Sheriff of Nottingham
← All Sheriff of Nottingham questions
If the Sheriff threatens an inspection and nobody bribes him, must he open the bag?
The rulebook gives the Sheriff two choices per bag, so a threat is not itself a decision.

No. A threat alone creates no obligation. Once the Sheriff decides about a bag, he must either accept the final bribe and hand the bag back, or refuse it and open the bag. Until he decides, he is not committed either way.
