Re: [Rails-devel] 18EU minor initial sale round bugs

I consider it an immaterial difference in rules wording, that does not merit
complicating the UI. But apparently opinions differ. I won't oppose such a
change, but I have better things to spend my time on.

[EV] Indeed. I don't actually see why "Pass" would not cover "Decline to
bid" as well. I don't see any need to make that distinction.



It is problematic to explain rules when the interface does not match the
terminology in the rules.  "Pass" has a specific meaning that is different
from "decline to bid."

I'm not sure why there would be resistance to having Rails match the game
rules?  What good reason could there be for desiring a conflict in
terminology?
