Section 14 - Secrecy

This is an issue on which rules are often unclear. Even when clear, they are often ignored, or deliberately contravened for the sake of improving the game.

[ In Nick Wedd's circle, they play with all money open for inspection, because of a mythical player called "Clive". Clive always knows exactly how much money each player and company has, because he mentally notes the effect of every transaction. However, he takes time to do this, and makes the game unbearably slow when secrecy is in force. Note that secret transactions foil even Clive. ]
