Did this offer even go through?

Not when I didn’t see **Arizona** accepting it properly. 🙂

Whoops - I sent out a PM with this trade logged, forgetting that **phi** needed to sign off. Apparently, though, it cancelled before the hamsters got the message.

If any of the three of you receive a PM with the subject line of Meeko Offer S14, please let me know.  
[/QUOTE]

Meeko would like to take this time to remind you, that while haggle is fun, please remember one thing.  
WHAT ABOUT THE HAMSTERS?! Are they not victims too?

To clarify, **Arizona** , did you intend to accept this offer, and if so, can you tell me at what post?

**phi** , this might have been one of the ones you rubberstamped as ‘I approve the two offers **Arizona** made since the merge’, but that’s unhelpful for me doing the paperwork, especially without being able to find **Arizona** ’s acceptance.

So, can either of you help me out? Or do you want to start from scract on this offer, stipulating that it wasn’t finalized before, since it’s still open and **Meeko** still seems to want the gold?

Or do you want to put it on hold until Meeko Offer S14 comes through and see if he still wants the gold then?

OOOOHHH…I think I see what the problem is. I offered the trade originally in blue, than Meeko \*\*reiterated \*\* the trade in blue, **and** I think he accepted in green. **Phi** then came along and approved my offer.

But, you know, **Meeko** , let’s put it on the backburner until you see Rule #20. I’m ok with that. If not, the trade seems to be a go.

Sorry the dual-thing is causing problems… **phi** , you wanna just agree to make trades solo? I figure we’ve both got the best interests of the team at heart.

**chrisk** , I received no PM, so it seems we’re good.

**Antinor** , I didn’t forget about you. I’m waiting to hear **phi’s** thoughts on the offer, though.

I agree to backburner the gold/silver trade.

I did not get a PM “Meeko S14” either.

In the name of simplicity, I think that it would be best if both me and **ArizonaTeach** can make deals independent of each other. So no one needs to look for my confirmation anymore.  
Hope that helps.

I wouldn’t ordinarily agree so quickly to an amendment of the partnership charter, but it’s sort of pissing me off too. I’d like a final confirmation from **ArizonaTeach** even though she broached the idea in the first place, and then it’s a done deal, and I’ll amend your notice in the update to include that detail.

In the meantime, either **phi** can sign off on ‘Meeko Offer S14’, or when **Arizona** approves the bylaw her earlier confirmation will become binding on **phi/Teach**

(Yes, I know I’m making things seem more complicated than they could be.)

I’m sorry but I must regretfully decline even though we both have black wands (and aren’t afraid to use them…)

How about MHaye offer # 16 to Sinjin.

A look at rules 8 and 11 in exchange for a look at rule 16 and a platinum piece.

Only if you do it before I clue in to even notice the acceptance. 😃

And use bold red type, not more green type, if you have to try it again.
