I think that it's disconcertion as per case book play 9.1.5SitA.

The case book says that it MAY be disconcertion, not that it IS disconcertion.


I agree. I still <b>THINK</b> that it IS disconcertion usually however. They quit or they get called. Jmo.

If they have wings and/or magic wands, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt from now on. Otherwise, knock it off. :)

IMO, that action alone is usually NOT sufficent to disconcert.
