Talking before finals?

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.

I think both you and Drizmo misunderstands me. The issue is not what people do prior to the seating, it is what they do DURING the seating. And I haven´t even called it "bad stuff". It might as well be "good stuff", right?

I understand you, I just think it's hard to implement. Because if people can't talk during seating phase, they will do before.

No, because I think we are talking about different kinds of talking.

The talking usually going on PRIOR to the seating ceremony is for example "What deck is person X playing?" or "You understand person X plays very aggressive?" or "You really should place yourself between X and Y". (All this might also result collusion, I guess)

The talking DURING the seating ceremony is all this, PLUS possibly also real deal-making, as well as all other kinds of weird manipulating, influencing, stressing, jedi mind tricks, stand up comedy, etc. Usually also combined with comments from stupid spectators who can´t keep their mouths shut.
