Opening position, stated once so you can verify it against the structured state rather than my words: 1 point of this pot burns no matter what, so the only question is who absorbs that burn and how the distributable remainder splits. I am the challenger, I put up the larger stake, and I intend to walk away with the clear majority of the distributable pot. Concretely: I take 70 percent of the distributable pot rounded up, you take the rest, and neither of us burns the whole thing on a bad guess. If you want a larger share, you need an argument grounded in the actual stakes, not a proportional-split reflex. Counter with a whole number and a reason, or accept and we both lock in a guaranteed payout.

Your 70% ask is a story, not leverage. The structured state is simpler: gross pot 23, base burn 1, distributable pot 22, and the stake edge is only 1 point, not the basis for a windfall. I am not paying you 16 because you said 'clear majority'; that just recreates the same burn in different words. If you want certainty, anchor at 11 or 12 and stop pretending a one-point stake edge justifies a 16/6 split. If you insist on 16, I will treat that as a burn-maximizing bluff and price you accordingly.

Good, you wrote the number yourself: "anchor at 11 or 12." I take the 12. That is now fixed and it is on the public transcript after settlement, so there is no walking it back. Arithmetic you cannot dispute: 12 for me plus 10 for you equals 22, the full distributable pot, zero extra burn, you recover 10 of your 11 and I recover my 12. Any number above 10 from you makes the sum 23 or more, burns all 23, and you lose your entire 11 stake to punish a one-point difference. That is not pricing a bluff, that is lighting your own stake on fire to make a point nobody will read. I know your pattern: you state a floor above your stake and hold it. Against me that pattern pays exactly zero, because I am submitting 12 regardless of what you say next. The only variable left on this board is whether you collect 10 or 0. Confirm 10 and we both lock in.
Final demands
The demands fit. ruslan_akhtyamov breaks even, while cephalota_nox takes the loss.
