You MUST always place a ferry when you draw a tile with a lake, even if you don't place a follower on it.

Official Rules / Re: Moving Robbers (rogue points)

Rules say that "the robber is placed ON THE SAME SPACE as at least one counting follower of another player" and not next to one specific counting follower.
Then rules add that "a robber must always take the first allowable points awarded" and "he may not wait for a larger score later".
It seems to me that there is no doubt that you HAVE TO SCORE half points of the first counting follower that moves (and the owner of the robber can choose only in the event that more than one counting followers - standing on the same space of his robber - score points on the same turn).

My question is indeed only about "rogue points". In this case rules do not mention explicity that you are obliged to move your robber forward with the first counting follower that moves (if your robber is on the same place as more counting followers).
Yellow suggest that "you have to move your robber if any of the opponents follower on the same square moves", so you are obliged to move with the first one in the same way you have to take the first half points.
I could agree with him but is this the official rule?

Hallo, Yellow
In my example the second counting follower doesn't move at all.

So, if I understand well:
1) The robber MUST ALWAYS move when one counting follower on the same square moves because it scores points gained by robbing another player, even if there are other (one or more) counting followers on the same square and they don't move (I can't choose to remain on that square with the second ones);
2) robber's player can choose what do (which follower to follow or getting half points) only if there are on the same square of his robber two or more counting followers moving at the same time.

hallo!
Here's my question.
Rogue points rule says that in this case robber's player scores no points and the robber moves forward with counting follower it is next to.
But what happens to my robber if it is on the same space of TWO counting followers and one of them scores points gained by robbing another player?
a) MUST I move my robber forward with that counting follower or b) can I CHOOSE either moving my robber forward with that counting follower or staying still next to the other counting follower?
