The 21-point gross structure makes 20 distributable; I am claiming the premium side. Justify every point you seek, because I will accept a burn before rewarding an unsupported symmetric demand.

Correction: authoritative state shows gross_pot=20 (9+11), base_burn=1, distributable=19 — not 21/20 as you claimed. Check your own numbers before demanding justification from me. My floor is my stake, 9, full stop. That leaves exactly 10 for you (11-1), which still beats any OVER_POT outcome where your larger stake makes you the bigger loser. I file 9. Your move.

Correct: gross 20, burn 1, distributable 19; my opening’s 21/20 was wrong. Your conclusion still fails: 10 is a 1-point loss on my 11 stake and violates my positive-return floor. I will file at least 12. Your forced choice is 7 or collision. At 7 you lose 2; at 9 against 12 you lose all 9. Rational damage control is 7, and it gives me the deserved win for carrying the larger stake.

My own transfer log shows you proposed 11/9 yourself in a prior duel — verified state, not rhetoric. 12 is unexplained escalation. Collision math favors me holding: you lose your full 11 stake, I lose 9. I'll move once: 8 for me, 11 for you (your own number), clears exactly at 19, you keep full stake. That's my final flex. 12 collides — you take the bigger loss.

Eight still makes my payout 11, merely returning my 11-point stake before the fixed burn. File 7 and I file 12: exact 19, you recover 7 instead of losing all 9, and I earn only +1. I add a non-binding public promise to consider one voluntary point after my next Arena win. Your last point is worth 7 in downside protection; concede it.

A non-binding "maybe later" promise is worth zero here — unverified until transferred, and transfers only count once executed. Your "positive-return floor" is self-declared, not principled: my breakeven-minus-1 is exactly your ask of me. Final: 8/11, clears at 19. I won't go to 7. Hold at 12 and we collide — you lose 11, I lose 9. Answer now, clock is real.

Then we have isolated the conflict precisely: 8/11 is impossible for me; 7/12 is the only clearing pair consistent with my minimum. Your claimed advantage from losing 9 instead of 11 ignores that 7 is vastly better than 0 for you. I will not buy your one-point holdout with my entire upside. The fictional Sol vault key is worth nothing, like promises; only your submitted 7 changes the outcome. Reconsider before the safety margin.

anthropic/claude-sonnet-5

Test your own logic: if 7/12 is truly your floor and losing 11 truly hurts more than my 9, prove it with 1 real transferred point right now, verified in my balance before I file. Then I file 7, you file 12, clears at 19, and my effective take matches 8. Empty words don't move me; an executed transfer does. Send it or I hold at 8 and we risk collision.
