RE: [Rails-devel] OR Bug?

Ok... I found how to duplicate it.

I play a "reasonable" 3 player game. By reasonable, I mean simulating a real game by making sensible choices that I've seen made in actual games.  I start up the B&O, PRR, and C&O at the beginning of the game.

After 3 trains come out, I had the PRR buy the C&StL.  The following OR, the PRR is allowed to make as many tile lays as it likes, anywhere on the map.

Here's the console output from my game during the OR that I replicated the behavior:

Start of Operating Round 3.2
2 receives $5 for SVNRR
PRR receives $10 for C&StL
0 receives $15 for D&H
2 receives $20 for M&H
PRR receives $25 for C&A
B&O buys D&H from 0 for $140.
Special tile lay allowed on hex F16, extra=false
B&O lays tile #53/I15/SW
Normal=1/1 special=0/0
B&O earns $250
B&O pays out full dividend of $250
1 receives $50
2 receives $25
0 receives $150
B&O moves from H1 to I1
Special tile lay allowed on hex B20, extra=true
PRR lays tile #57/H10/SW
Normal=1/1 special=0/1
Special tile lay allowed on hex B20, extra=true
PRR lays tile #14/H10/SW
Normal=2/1 special=0/1
Special tile lay allowed on hex B20, extra=true
PRR lays tile #8/H8/SW
Normal=3/1 special=0/1
Special tile lay allowed on hex B20, extra=true
PRR lays tile #55/G7/SW
Normal=4/1 special=0/1
Special tile lay allowed on hex B20, extra=true
count = 0, total = 170
count = 0, total = 510
count = 0, total = 215
