For comp play though, I've no issue with you (or squidface) if you snipe an Order Marker off of me knowing fully well it was a numbered one. Especially true if I was just putting OMs in order (like I do a vast majority of the time).
Really, its no different than if I focus fire a hero with 2 Order Markers on it knowing that you are going to lose at least 1 turn if that hero dies.

I disagree with the last line, this poll is about something completely different than choosing to destroy opponent’s figures to remove their turns. While I agree with the mentality of “if you are watching my habits like a hawk and snipe my OMs to punish me, that’s just being competitive,” the thing that gets me with the poll here is the word random. It’s not very random if you can use knowledge to pluck specific OMs with any reasonable amount consistency.
Perhaps quantifying/clarifying that would be more troublesome for me to do... but it’s how I feel about this, in a nutshell.

And that's perfectly fair and valid. I'd much rather have fun with the game than not, and fighting over a small mechanic at the game table is something I'd rather not bother with.

In casual games, I agree with being fast and loose with some rules. Heck, I often let my wife cheat by moving order markers between her army cards right in the middle of a round just so she can activate different figures.
I suppose if there were money or prizes on the line (say a tournament) I personally would absolutely want to follow option #1. Of course, even if I were a TD I would never force everyone to follow that rule if all parties involved in a specific game didn't care about whatever method they were already using. However if a fuss were to come up about it, I'd tell players to chuck the D20 to determine which OM is removed. Iron fist meme goes here.
