I forgot this one. Let's see... In Linares, when players agree on a quick draw
or don't play for blood they get a heavy fine that they must pay to Rentero. In
the game just finished, Junior 6 and Shredder 4 drew without much effort in my
opinion. Therefore, and being the Rentero of Cadaqués, I should be entitled to
$$$. :)
