For further follow up:
The formation of the leader’s posse follows a special routine for jobs. Note all of these steps happen sequentially and before any opposing posses are formed.
- First, unbooted dudes at the location of the leader can join the posse by booting. Once you’ve selected all of these dudes, you move to the next step.
- Second, any unbooted dudes adjacent to the location of the leader, may boot to join the posse (but do not move to the location of the leader). Once you’ve selected all of these dudes, move to the next step.
- Third, all dudes currently in the leader’s posse move sequentially to the location of the mark. Once your current posse is at the mark, you move to the next step.
- Fourth, any unbooted dudes adjacent to the location of the mark may boot to join the leader’s posse and move to the location of the mark. Once you’ve selected all of these dudes, you move to the next step.
- Fifth, any dudes at the location of the mark may join the leader’s posse (even if booted) and do not need to boot to join the leader’s posse. Once all of these dudes have been selected, the leader’s posse is considered to be fully formed.
One way to remember this is the following: The leader gets people at his location to join him first, then “yells” to dudes adjacent to his location that there is a job to be done and those dudes join if they can.
