NAF2b -Maha sorry for screwing around like this. Rule 6 for rule 15 swap straight up Mods- I parsed the trade with Gad the way you did, but would be happy to just cancel the rose action altogether since the rules have already been seen. ---

> [@Meeko](#): > > I asked chrisk how to handle this. Will get back to you. I mean, I was giving him a look at the one unique rule in the game…why would I be throwing in a rose on top of it? (Let’s not talk about how one white rose is paltry compensation anyway. _sigh_) ---

Sorry, about that Gada I just got your rules from our last trade. I think that I can do better. NAF based on rule 5, 9, and 12 you know this should be about even **Digger offer 2: NAF I’ll give you rule 1 for your Gold Earing** ---
