A player may intend, for example, to create a character who is a strong, mighty warrior, but being " outplayed " in the auction may result in lower attribute scores than anticipated, therefore necessitating a change of character concept.

A willingness to spend as many points as possible on an attribute may improve your chances of a high ranking, but too reckless a spending strategy could leave a player with few points to spend on powers and objects.

After a player places a tile, and the results of that placement have been handled, he may purchase up to three shares of stock.

A player may only purchase shares of stock in chains that have already been founded.

A player may purchase shares in one, two, or three existing chains ( assuming at least three chains are currently in play ), in any combination up to a total of three shares.

Starting with the player who caused the merger to happen, each player may either sell his shares in the acquired chain, trade in two shares of the acquired chain for one share of the acquiring chain, or hold on to his shares of the acquired chain.

A player may trade in as many shares as he owns, but may not trade in one share of the acquired chain for half a share of the acquiring chain.

If a player holds onto his stock, he runs the risk that the acquired chain may not reemerge before the game ends.

That is, the rules do not say whether one player may ask another how many shares of stock he or she owns in a particular chain.

Any player may declare the game over at any time during his turn if either of two conditions is true: one chain has 41 or more tiles, or there is at least one chain on the board and every chain on the board has 11 or more tiles.

Because ending the game is optional, and a player may not realize that he can end it, it is unethical to say " good game ", or in any other way indicate that the game could be ended, until after a player actually has ended the game.

# No playable tiles-Per 2008 rules, a player that has no legal plays because all 6 tiles in his or her hand are unplayable may reveal his or her hand, set aside his or her unplayable tiles, and draw six new tiles at the beginning of his or her turn.

Each player may control one or more game pieces.

In some games, pieces may not represent or belong to any particular player.

In more recent years, pure steals of home are rare, although a player may steal home plate during a " delayed double steal ," in which a runner on first attempts to steal second, while the runner on third breaks for home as soon as the catcher throws to second base.

A technical foul may also be issued when certain infractions occur, most commonly for unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of a player or coach.

A player may build up the handle with one or several grips before applying the final layer.

Players often find that sweat becomes a problem ; in this case, a drying agent may be applied to the grip or hands, sweatbands may be used, the player may choose another grip material or change his grip more frequently.

He'll still be a top player, they concede, because he's got a great glove and the long ball going for him.

Some details were changed slightly to allow more player choice-for example, players can be full Trump Artists without having walked the Pattern or the Logrus, which Merlin says is impossible ; and players ' psychic abilities are far greater than those shown in the books.

In this situation, there are a number of strategic reasons why an individual player might select one hotel chain over another to be the one that remains on the board.

It is eligible to be founded again if another player founds a chain again in a later turn.

Counter-Strike is a notable exception, in that the player models are seen externally to fire akimbo Berettas from the hip, but appear to be firing from shoulder level from the first-person perspective.

Games can be based on pure strategy, chance ( e. g. rolling dice ) or a mixture of the two, and usually have a goal which a player aims to achieve.

" Number of times batted, except that no time at bat shall be charged when a player: ( 1 ) hits a sacrifice bunt or sacrifice fly ; ( 2 ) is awarded first base on four called balls ; ( 3 ) is hit by a pitched ball ; or ( 4 ) is awarded first base because of interference or obstruction ..."

Note that just because a player is described as being " at bat " in this sense, he will not necessarily be given an at bat in his statistics ; the phrase actually signifies a plate appearance ( assuming it is eventually completed ).

Brady Anderson was the first, and currently only, player to be hit by the pitch two times in the same inning in an American League game.

This happens when a player has almost no walks or times hit by pitch, with a higher number of sacrifice flies ( e. g. if a player has 2 hits in 6 at bats plus a sacrifice fly, his batting average would be. 333, but his on-base percentage would be. 286 ).

Noted statistician Bill James has argued that unless a player can steal a high percentage of the time, then the stolen base is not useful, and can even be detrimental to a team.

Finally, for 1950 only, runners would be credited with a stolen base if they were " well advanced " toward the base they were attempting to steal ", and the pitcher is charged with a balk, with the further exception of a player attempting to steal, who would otherwise have been forced to advance on the balk by a runner behind them.

Runners would specifically not be charged with being caught, if the player was put out after a wild pitch or passed ball.

A player completes a turn batting when: he strikes out or is declared out before reaching first base ; or he reaches first base safely or is awarded first base ( by a base on balls, hit by pitch, or catcher's interference ); or he hits a fair ball which causes a preceding runner to be put out for the third out before he himself is put out or reaches first base safely ( see also left on base, fielder's choice, force play )

A consequence of this system is that, each time a side regains the service, the server will be the player who did not serve last time.

Štěpán Vachoušek, the Czech international football player has unfortunately been hampered with a string of recurring injuries since suffering cruciate ligament damage in 2005, last undergoing an operation in February 2007.

Hansen was one of the best shortstops in the American League in the 1960s, yet unfortunately, a player whose career was hampered throughout and was eventually cut short by chronic back ailments and other injuries which prevented him from ever really enjoying a great career.

He slumped to. 248 with 17 home runs in 1965, then won the American League Comeback player of the Year honors in (. 287, 34 home runs, 109 runs batted in ) while being hampered by a broken finger.

At the time, Thon was considered a possible Hall of Fame player in the making but had his career permanently hampered due to the injury he sustained as a result of the beaning.

Other hitters bloomed with more or less vigor in the news and a few even dared to dream of matching Ruth, who was still called Jidge by all his friends, or Leo or Two-Head by those who dared to taunt him ( Leo was the name of the ball player he liked the least ) and who called most of the world `` Kid ''.

The player controls a spaceship in an asteroid field which is periodically traversed by flying saucers.

The game is unusual in that no dice are used in resolving conflicts or player actions ; instead a simple diceless system of comparative ability, and narrative description of the action by the players and gamemaster, is used to determine how situations are resolved.

Since a player cannot control another player's bids, and since all bids are non-refundable, the auction involves a considerable amount of strategizing and prioritization by players.

The player wins the game by solving all the anagrams within the allotted time.

While the players were on the tour, the National League instituted new rules regarding player pay that led to a revolt of players, led by Ward, who started the Players ' League the following season ( 1890 ).

When a chain in which a player owns stock is acquired by a larger chain, players earn money based on the size of the acquired chain.

The eighteen goals scored by local player Amedeo Amadei were essential to the Alfréd Schaffer coached Roma side winning the title.

This consisted of a mock game against the fictional player " Systemsson ", supposedly played and annotated by Nimzowitsch himself.

Some games involve commanding multiple game pieces ( or units ), such as chess pieces or Monopoly houses and hotels, that have unique designations and capabilities within the parameters of the game ; in other games, such as Go, all pieces controlled by a player have the same capabilities.

Brunei's leaders are concerned that steadily increased integration in the world economy will undermine internal social cohesion although it has taken steps to become a more prominent player by serving as chairman for the 2000 APEC ( Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation ) forum.

The practice of keeping records of player achievements was started in the 19th century by Henry Chadwick.

An error made by the pitcher in fielding at his position is counted the same as an error by any other player.

To date, one Major League player has died as a result of being struck by a pitch: Ray Chapman of the Cleveland Indians was hit in the head by Carl Mays on August 16, 1920, and died the next morning.
