Mythical ruling!

DITTag

I dip and declare im out. I put down my hand which is 2c 2h 2s 7h 8h 10h and 7c 8c 9c 10c Jc. I was then informed I had to muck by player A. I had just simply forgot too. So I muck the Jc. Player D then says that because I did not muck straight away the other players get one more dip to improve there hand in any way. I know this is the rule if you say you are out and muck before you put your hand down.

What is the correct ruling? Smurph? Joe O Neill?

Haven't a clue.
However I'd love to know how to play.
Does anyone have a link to the rules of Mythical?
Tried googling it but no joy.

Makes no sense.

Its a form of rummy, learn how to play that and next time theyre playing in the jackpot or whatever youll pick it up very quickly.

Mythical is a weird game. I like it, but the regulars like to pounce on any mistake no matter how small! THere is usually a rule associated with making a mistake too and some of them make sense.

One rule/mistake states that as soon as you discard into the muck your go is over. This is fair enough. It keeps the game running smoothly. What sometimes happens is people discard and then anounce they are out revealing their hand. They are not in fact 'out' because it is not their go any more. They will have to wait one round until it reaches them again. I have done this a few times. Everyone laughs and Oscar usually picks up a one-outer too. I understand this rule and it is fair enough.

Another rule/mistake that occurs is when someone thinks they are out but they are not. They must reveal their hand and leave it exposed on the table and cannot move their groups around. They can only change one card in one grouping each go.. Again this is fair enough because it ****s up the game and you should be punished.

In your case you announced you were 'out' and declared your hand. You then forgot to discard. The action has not yet movd on to the next player so it is still your go. You were legitimately 'out'. You then realised you had to discard and did so yourself (without the help of others)... I don't see anything wrong with this, and if there is a rule associated with this mistake that gives all players one more 'dip' the I think the rule is wrong. This particular mistake does not slow the game down or cause problems for the rest of the game. It would be similar to someone in poker saying they were all in but forgetting to put their chips across the line.

that's not a rule in mythical.

I think you were done tbh. They probably just made up the rule there and then

Mr.Plough

ive played rummie for years, anyone care to explain the differences?

I was not playing Trippie, I was at the final table of the tournament at the time thank you very much! Having thought on it Tag I think you were out at that stage and I was wrong at the time. If you had thrown then dropped then the others have a free dip but you did it in the right order albeit in an unusual way.

I think you are out.

And good luck googling the rules Shadowless, only way to learn this game is to ask, sit down and play and then lose about €100 learning to play it right. Unless you are Shane and are luckier than a horse-shoe stapled to a rabbits foot.

Exactly what I taught Niall. Only one player present agreed with me.

if you are playing with Oscar and this happens he will swear blind that it has always been a rule.

I take it ya didn win it then?? who won it?

Kenneth split it with a guy who should have been out well before that but the deck hit him in the face for about half an hour. I came third. It was the bloody Lazarus table, you couldn't knock anyone out for love nor money. Even when I had only 2,500 left after Kenneth stacked me i got A-A straight away. Ridiculous table. I was genuinely glad to make ff with some money and I went and span it up in cash anyway.

Its funny `coz its true.

Well obviously itd be different if I was in the game.

I have always heard the rule about people putting their hands down as you cant change it, I would say the rule comes from Kalooki and other Rummy variants where you put hands down.
