1) "When you see the word ROBBERS, your robber must take points if possible (ignoring rogue points)". "Your"? "Remove your abbot and score its points". "Your robber cannot steal from you".

I updated the wording and the use of ROBBERS and ROBBER CHOICE. See explanation below.

2) "Guide the flock to the stable (score 1 point per sheep)"- ROBBER CHOICE- There can be more shepherds.

This has to be ROBBERS. See explanation below.

3) "If scoring a road beginning or ending at crossroads with a tollhouse, score the toll for each tollhouse owner" ROBBER CHOICE- There can be more tollhouses.

This has been updated to ROBBER CHOICE. See explanation below.

4) "Perform an auction." ROBBER CHOICE- There can be more positive scores.

This has to be ROBBERS. See explanation below.

Explanation

I've been revisiting all clarifications regarding Messages and Robbers the past few days. After updating the wording of ROBBERS and ROBBER CHOICE initially, I realized the CAR didn't follow the point of view of the number of meeples scoring points for the same scoring event but what set of features has to be considered together to allow players to order their scoring events and let robbers steal from them. Let me explain...

In the end, ROBBER CHOICE is linked to Step 3B: If you are about to score multiple features from the placement of one single tile, you first identify the points to be scored by each one. Then the players involved decide the order of scoring of their features. According to the order decided, players will note their points and robbers will steal from them accordingly. This is related to (extreme) example I posted here: [ http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=4489.msg68136#msg68136 http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=4489.msg68136#msg68136]

Therefore:

ROBBERS is used to tag scoring events players score as they go and robbers may steal points from. It doesn't matter if one ore more features are scored and robbers may have to make a choice.
ROBBER CHOICE: is used to tag all scoring events players have to consider when scoring features and bonuses in Step 3B. Players will decide the order their scoring events will be processed so robbers may steal points from one of the scoring figures on the same space if more than one.

As a consequence of all this, I updated the use of ROBBERS and ROBBER CHOICE and the wording of the explanation at the beginning of the page. This change was also applied to the Scoring During Turn Sequence pages.
