That isn't to say there was no possible technique that could have been used to stop him - there probably was and I have some ideas for what to attempt in the future - but in the heat of the moment in the middle of the game that night I exhausted every avenue I could see.  That to me is powerlessness - is it not to you?More importantly, as I noted in my initial post - there was another player that was able to progress the game to a point we could move forward. You weren't in that game, in the heat of the moment and you are telling someone they should have done X in that game, in the heat of the moment.  That's precisely what Monday morning quarterbacking is.I would say more precisely it depends on the game, the group, their social contract, their expectations, what they find fun etc.Sure but they already had their destination and the BBEG was nowhere in sight...It definitely is about justifiability.  If you aren't justified in using the technique in a given situation - then the technique is off the table.And what we are saying is that isn't necessarily the case...</blockquote>
