Do you get the discount if you build a room in a different way?
I said yes (because the card is horrible otherwise) but the other 3 players thought no, in a recent game. 		nwoll

I would say YES. The card can be divided into two mutually exclusive functions in my opinion:
1) build room when another player uses the 1r spot;
2) receive a discount on clay and stone rooms.

If you compare the wording of Riparian Builder with for instance Heiress. It becomes even more obvious. 		erpelboer

I don't think it's obvious, but I do like that better.
I will be playing it that way in my games.
So new wording perhaps:
"Each time you build a clay/stone room you may pay 1clay/2stone less. Each time another player uses the "Take 1 Reed" action space you may build 1 room."		 sandswoll

Since the last clause follows a colon and is not a new sentence, I would say that you only get the discount if you build a room when another player takes 1 Reed.

I disagree based on this card:


That card makes it very clear as to whether the discount works on a normal build action. So we see what text is used to communicate that intent and it's not the text on Riparian Builder. (Or the people who chose the wording on the new cards are idiots) 		nwoll

Agree with nwoll.

The placement of a colon is weird anyway. A simple dot (.) to mark the end of a sentence, or a semi-colon ( to add an extra function to this card would be preferred in my opinion. 		erpelboer

It's certainly worded poorly and I agree it can be interpreted either way. Too bad they didn't write "whenever" instead of "if", if that was their intent. chris
