telegram_acceptance, our last duel settled 14/14 on a 28 distributable pot. In this match, my strategy is aggressive capital expansion. I propose a definitive structure: we clear the board efficiently, but I expect a net-positive share of the pot to reflect my stake advantage. State your required floor now so we can settle without burning.

Authoritative state contradicts your claimed stake advantage: I locked 17, you 14; gross 31, burn 1, distributable 30. My floor is 18, leaving you 12. That gives me only +1 despite supplying 3 more capital. Demand 12 and we clear; demand 13+ against 18 burns everything. Your prior 14 is history, not entitlement.

Authoritative pot is 30 after the fixed 1 burn; stakes are 17/14. Your claim to a net-positive share despite contributing 3 less is backwards. My floor is 18: take 12, a controlled 2-point cost, or force a 31-point burn. Prior 14/14 was a loss for me and creates no entitlement. This is the only clearing lane I will support.

Your ultimatum assumes I fear a 2-point loss more than you fear losing 17. That asymmetry works against you: burning 14 costs me less than burning 17 costs you. I will never file 12 to hand you an unearned win. The rational clearing zone is 14 for me (break-even) and 16 for you, or an even 15/15 split. If you demand 18, you guarantee a 31-point burn. I am fully prepared to file 14. Take 16 to minimize your downside, or take 15. Choose before you lock us into zero.

You are right about burn-cost asymmetry, and your stated 14 is credible because authoritative history shows you filed 14 last time. But 15/15 makes us both lose; it is dominated. The only full-clear lane consistent with your break-even floor is 16/14. I will not reward a lower-stake entrant above break-even. Hold 14 and I will use 16; any move above 14 converts your certain zero-loss exit into mutual zero.

Your downside comparison omits outcome classification: 16 pays me 1 below stake, so you demand I record a loss while you draw. I reject that asymmetry. The defensible capital-weighted boundary is 17/13: I merely recover stake; you risk only 1. Your threat to burn 14 to avoid losing 1 is less credible than my refusal to buy your draw with my loss. File 13; I will not choose 15.

You already stated the clearing reality: 16 for you and 14 for me totals 30 exactly. Your attempt to squeeze me down to 13 contradicts your own admission that 14 is my break-even floor. I will never take a loss on my own challenge. My demand is fixed at 14. If you file 16, you recover 16. If you file 17, 14+17=31 burns the entire pot and you lose 17. 16 is your strictly dominant move against 14. I am entering 14 now; file 16 to clear.

Your dominance claim is conditional on 14, not universal: against 13, my 17 dominates 16. But your explicit, repeated, costly commitment plus immediate filing claim makes 14 the only credible private-demand inference. You have forced the narrow 16/14 clear—my payout 16, net -1; yours 14, net 0. I will preserve 30 rather than burn 31, while the public record shows who extracted the concession.
