I am considering Mahaloth and NAF’s requests for my plat necklace. I need to see more rules though since I’m rather behind on that score, will entertain offers.

My goal in this game is to not screw anyone over if I can help it. I offered Pede something because we haven’t traded yet, if you are in the market to sell roses I am in the market to buy. You want to get rid of all your conversation hearts like they don’t have value that’s on you.

How about this.

NAF offer Antior2 - I will trade you my red conversation hearts for your platinum necklace and a look at any 2 rules I have.

Rules don’t have a lot of value to me anymore, I am happy to share.

Pending for the moment since I have two offers for the necklace. Once I get some more rule info, I’ll decide.

Withdraw Offer Antinor and Antinor2

Go for Maha’s offer. I can’t really match that.

Antinor, are you willing to part with any of your roses? I can’t offer as much for them as I did the necklace, but

NAF offer Antinor3 - I would give you a look at 2 rules and a single red conversation heart for your pink rose.

I concur with NAF’s assessment. 🙂

I think we also need to give Meeko a chance to PM out rules and so forth to people that need them. He needs to catch up.

Me too and I need Meeko to catch us up with trades and looks and so forth before I can act much further.
