Hey everybody. Sorry I was so absent today, work kept me busy, and I yet again forgot to take the database on my flash drive. Three and a half hours to go. Rules PM-ed, and as soon as I update for the latest bit of hearsay, I’ll post an update. Since **Meeko** ’s PM to **MHaye** yesterday was unauthorized, and contained some information that was not strictly rule-based, I have decided to release part of it under the Haggle freedom of information act, as follows: From: **Meeko** To: **MHaye, chrisk** Subject: Secondhand rule 4 – From S 41 (or whatever it was) * * * 1. * * * Oh, and MHaye, I am going to call a spade a spade here. Your Second Hand rule 7 was more than likely not how you got it. I’m not saying you are lying, but it doesn’t match chrisk’s syntax. I don’t have to worry about that, both 12 and 4 are how I got them. Perhaps 7 is something more like 1. * * * But. In any case, I really wanted 31 to go through. If we can still do my Ruby for your Wand, scroll 6 and 8 and the Plat, let me know. ---

MHaye, In spite of the Haggle Freedom of Information act, the deal has still survived. My ruby for your wand, scroll 6 and 8 is still doable. (I think its Offer S 43 now.) ---

Well I didn’t see anything in the starting post but then I don’t have a potion so it really doesn’t affect me. But while I was back there I used the rules i know except for the new knowledge about potions to calculate our starting value and for some reason I get Mhaye way ahead of the rest of us by like 25 points but he also hasn’t change he value. The winner of the best trades looks to be Sinjin who increased 43 points during the game with Meeko in second with 28 and me in third with 14.
