[QUOTE=sachertorte]

Your assertion that rule 19 has the same relative value because only two people have rule 19 and only two people have the letter V is flat out WRONG. There are only two ‘V’ cards in the game. Multiple people can ‘know’ the contents of rule 19 and they do. Showing a rule doesn’t really cost the revealer a whole lot. Giving up a letter is a lost tangible asset. This should be obvious.

Then your amazement at the exchange of Rule #7 makes even less sense, especially now that I’ve seen it.

I certainly do have information about that Y, but showing you that before getting the Y would mean taking a huge risk. Serves me right for not thinking, I guess. Let me know if you change your mind.
[/QUOTE]

Hmmm, I seem to have two Y cards…

263

USCDiver is holding a couple of Ys, I notice. Unless I’m more vastly mistaken than a man who thinks Hilaire Belloc is still alive, I have a couple of letters he might be interested in. Might we be able to work something out for a Y?

Yeah, USDiver, it’s pretty funny how sachertorte is making people think his rule #7 is valuable enough to trade for… But then, you know all about that :stuck_out_tongue:

265

And, of course, it’s not a game without simulposting.

266

Gnight all my hagglers, I’ll be checking for PMs in the morning. :slight_smile:

Yeah, no kidding. I’ve seen rule #7 and it ain’t all that.

Hmm, I know your I card is valuable to you, but there are more of them than Y cards including at least one player holding more than one.

USCDiver Offer #17: Priceguy gets one of my Y cards in exchange for an I card

Looks like it’s just you and me here right now Priceguy, care to make any more deals?

273

I would like a C card, if I could interest you in something. I’m also a bit low on rules knowledge, if you catch my drift.

(I think we should use more flowery language in this game)

As you no doubt know, the C card is quite valuable and I would be loathe to part with it so hastily.

Also, unfortunately, you have no Rules of which I am unaware. But fortunately I have several of which you are unaware..

Let me ruminate on this predicament and see if I can come up with a mutually beneficial arangement.

Feel free to propose what you deem to be advantageous to each of us…

275

Let’s get some of the less active players involved.

Priceguy offer #7: I offer nesta an F card, an N card and a look at rule 7 in exchange for a C card, an I card and a look at one rule of his or her choice that I haven’t seen (currently all held).

276

[QUOTE=sachertorte]
sachertorte offer #8 to nesta: I will show you rule #7 in exchange for a look at rule #11
[/QUOTE]

I accept sachertorte offer #8. I sill show rule #11 in exchange for seeing the coveted rule #7.

277

Offer nesta #3: I will show billyb0b, Dragoness, or Priceguy rule #10 in exchange for seeing rule #13.

Don’t let someone else steal your chance!
