**Gad Offer N-1: NAF, I’ll offer you looks at all the rules I have for looks at all the rules you have, plus one white rose**

(I have a rule no one else has, and it’s worth it.)

If my count is correct, rule 3 is the only unique rule.

Ben #3: Gad, I will GIVE you my rule 6 in exchange for a look at your rule 3. Offer automatically cancelled if NAF accepts Gad’s N-1 (as NAF has this rule too).

Okay.

* * *

\*\*  
I just got word that people are sending Rule PMs directly. \*\*  
\*\*  
Please wait until either ChrisK or I can do this.

It is the only way we as Moderators can know that everything is legit. \*\*

Maha feel free to make me a counter offer better for you than NAF #2. I’m off to a meeting now, so I can’t do an active bidding war for now.
