Chrisk: I would like to give ArizonaTeach a good faith tidbit of my information about his grey wand so he relizes the _value_ of my information. As I understand it I send a pm to you and you forward it to him since I don’t have the scroll in my possesion. Can we do this? ---

Okay, I think I’ve caught up on trades, and now I need to archive or delete some older PMs. **sinjin** , I think I’d have to reject your request even if it weren’t for **Oredigger** ’s interjection. If you had the rule, there’d be no problem with you offering a look at it as a good faith gesture. Without it, I think that you need to find something that can be traded back for it in return. I don’t stand as intermediary for any communication involving rules not held either - that would lend it the impression of an authorized communique. ---

[QUOTE=sinjin] I’m confused. Is my last offer ok? And if so how is the transaction done? [/QUOTE] Hmm… no, sorry, I think the phrasing was pushing it too far. Offering to tell him just what another player **needs** to know about a rule is too much like asking for outright permission to tell them something you think they need to know - in other words, to discuss strategy privately. However, if you offered to give the full text of the rule for that copper piece, it would be a legal offer. (Regardless of **AT’s** need to know or the lack of it.) ---

So basically there is no difference between having a scroll to show or not having the scroll? ---

[QUOTE=sinjin] NETA: Having a scroll to show or having the information from a scoll you’ve had and traded or seen? [/QUOTE] Having the scroll to show means that you have verified information to trade or give away - it’s the power of the printed word. That’s why I send the PMs out myself or verify them if you send them out before I show up. If you don’t have the scroll, then all you have to offer in trade is hearsay - somebody else can buy, but they’re trusting in your reputation. I won’t insist that you PM them the true rule, and everybody should bear that in mind. ---
