[QUOTE=Antinor01] Totally out of the game, but I keep hearing “We are Borg.” whenever I read your offering posts now. It is keeping me amused. [/QUOTE] 😃 It’s all about the assimilation…! Meeko, I’ll have to see what phi thinks about your counteroffer…I’m not thrilled that every single trade being offered to us right now doesn’t even have the pretense of being an equal trade, but oh well. ---

Antinor, since you’re here, would you like to make any trades? We don’t even have to worry about the potion now - just regular, across the board trades. Rule #20 is in play for you if you’re interested. ---

[QUOTE=ArizonaTeach] I’m not sure I understand…you want us to just **give** you the grey wand? [/QUOTE] While this would be preferable no I don’t expect it I plan on trading for it once you’ve seen 15 and you know the damage the wand will do to you. I was just hoping to see more then one scroll for a look at 15. ---

[QUOTE=Meeko] Antinor, I’m open for trades too. [/QUOTE] It seems I have no information you don’t have. So a trade would have to be for items, I’m not sure about giving up anything yet. Arizona/phi, You mentioned an interest in seeing rule 5. I also hold rule 11 which would be of interest to your team. I would need a really good offer to give you that information though. ---

[/QUOTE] I like the cut of your jib, sir. Rule #20 is always on the table for you, and I suppose we could let you see the legendary #22. We’d also be inclined to include 4 gold in exchange for one of your garnet gems. Let me make it official: **phi/Teach to Antinor 1** : We will give you a look at Rule #20, a look at Rule #22, and 4 gold in exchange for a look at Rules #5 and 11 and a garnet gem. **Alternately:** **phi/Teach to Antinor 2** : We will give you a look at Rule #20, and 4 gold in exchange for a look at one of Rules #5 and 11 (your choice) and a garnet gem. ---
