Not all the time? Games don't always have rules and ethics. I see the shell game like a fumble in football. When there is a fumble everyone goes at the ball and the first person to get it, well, gets it. It doesn't matter who is closer to the ball or not- whoever gets the ball gets the ball... Soo... Who ever is fast enough to click on a shell is fast enough to click on a shell. That's what makes it a game, trying to beat out the people around you. If games had turns and sharing, they just wouldn't be as fun.
And it's a virtual game guys, I don't even see the need for this to be posted. XD

I don't find it mean-spirited, I don't find it a big deal in anyway, like its a game of shells do people really care that much to get mad over it?
The majority of the time I think most people click shells that aren't right next to other people because usually at least I would, assume that persons going to get cause they are RIGHT there so I'd having a higher chance on clicking another one, but sometimes they are afk or something so I'll take it.

Agreed.
Off:Topic rant
The Shells game isn't even a game in my opinion, it's just mindless clicking. Because of that I'd stick with Jungle Cruise or Fireworks (two mindless games as well, but objectively more challenging.) Also, the fact that it takes nearly a minute to collect ~70ish credits sounds, and is, way too tedious to me, and another reason to avoid wasting time with it. The only plus is the less secluded aspect when earning credits. I hope Shells becomes an inadequate source of credits when POTC or HM comes out.

My personal opinion: if someone takes a shell that's right next to me yeah I'll probably be annoyed for a second or two but that's the nature of the game. I don't really like it so much because of this. But if you honestly get angry enough to start a fight when someone takes a shell near you then I recommend getting your credits in a different way... It's a weak game and I don't think it deserves so much reading into it. But all in all I agree with OP, if you choose to get your credits via shells you're gonna have to learn to tolerate people getting shells near you. And take a little responsibility, because both people in this scenario had an equal chance to get the said shell regardless of whether it appears right next to someone.
Well honestly the only time it bothers me is when someone crosses the room to get a clam right in front of me while passing ones that were closer to them. lol sometimes I think it is reflex more then anything. But I have had to leave the room after getting really angry at a clam swipers and no game is worth that.
People get so into it that they get mad. I just ignore them and go to another room. They should calm down.
I see your point...but I can see both points actually. It is frustrating when you are
right next to a shell & someone else takes it.
I think its more respectful to get the nearest shell next you, instead of going
across the room to get one. But, hey, like they say at my work in you want to go
to the bar, its "first come, first serve".
