All players should have a PM with the text of their rules now. (If by some freak chance anybody doesn’t, PM me or say so here.)
Trade offers may now begin. Trade deadline is Thursday, June 14th, at 9 pm eastern, that’s not quite 3 weeks away, with a final submission deadline one day later, Friday the 15th at 9 pm.
Then, I can score and hopefully announce a winner that Saturday.
Good luck, all Hagglers!

Bossperson, can we get a quick tally of how many of each rule and letter are in play? Or do I need to do that myself?
Woohoo, first offer!
USCDiver offer #1: I offer Hal Briston Rule 19 for Rule 1
Well as long as we’re both up:
Doctor Who Offer #1: I will give USCDiver a look at Rule #8 in exchange for an O card.

Oh, deary dear. My mistake - I must be more careful with such details. Please accept my humblest of apologies. I will consider your … generous … offer carefully.
Bossperson, a couple of my rules are a bit confusing. I’m not sure if it’s part of the game or not, but can I ask for clarification in PM?

You may ask, but you might not receive any helpful answer. Some of the rules are enigmatic by design, and will become clearer if and when you can acquire further info.
And you didn’t number your offer to Doctor Who

My bad, I didn’t know if ‘counter offers’ would get a new numbering system separate from ‘offers’

No, You can say ‘as a counter-offer, I would like to propose ChrisK offer #4…’ or something. The fact that they’re counter-offers doesn’t matter, and we’ll probably get to counter-counter-counter-offers before this is through, if not further.

Roger that. Do you have an official title? I don’t even know if you’re a chick or a dude.
Also any thoughts on giving out totals for Letters and Rules available in the game?
Omi no Kami Offer #1: I’ll give Doctor Who a T in exchange for seeing card #13 before he gives it away.
Omi no Kami Offer #2: I will let anybody look at rule #7 in exchange for an M card.
Well that is an interesting thought… How about this? Straight up - no whammies - let’s just get this over with and start winning this game?
Doctor Who Offer #2: I’ll give Omi no Kami a look at Rule #13 in exchange for a look at Rule #14.

As a counter offer USCDiver Offer #3: Since I don’t have an M, I will give you Rule 19 for a look at Rule 7

Mister Chris, Honored Moderator, HaggleMaster, any of those titles will do just fine. 
As far as totals - I’m not going to give you those total counts, when the information is all available in the kickoff update. If you want me to take a look at what you’ve added up and see if it matches my own notes, I’ll be happy to.
(On the other hand, it might be better just to come up with your own counts and not post them for other players to see. )

Chrisk, I’d like to clarify something: is this a zero-sum game (meaning what we start with is all we’ve got), or is there the potential for new letters to be added as play progresses?

There will be no rule slips or cards added as play progressed.
However, it’s not ‘zero-sum’ in a scoring sense, as there are many possible reorganizations of the available cards that will lead to higher scores than what the starting kits are worth.
Priceguy offer #1: I offer percypercy an R card and an O card in exchange for a U card and a look at rule 14.
