If a single scoring figure moves multiple times due to scoring of more than one feature with placement of a single tile, the '''player receiving the points''' chooses the order that points are awarded. If there is a robber beside that figure, the owner of the robber would thus receive half the points of only the '''first''' feature that is scored. Of course, if multiple figures on the same space receive points, the robber’s owner can still choose which figure to steal points from. (5/2013, 11/2014)

Although this rule refers to multiple figures scoring in “the same turn,the robber cannot necessarily wait until the end of the entire turn to see if it applies. Rather, the robber can only consider those scoring events that would be happening simultaneously, i.e. during the same “scoring round” (see [[The Messages|The Messengers]] expansion for further discussion.) For example, the fairy scoring is separate from scoring of normal features. Thus, if the robber could score due to the fairy point he must take that score; he cannot wait for other events later in the turn. (10/2014)

Each feature scores separately. The {{ColorGreen|green}} player and {{ColorRed|you}} can choose which of your scoring figures will score the points. The {{ColorBlue|blue robber}} can only receive points from a scoring figure that stands on the same space as the {{ColorBlue|blue robber}}. In this case, the {{ColorBlue|blue robber}} can definitely receive points from the {{ColorGreen|green}} player, because both scoring figures from the {{ColorGreen|green}} player are on the same space. The {{ColorBlue|blue robber}}’s ability to rob points from {{ColorRed|you}} will depend on which figure(s) {{ColorRed|you}} choose to move. Since the {{ColorBlue|blue robber}} is on a space occupied by more than one scoring figure, and more than one figure is scoring points, the {{ColorBlue|blue robber}} chooses which player he is "robbing" half the points from. The {{ColorBlue|blue robber}} gets all of the information that he/she needs about movement from the other players ({{ColorRed|you}} and the {{ColorGreen|green}} player) before making the best decision about which points to rob.

In this case, the {{ColorBlue|blue robber}} can definitely receive points from the {{ColorGreen|green}} player, because both scoring figures from the {{ColorGreen|green}} player are on the same space. The {{ColorBlue|blue robber}}’s ability to rob points from {{ColorRed|you}} will depend on which figure(s) {{ColorRed|you}} choose to move. Since the {{ColorBlue|blue robber}} is on a space occupied by more than one scoring figure, and more than one figure is scoring points, the {{ColorBlue|blue robber}} chooses which player he is "robbing" half the points from. The {{ColorBlue|blue robber}} gets all of the information that he/she needs about movement from the other players ({{ColorRed|you}} and the {{ColorGreen|green}} player) before making the best decision about which points to rob.
