The effect of a wasteful (loss of a piece)

I've only had Wasteful once or twice. Replacing the removed piece and completing the hole perfectly afterward results in a Craftsmanship, just as though one piece too many was used. Grain bonus seems to still apply.

The effect of a hole expanding

The game docs say an unattended hole will expand by one square (1/5th of one piece), making a Masterpiece impossible. This should allow for Craftsmanship at minimum, but I've not observed if more than one extra square makes a Craftsmanship impossible. It would depend on where the extra squares appear.

Ok, and what effect do these have on the score (the point count that determines the yellow-ness of your indicator)? --Behindcurtai 18:55, 16 September 2006 (PDT)

From what I've seen on the Wasteful... it only eliminates the ability to get a Masterpiece, and has no direct affect on scoring. The indicator didn't change noticably just because a piece flew off. --Dobdobbodpa
