> [@Oredigger77](#): > > Umm . . . I think everyone but Pede and Maha has seen the rule anyhow. Not very good leverage. How? You aren’t listed as having seen rule three, and only me and Gad had seen it before now. You are offering 10 points to Ben to see it. I am saying I will give it to you for free. Or are we talking about different things? ---

Oy, I just did a score calculation. I may withdraw offer BenMail. Ben is way far out of the game. Pede too acutally. ---

Ben. Here is what I would like to do. I want to beat Digger, which is why I let him give you 10 points for not that much return. So, I would like to give you my copy of rule six and my forever yours heart. You can burn rule six if you like, but I would like to not be stuck with it. If you would like to use the forever yours heart on Digger, that would be ideal since he is far and away the points leader right now, but you don’t have to. Do what you feel is best. All I want in return is rule three, which won’t give me the lead over him, but will put me close enough that I have a fighting chance. ---

Should we consider a shorter time frame ? \*\* Weekends just aren’t good for me since I don’t use my computer much and my haggle spreadsheet is on my work computer. I wouldn’t shrink the time frame but then again I have no clue when the game is supposed to end. Pede, flowers are worthless to you but I’ll trade you something that actually has value for your flowers and a look at 10 take a look and see what you’d like. Maha, I don’t think were in the middle of negotiations but I’m interested in buying flowers if you want to make a trade. ---
