• A robber must always take the first allowable points awarded (i.e. other than “roguepoints”). He may not wait for a possible larger score later. • If a robber is on the same space as several counting followers, and more than one ofthese followers scores points on the same turn, the owner of the robber can choose whichcounting follower’s points to gets half of. 444
If a single follower receives points from more than one feature with placement of a single tile,the active player chooses the order that points are awarded. If there is a robber beside that follower, the owner of the robber would thus receive half the points of only the first feature that is scored. Of course, if multiple followers on the same space receive points, the Robber’s owner can still choose which follower to steal points from. (5/2013)
Why is it we never ask these questions to the author himself?
I'm trying to wrap my head around how a single follower can score from multiple features simultaneously, but I'm drawing a blank.
The next part of the clarification of rules:Now we have the question #5-----------------------------------------5. When determining scoring of Robbers, there is actually an ambiguity remaining in the rules regarding choice of scoring order. Footnote 444 (CAR v7.0) comments that the active player chooses order "if a single follower receives points from more than one feature with placement of a single tile," but there is no clarification about who chooses order for multiple followers scoring. Does the active player always choose scoring order?Or do players receiving points get to choose the order of the points that they receive? This question is still open. It is not easy to answer a question when we have only the footnote but not the article from the original rule. I don't have the CAR with me when I go to meet Georg Wild - HiG.Here is the rule:Quote• A robber must always take the first allowable points awarded (i.e. other than “roguepoints”). He may not wait for a possible larger score later. • If a robber is on the same space as several counting followers, and more than one ofthese followers scores points on the same turn, the owner of the robber can choose whichcounting follower’s points to gets half of. 444Here is the complete footnote 444:QuoteIf a single follower receives points from more than one feature with placement of a single tile,the active player chooses the order that points are awarded. If there is a robber beside that follower, the owner of the robber would thus receive half the points of only the first feature that is scored.

(5/2013)In all my clarifications of rules - I can't find anything with "the active player chooses the order..."Obervet, please tell me where you have found this, perhaps there were some misunderstanding.
The word "follower" there could/should be replaced with "player". Then it reads fine.
