Talking before finals?

By the way: what is a deal in VTES? Is nothing. Just words, not actions. You can't just forbid talking. Is the essence of the game.

I do not understand what you are saying here. If it would be forbidden to talk during the seating it is forbidden, and the judge will respond to breach of that rule just as any other breach. It has nothing to do with a "deal".

But you can't forbid it. As I said before, it goes against the essence of the game. I think the rules worked over 20 years, there is no point on change it.

I never talk before the final table, I just think players should have freedom choosing.

Yes you can.

There are no rules about this.

You misunderstand me. I said that rules worked over 20 years as they are.

You can't force all players to stay in silence. You can't control that. What if my last table finish in 30 minutes and I want to go outside to smoke or make a call or whatever I want? A referee must come with me to control what I talk? I just say no. That rule would generate more problems that it solves.

Just to re-focus:
The question is, if talking is allowed (or not) "during the seating choice".

And like me and Drizmo are trying to say, this is redundant since people can circumvent this by doing the bad stuff elsewhere.
