[Rails-devel] Fwd: 18xx Bug report

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

A bug reported on 1856:
Selling a 10% share which was immediately bought in that turn.

However the player has the presidency, thus he should able to sell off 
the partial 10% from the presidency instead (if I understand Steve 
Thomas rule clarification correctly).

If I remember we had this case previously discussed, however was not 
able to find it quickly.

Previous Off-list conversion see below.

Most likely Erik knows best how the current implementation should work.
