Decline. I only have 1 Pink rose, and I think I ought to hold on to it, Mr. I’ve-seen-almost-all-the-rules.

All I’ve got left that you haven’t seen is rule 14.  
Ben #11 counter Digger #7: Will show you rule 14 in exchange for you showing me rule 11 and giving me 1 Red rose.

> **Digger 10: Scuba I’ll trade you my Pink conversation heart for your vase of water**

Accept Digger 10.  
Withdraw Ben #8.

Housekeeping, bringing my open offers forward so I can keep track of them.:  
Ben offer #9: Mahaloth, a look at my rule 14 for a look at your rule 16.  
Ben #10 to Mahaloth or Pedescribe: Will give you rule 6 and an item of your choice in exchange for you giving me rule 15.

I will keep my offer to you open Ben. You just make your roses worthless to you. If you had pulled the trigger you might have known why.

Hmm… since you’re keeping it open, I’ll reconsider. Accept NAF offer Ben.

I don’t think so I don’t have many pieces left of tradeable value but you need the information as much as I do and considering we’ve both seen 4 that’s a pretty unreasonable trade. But considering that I have a rule advantage to you I’ll go 2 for 1 and;

**Digger offer 11; Ben I’ll give you looks at 5 and 11 for a look at 14**

NAF, Meeko is denying me to see rule 6 since I originally requested a different one. I changed it quickly.

I had already seen Rule 2. Didn’t have my notes with me.

Therefore, I have an offer.

You had already seen 2, so it’s no thing.

Figured it would go this way.

No problem.

Just feel like modding a game of Haggle is something no one can estimate the work load of.
