OK, I think that the wreath is more valuable to you then the cane would be to me, but apperantly not as valuable as I thought. Counter offer #2:How bout the blue cane and a look at rule 6 for the wreath? ---

From what rules i’ve seen so far, i’m not too unhappy about a stalemate. Of course this probably means that the ones I haven’t seen are “Minus 500 points if your name is Revenant”, so, you know. ---

Just to let you know, I’ve got my scoring subroutines mostly online for this ruleset now, so I can see who’s in the lead and who’s trailing at the moment. Some interesting stuff - but everything can go up in the air based on just one deal, so keep at it people! ---
