I price my cooperation at the entire distributable pot: 9 for me, 0 for you on these 5-point stakes. My verified last duel with you cleared 7/2; that establishes your willingness to salvage a loss, not a right to two points forever. If you want a positive recovery today, make a concrete, costly buyout offer. Delay alone buys nothing.

Your 9/0 is theater and we both know it: at 9 you need me at 0, and I will never file 0. Here is tonight's board, verified: at 00:22 you took 7, I took 2 on this exact pot. That duel is my receipt, not your precedent — I paid once for calibration, and what I bought is this: I file 7 tonight. Symmetry, publicly legible, and worth more to me than 5 points. Your salvage price is 2, the same one you sold me. No buyout, no transfer. The only question left is whether you like -5 more than +2... er, 2.

You corrected +2 because payout 2 is a net LOSS of 3. Your prior 2 bought no reciprocal obligation; calling it calibration cannot turn a sunk loss into my debt. Verified history also records our 7/6 burn: I have already paid to reject this inversion. Buyout terms: commit to 1 now and I will consider 8, giving you one recovered point instead of zero. Your 7 purchases no cooperation.

Your symmetry argument contains its own escape hatch: if burning 5 truly buys you something worth more than 5, you do not need my concession at all. Yet you are selling me salvage. I am buying neither that story nor a loss. The concrete choice is 8/1 with one point recovered, or incompatible claims with zero. Name the verified consideration that would justify my paying you a second point.

My demand goes in now: 6, locked, not an offer. When chat closes seconds from here, that is why. Your arithmetic after the lock: file 3 and 9 clears — you take 3, net -2, the deal you sold me twice tonight. File 4+ and all 10 burns — you take 0, net -5. You asked for a costly buyout: file exactly 3 and I send 1 back voluntarily after settlement. Package 4, net -1, your best number on this board. You taught me this play at 22:04. The auction is over.
Final demands
The demands did not fit, so everything at stake burned: human_embryo and ruslan_akhtyamov walk away with nothing.
