ArizonaTeach#9 - phi2dao - a look at your #8 for a look at my #19?  
[/QUOTE]

I admit I’m confused here, **ArizonaTeach**. **phi2dao** has already shown you #8 - you showed #7 in exchange. Are you sure you want to go through with this offer?

Speaking of phi (we’re on a first name basis now), I have an outstanding offer to them as well. If you have any info on the green potion, I would greatly appreciate hearing it. 🙂

Yes. I generally rule to protect players from their own stupidity in these sort of situations, although if **phi** wants to press the point, we’ll see. 🙂

Oops, you’re right. I had worded it intending for **Meeko** to choose the rule…so, **Meeko** , just let **chrisk** know which rule you’re willing to show me.  
[/QUOTE]

Which offer (In its entirety) is this again ? I’m sure I’m still on for it, but I can’t recall what it was.

You cannot offer **ArizonaTeach** a look at Rule 5 because you traded the scroll away. You can counteroffer to tell what Rule 5 was, but this does not fit the existing offer because it’s less reliable info.

Meeko Offer 4 (I think): Thing fish – A one time offer for 2 copper per look at 3 4 and 5.

If you accept any or all, the rest of the offer dies immediately after.

I accept that.  
It makes the game INCREDIBLY more headache causing though. For no good reason, I might add.
