[QUOTE=NAF1138] ChrisK can you make this happen? She accepted my offer#1, see top of the page and the quote. [/QUOTE] Are you sure about this? **Revenant** already copied you #7 on that same offer, so you’ve got it already. I would think that would invalidate the offer unless **FarmerChick** wants to give you a different rule. ---

Adjusted NAF offer #1 I will give anyone a copy of my rule 1 or 4 for a copy of rule 5, 6, 9, 10 or 17. The above offer is good until I say it is not. ---

[QUOTE=Santo Rugger] Holy shit, what the hell did I get myself into? Santo#1 - Will trade a look at your rule pertaining green items to my rule pertaining blue items. [/QUOTE] Just for the record, this is a little unusual, but I’m ruling it as a legal offer… the catch being that if anybody takes it, (I’m assuming it’s available for any haggler since he didn’t mention a specific name,) anybody else paying attention will still be able to see which rule slips are exchanged, and thus will be able to figure out which rule mentions green items and which rule mentions blue items. The rule numbers won’t be mentioned clearly in the thread, but they’ll show up on the next update for anybody who cares enough to figure them out. Still, I have to say I admire the bold move from a newbie! 🙂 ---

To start: Yes, I’ve been drinking. **chrisk** , I didn’t know it was bold, I’m just trying to figure it out, but thanks! **NAF** , it’s cool if nobody wants to trade with me. Knowing what I know compared with the things I have, make me thing I’m doing alright, so far, regardless of trades. But, to each their own. If you don’t wanna find out about the blues, just keep your rules to yourself. kthxbye\* To end: This Heineken is treating me nicely 😃 \*I don’t know why I find that so funny. ---
