In my group when someone does something particularly clever we give them the "seal" of approval.

A knowing nod and a low pitched "hmph". |
Wretched Peasant Scum | 11 Dec 2016 6:06 p.m. PST |
I dispute the validity of their parents' marriage. |

Ah, yes Jericho. That is how we do it around these parts as well. |

An almost imperceptible sneer. |

I throw a baby fit and flip the checkers board. |

A combination of above, but I will not rub their bellies. |
bobspruster | 12 Dec 2016 7:16 a.m. PST |
I tell them how clever they are. Then smash their flanks. |
John the Greater | 12 Dec 2016 9:20 a.m. PST |
I whine about how it is soooooooo unfair! Then I smash their flanks. |
wrgmr1 | 12 Dec 2016 9:31 a.m. PST |
Just a plain "nice move". Then in my mind question his parentage. |
Chris Wimbrow | 12 Dec 2016 10:28 a.m. PST |
"Aw crap! I'm doomed. Well done." (In the back of my mind, "He'll never slip that sleaze past me again.") |
Weasel | 12 Dec 2016 11:01 a.m. PST |
It depends a bit. Some games, we're both deep into the tactical bits and it's just a quiet nod of approval, sometimes, its a more light-hearted game and creative profanity ensues. FOr a few games, especially if we're learning, we'll stop and discuss the move. |
Defender1 | 12 Dec 2016 12:13 p.m. PST |
Flash a big smile while questioning their parentage. |
Oberlindes Sol LIC | 12 Dec 2016 12:56 p.m. PST |
"That's exactly what I would have done." |
raylev3 | 12 Dec 2016 1:36 p.m. PST |
The rules are obviously wrong. |
Ottoathome | 12 Dec 2016 3:11 p.m. PST |
I do what Chris Wimbrow does. Also, as I am called upon to umpire most games as I am the host, I rarely have the incident arise. However, I often have one sides players squealing and asking "Can he do that?????!!!!" Usually my response is… "Cheesy but legal." |
MHoxie | 12 Dec 2016 4:00 p.m. PST |
"Right, I'll do you for that." |
Volleyfire | 12 Dec 2016 4:19 p.m. PST |
We never do something particularly clever, ever. |
Silent Pool | 12 Dec 2016 11:02 p.m. PST |
It's always best not to. However, a moment of stunned silence is usually the giveaway sign! |

Look him squarely in the eyes, pause for dramatic effect, then ask in a low voice, "are you sure you want to do that?" |
javelin98 | 13 Dec 2016 4:17 p.m. PST |
I usually take the pipe out of my mouth, arch the eyebrow that isn't holding in the monocle, and say, "Well-played, sir. Well played." |
etotheipi | 13 Dec 2016 4:23 p.m. PST |
"Well played!" and a handshake. Usually followed by (depending on how well I know the opponents), "I think I'm screwed … but I'm not giving up!" |
grtbrt | 16 Dec 2016 8:46 a.m. PST |
I don't – nor do I show disapproval for his moves(unless they are/were illegal ) . They are just moves, no more no less. We can chat about them later . |
edmuel2000 | 16 Dec 2016 9:53 a.m. PST |
I usually leer over at them and in my best Herbert Lom voice say, "How I hate you."
|
grtbrt | 16 Dec 2016 1:19 p.m. PST |
Though I do at times -amuse myself by saying things like " really, THAT"S where you are moving them to ? hhmmm" then watching then struggle with something they think they missed . |
Covert Walrus | 18 Dec 2016 12:55 p.m. PST |
Usually a "Nicely done" is my response. Occasionally it's more like " I wish you hadn't done that . . " or "Oh, great!" |
