Haggle - a game of trading and secrets

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
201

Okay, how’s everybody doing? I know that it’s been a wild and crazy first day - think I’m speaking for a lot of us when I say I hope things calm down a bit.

Heading to bed now, anybody who wants to can continue to trade, and PM their own trades… just remember to make everything by the book and play well together, and things should be great.

At the moment, I have 31 PM slots free. We probably won’t have enough overnight activity that those will all be used up, but bear that in mind.

And, here’s the big board results

Man, you guys are insane!

Repost Dragoness offer #1: I offer a look at rule #13, 4, or 5, in exchange for a look at rule #14 Omi No Kami, this is especially directed at you.

Withdraw Dragoness offer #2

Repost Dragoness offer #3: I offer anybody a look at rule 4, 5, or 13 in exchange for a look at any rule I don’t have, still in effect.

And finally, Dragoness offer #4: I will give anyone a D, X, or H card in exchange for an A, O, or C (time to start actually trading cards instead of just rules!)

In general, I want A and O, and am willing to trade some combination of a rule/card- make me an offer.

203

Here I was, counting on a nice slow Friday so I could jump into this game (and keep up with Mafia3), and instead we end up with a damned crisis at work. Now I feel like I’m way behind.

I haven’t had time to really catch up, but I might as well propose a trade:

nesta trade #1: I will show rule 11 to someone who will show me one rule 2-9, as long as I haven’t seen that particular rule yet.

Come on, any takers?

If anyone offered me any trades that are still valid feel free to point them out again now that I can follow the thread.

204

Sorry nesta, I’ve seen 11. But my three offers are in the post right before yours, 202.
It’s all in this post. Just say what exactly you want to trade in green. (pretty please?)

205

Accept Dragoness offer #3: I will show rule 1 in exchange for being shown rule 4

Dragoness, do you want to do this now or wait for chrisk to be back online?

206

I accept this offer: Rule 19 for one A card

207

I accept #US2. I will show Uncommon Sense rule #1 to see rule #14.

208

Offer nesta #2: I will show someone rule 1, 10, 11, or 17 in exchange for either an A or an I.

209

Withdraw that one.

Instead, Dragoness offer 5: I will give a D or H card and a peek at rule 4, 5, or 13 in return for a look at rule 14 and a letter card of your choice.

And, Dragoness offer 6: I give a D or H card and a peek at rule 4, 5, or 13 for a peek at any rule I haven’t seen and an O or C

But I’m rather flexible… not just O or C, make me an offer. Sorry if these sound complicated, but I want to throw a lot of options out for people- surely there’s something in there that interests you!

210

Accepted.

211

Oooh, Priceguy is back.

USCDiver offer #11: for Priceguy, in exchange for your I Card and a look at Rule #7, I offer a J Card and a look at Rule #19

212

Counteroffer: Priceguy offer #4: I offer USCDiver his choice of an F card or an L card plus a look at rule 7 for an M card and a look at rule 19.

213

I wanted to check that it was okay to release the name: Omi no Kami
If we can’t find a substitute, Omi’s portfolio will probably remain moribund for most of the game, until sometime during the last week it’ll get probated by the state. :smiley:

214

Okay, looks like we had a fairly quiet night. Four trades, two self-handled with PMs quite well, two of them that I assume were NOT self-handled because I got no copies. :smiley:

And still something like 19 days to go! :eek: :smiley:

Ok one more offer before I go to bed (working the night shift this weekend)
USCDiver offer #12: for percypercy, I will show you the invaluable Rule #8 and Card K in exchange for a look at Rule 14 and Card U

216

I don’t have an M card to give you, mon frere…

counter offer USCDiver offer #14: You get a look at rule #8 in exchange for your I card

217

I’ve been taking a casual look. It seemed kind of interesting to see if I could determine the relative worth of the letters based on trade offers and such. But I’ve determined enough to see that it’s not really that simple.

I would say that this game seems difficult to play in an online environment. Players not present at the start of trading are at a distinct disadvantage. Furthermore, a player in an unpopular time zone or with restricted internet access hours pretty much can’t play.

218

So does that mean you’re not interested in subbing in for Kami? :wink:

219

Arright…I’m outta here until Monday. I’ll be on sporadically later today, posting from my in-laws, but most of the weekend will be pretty much a wash for me. Still, feel free to make me an offer and I’ll do my best to pop in and see if it’s worthwhile.

Happy trading, all!

220

Well, I could. But I wouldn’t expect much from me. 1) Most information has been traded already. 2) It’s a holiday weekend.

I suppose a half dead fish is better than a fully dead fish.
