3♠x made 9 tricks when N led a trump.
3♦ was alerted,
W: "not sure but think it might not be natural"
S: "so it's not just a second suit"
W: "not sure"
E: "just say no agreement"
S is now stuffed as if 3♦ is natural, X is T/O, if 3♦ is conventional, X shows ♦
N is now stuffed for the same reason, he doesn't know what S's X is, would bid 3♥ if he was sure it was T/O leading to a 4♣ contract which can make but chooses to pass.
E clearly thought 3♦ was natural, so shouldn't he be passing 3♦X after partner gives preference ?
If W was announcing 3♦ as possibly conventional, should he be passing which partner might interpret as willingness to play there ?
