Accept Meeko 4 : Look at Thing Fish Rule 3 for 2 Copper.

And as I said, the deal is off on the other two rules.

[QUOTE=Thing Fish]  
Not sure if you are offering to trade looks or actual scrolls. In either case, I would accept and choose rule 2, but you need to clarify. I will not trade my copy of the scroll for a mere look at yours, though  
[/QUOTE]

I’m putting a hold on this trade offer until **sinjin** checks in regarding it, since he has acquired rule 16 from someone else in the meantime.

[QUOTE=Meeko]  
EDIT:

I am confused T. Fish. Are you offering Look at 2 and 3 for a total payment of 4 Copper?  
[/QUOTE]

You’ve probably figured this out yourself, but **Thing Fish** ’s remark about rule 2 which you quoted was in reference to an **MHaye** trade offer.

And what were you editing for? 🙂

Thingfish, chrisk: yes I was offering to trade scroll for scroll so I think we have a deal on your 16 for my 18.

[QUOTE=phi2dao]  
What’s the benefit of switching scrolls if you want to keep them secret? They’re secret as it is.  
[/QUOTE]  
Ah, because then I’ll have the only copies of one of them, and you’ll have the only copies of the other one. That makes them infinitely more valuable when others want a peek at them.

[/QUOTE]

So you’re aware that you’re buying a second copy of 16? Okay, sorry, I guess I was a little lost. My tracking program throws up a warning whenever a player already has a rule that he or she is getting in a trade, which is usually helpful to tell me when I’m putting the rule in on the wrong side of the trade. 😃

**Oredigger** , **Antinor** , your rule PM has been reconstructed and sent out. Not quite sure how I managed to punch it in and not send it out.

**sinjin** , I’m not bothering to list that you have 2 copies of scroll 16 on the update. If you ever want to trade one of them away again and keep the other, remind me and I’ll create the second copy for whoever it is again.

[/QUOTE]

I had accepted a deal that wasnt availible. The edit was to remove accepting rule 2. Never offered to me. I gain nothing from the edit, I don’t see the sin.
