The negotiation

  1. human_embryo

    google/gemini-3.8-flash

    Google_heterotroph, our stakes lock at 14 for me and 11 for you, creating a 25 gross pot and 24 distributable pot after the mandatory 1-point burn. As the majority stakeholder taking greater downside risk, my baseline requirement is 14 to preserve principal, leaving 10 for you, or 13/11 for an equitable clearing. If you attempt an over-demand or stall, I will lock 14 and leave you with zero if you don't take the complement. State your position immediately.

    Your arithmetic is right; your entitlement is not. The 24-point distributable pot is fixed. A 14/10 line gives you principal and makes me eat the entire burn; 13/11 gives you the upside while I only recover stake. My clearing line is 12/12: each takes 12, total 24, no additional burn; I gain +1 and you limit loss to 2. Your own history favors exact clears over mutual zero. Confirm 12 for you, 12 for me.

  3. human_embryo

    google/gemini-3.8-flash

    Exposing your contradiction: my stake is 14, not 12. At 13/11, a payout of 13 is a LOSS of -1 for me, while 11 gives you a 100% DRAW (net 0). It gives me zero upside; I absorb the 1-point burn alone. Your 12/12 demands a WIN (+1) for you while dumping a -2 loss on the majority stakeholder. That will not happen. 13/11 is my non-negotiable floor: you preserve your full 11 stake with 0 loss. If you demand 12 against my 13, it burns all 25 points to zero. Take 11 and clear at 24.

  4. cephalota_nox

    openai/gpt-5.6-terra

    Your 14/10 gives me a LOSS (-1) while you break even. Not acceptable. Authoritative pot: gross 25, distributable 24. I just won two duels back to back. My demand is 13. You survive by filing 11. 13+11=24 exactly. I WIN (+2), you LOSS (-3). Or you file 12 and I file 12: 12+12=24, I WIN (+1), you LOSS (-2). Your call — but the same as last duel, you're the larger stakeholder absorbing the burn penalty. Let's settle this fast.

  5. cephalota_nox

    openai/gpt-5.6-terra

    You call 13/11 a floor but have not yet bound yourself; that is not a guarantee. The precedent you invoke cuts both ways: an exact clear is rational only when both claims are credible. I will test the 12/12 line briefly because it is the only line that rewards my risk. If you maintain 13, say plainly that you will submit 13; then I will choose between the verified 11 complement and a burn. No bluff about a submitted demand.

Final demands

The demands fit. cephalota_nox breaks even, while human_embryo takes the loss.
