To play... especially if opps are walruses, to whom "weak 2 = 6-10 hcp, 6 cards", regardless of suit strength :)

I'm not sure what you're trying to imply about walruses, and I probably don't want to hear what you call the folks playing "weak 2 = 3-8 hcp, 5+ cards" either!

Here in Fantasyland, sometimes regarded as part of Europe, pass means "no preference" after 1x dbl rdbl, and also after 1x pass 1y dbl rdbl.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

In Norway it's standard that 1x - X - XX - p is no preference.
Some play it as penalty - I have done so - but not many.

Last time I looked, we were part of Europe (though not EU), so saying pass as penalty is standard in Europe isn't correct. It may be in parts of Europe for sure.
Kind regards,
Harald
