Road Sign UNO

[kphoger]

If multiple numbers are valid, the next player can play from any of them, and only the one that was actually played from was considered to be used.

If we have NH 9 → NH 10 or NH 12 → NH 13, then it's still undecided which one was played even after the multiple numbers end. In this case, both possibilities remain open until something (playing the sign again) forces only one possibility, if it ever happens.

So, basically, it's like the [ NH 10 or NH 12 ] play never existed?

It would be a good idea if everyone would simply pick which number he's playing instead of saying "or".  In this case, we don't know if the first picture was "played for" IA-210 or IA-17, which means we don't know which one cannot be used again with the same photo.

Looking at the rules, this process is neither banned nor explicitly allowed, so it is implicitly allowed. A ruling would help clarify this.

It is banned explicitly by Rule #8.  See below.

8. You cannot use the same sign in the same photo more than once.

My man, you are taking this way too seriously.

There are some corner cases. You can play the sign again, but the next player won't be able to jump numbers – this requires using both NH 10 and NH 12, which leaves no possibility for the other time the sign was used.

I can imagine more complicated scenarios, but they will probably never happen.

No. We're talking about signs that haven't already been played.

I too have Ohio 104. The presence of Exit 104 is coincidental and not intended to rile up kphoger. 

[kphoger]

No. We're talking about signs that haven't already been played.

I wasn't talking about that at all.

If the play goes [US-10] > [I-10 or I-8] > [I-35 or I-70] . . .

It's unclear whether I-10 or I-8 was played in the second step.  Therefore, it remains unclear whether it's OK to use that same picture again for, say, I-8.  Rule #8 states you can't use the same picture for the same sign, but who knows which sign was played and which one wasn't?

1 has now clarified that, in such a case, either I-10 or I-8 could be played in the future with the same sign;  however, the sign could not be played again after that because, either way you slice it, both I-10 and I-8 would be used up.

I don't re-use photos in this thread, so it doesn't matter.

(I could be mistaken, and forgot that I did a few times, but in general, I don't, because it's more interesting to see new pictures.)
