[QUOTE=sinjin] Wow; I didn’t think I said anything out of line or. I didn’t mean to imply that phi/teach were infringing on your perogatives or claiming powers they didn’t have. I was commenting strongly on the new corporation’s trading policies. I will say no more. sinjin#6 withdrawn [/QUOTE] By the way, if I’m officially warning you for saying something out of line, I’ll make it clearer than that. (Probably use the ‘booming voice’ pedal or something like that. :D) But you did mention ‘laying down the rules for the rest of the game,’ which sounded like it was at least a light-hearted implication that someone was infringing on my perogatives, since I laid down the rules for the start of the game. No biggie. T minus around 1 hour 5 minutes on my trip to Concord. Wonder if **phi2dao** will arrive and sign off on the partnership deal before then? ---

Alright, I’m off for the day. Bye guys, and sorry that we’re still a little bit stuck in merger limbo. ---

At/Phi I am worrying that you are going to want to trade for the wand instead of just handing it over after I show you 15. Which will be a losing proposition for me. I will get the wand and you will get whatever we trade for plus not having the wand. On the other hand if you keep both you take the large minus and I stay the same. I think my only way to get a trade that benefits us both is for me to come ahead in the trade for the rule. All that being said I think I will need to see all three of the 20 series. ---

Sorry for taking so long, I approve the merger conditions with **ArizonaTeach**. I approve the four-or-so offers he made in our name. I can’t wait until I see what rules we have! ---

[QUOTE=sinjin] Since you are concerned about how many coins I have I offer; sinjin#6: phi/teach 17 of my copper coins for 4 of your gold coins. [/QUOTE] Meeko Offer S1 Sin, I will give you 4 of my gold for 16 of your copper. - I withdrew all my offers. Hence S = Second batch. ---

Time to start Breaking this game even further. It’s gone sideways recently. Lets keep it going that way. Speculation: I am willing to bet that Rule 22 relates to Potions, and sets up a an additonal modification in score, if someone hold all Potions. If You have seen 21, this makes sense, as to why ArizonaTeach wants potions, in spite of 21. ---

Our trade of 4 gold for 2 platinum is still open, but you offer whatever trade you want for the rule - OR the Grey Wand, which I **guarantee** will benefit your final tally. ---

[QUOTE=Meeko] Meeko Offer S2 Phi/Teach – 2 of my Platnium for 4 of your gold, a look at rule 22 and a gray wand. [/QUOTE] I think you meant to color this blue…and it’s really a huge net loss for us and **huge** net gain for you. It needs to be a little bit more fair (just as a frame of reference, the Grey Wand, to you, is worth about 10-15 extra points in the endgame). How about this: **Meeko** , we will trade **four** of our gold pieces and a look at Rule #22 for **two** of you platinum pieces and a look at Rule #10. ---
