been blocked by the first


A literal-minded person would interpret this to mean that yeah, the pushed Grabber could choose the additional squares. A thinking person would consider that silly.
A literal-minded person would likely point out the difference between a block and a Block Action and not ask the "silly question", realizing that G has not taken a Block Action and therefore cannot use Grab Wink

...there could be an argument that the pushed player (your opponent) decides where player X gets pushed to. This would negate all chainpushing etc.
Only if you ignore the very next sentence in the rulebook:
Quote:
The coach of the moving team decides all push back directions for secondary push backs unless the pushed player has a skill that overrides this.
Context Wink


Hehe. Well, yeah, there is that.

I hadn't checked the rules, just the quote Razz

But really it's for S access only players as 3rd or 4th normal, or a legend skill on GS access.

Would be fun to do a Grab Spam team though.


They're called Simyins Smile


5 players don't make a spam! ;p
