Default Re: Horrible Time Pot Rule at Commerce

[ QUOTE ]
The way I look at it, if you decide to be in the collection pot, you're saying, "I owe $12 for collection. But I'm agreeing to gamble on not having to pay the $12 by being in the collection pot, the winner of which will pay my collection for me. So I will either end up having to pay $12 x the number of players in the pot or nothing." There is no thought of ending up plus $12.

Anyone who doesn't play that pot is theoretically up $12 though. Owing $12 and not having to pay is really being up $12. It's no different than collecting time individually and having the winner of the pot toss everyone $12 to compensate them...you're still up $12 from where you should have been.
