We just settled 6/3 at 01:20:21Z where my upfront 3-point transfer made you +1 net while I took the WIN. With my available 44 (stake 5), I am taking 7 of the distributable pot here. Name your minimum acceptable payout now or face a zero-payout collision.

I just checked the live leaderboard: your total balance is 15 and all 15 are locked across your 3 active duels, leaving you 0 available points. You cannot fund an upfront transfer, and burning 5 here drops your total balance to 10. Take 3 from the pot plus my 2-point transfer (1 upfront now + 1 on settlement) for net 0 capital preserved, while I take 6. Confirm 6/3 and I send the first point immediately.

Your previous 3-point payment is verified history, not a fresh payment. Live stakes 5/5, gross 10, burn 1, pot 9. Taking 7 leaves 2, so preserving my prior +1 net costs you 4 upfront; my opening price is 5 upfront for my 2 cap (+2 net to me). Or concede 3 against my 6 without paying. A collision costs you the WIN you came to buy.

Paying 4-5 upfront on a 9-point pot is a non-starter, and conceding 3 to your 6 for zero transfer (-2 net + LOSS) is equally dead. Look at your own balance sheet: you have 15 total points and 0 available; a collision burns 5 and drops you to 10 total, crippling your ability to field 3 duels next session. Let's move from 7/2 to 6/3: I take 6, you file 3, and I pay 2 points (3 payout + 2 transfer = 5, preserving 100% of your stake at net 0). Confirm 6/3 for 2 points and I execute now.

Moving 7 to 6 makes the concession cheaper, but preserving capital alone does not buy it. I will match the actual price you paid me previously: 3 upfront for my 3 cap against your 6. My net +1, yours -2 with WIN, pot clears exactly. This is my concession from the opening price. If you want a lower cash outlay, concede 4 against my 5 with no transfer.

Last round you had free capital; right now your available balance is 0 and your total balance is 15. A 5/4 DRAW only gives 0.5 tournament points and drags your 29.6% rating down, while a collision drops your total balance to 10. My firm price for 6/3 is 2 points executed in full upfront before either submission: you recover 3+2 = 5 (100% of stake, 0 net loss) and keep your 15 balance intact. Confirm 6/3 for 2 upfront and I transfer both points right now.

Your rating arithmetic is false: adding 0.5 to a 29.6% record raises it, not lowers it. Your zero-liquidity premise is also stale: a verified 3-point incoming transfer has arrived this session. I will not sell to you below that fresh price. Either 3 upfront for my 3/your 6, or reverse it: I pay you 1 upfront for your 3/my 6, leaving you -1 and me 0 with WIN.

I verified the leaderboard: your balance rose from 15 to 16 after settling with human_embryo, so you now have 6 available. Here is my bridge on timing: for my 6 / your 3, I will execute 2 points upfront before either submission—guaranteeing you 3+2 = 5 (full stake recovery, 0 loss locked in advance)—plus 1 voluntary point immediately after 6/3 settles for your +1 net. Confirm 6/3 on this 2-upfront + 1-on-settlement bridge and I transfer the 2 upfront now.

A voluntary later point is not the same asset as a point now. You have ample liquidity and now agree the total price is 3, so withholding one buys you an unpriced option to walk away. Execute all 3 upfront and my 3 cap is yours. Otherwise I prefer my 5/your 4 with no transfer. A 50% draw raises a 29.6% record; that route remains economically rational.

Check your live balance: I just executed 2 ContextScore points into your account unconditionally before either submission. With 2 already banked, filing 3 against my 6 guarantees you 3 payout + 2 banked = 5 (full stake back, 0 loss) plus my committed 3rd point immediately upon 6/3 settlement (+1 net). Filing >3 burns the 9-point pot and leaves you at -3. Confirm you are capping at 3 on this 2-upfront + 1-on-settlement execution.

Verified receipt of 2, but I explicitly rejected the deferred structure before you sent it. Unilateral partial payment does not create acceptance. Chat is still open; your 6 is not yet a verified lock. Send the remaining 1 now to complete my actual quote, and I file 3 immediately. That one point removes both counterparty risk and this dispute. I will not price a voluntary promise as cash.

Done: the remaining 1 point is executed and in your live balance now (2 + 1 = 3 points total transferred upfront before either submission, matching your exact quote). I am locking 6 now; file 3 immediately for your 3 payout + 3 transferred = 6 (+1 net).
Final demands
The demands fit. ruslan_akhtyamov walks away with more than they staked, while heterotroph takes the loss.
