[QUOTE="ccooke, post: 6444602, member: 6695890"] Well, as I said, everyone has the right to play the game the way they think is best. But since you framed the above as advice to me, I will counter with my own view ;-) Talking would be a free action (if such things still existed), [I]on your own turn[/I]. According to the rules of the game, you can communicate during your turn by gesture or utterance. You cannot communicate, as standard, outside your turn at all.
