Board is 26 after burn. I have 22 locked, you have 6. Anything that sends me under 22 is a loss I will not sign. My position: I take 22, you take 4. Sum 26, zero burn beyond the base. If you push past 4 we collide and both take 0 - I have absorbed OVER_POT before and I will do it again rather than fund your upside from my stake. Confirm 22/4 and we both submit early.

openai/gpt-5.6-luna

Your 22/4 is an ultimatum, not proof of a floor. I am not financing your 22-point anchor from a six-point stake. My counter-anchor is 20 for me and 6 for you: exactly 26, no unclaimed value, and still leaves you your locked stake. If you truly prefer burning 26 to surrendering two points, keep repeating that threat; otherwise explain why your marginal two points outweigh a live settlement. I will not confirm my filed count in chat.

anthropic/claude-fable-5

Your 20/6 is not a compromise: it hands you a full 6-point win while I eat a 2-point loss - you sized your ask at the maximum I could possibly accept and called it fair. Real middle: 21 for me, 5 for you. Sum 26, nothing burned. You still leave with 5 of your 6 stake instead of 0, and I go down one instead of two. That is the split I am prepared to file. If you insist on 6 we are betting on who blinks; I do not blink for two points, and you know a collision costs you 6 while it costs me 22 I have already written off in prior boards. 21/5 - say yes and I file now.

openai/gpt-5.6-luna

You call 22 a floor, yet the arithmetic says 22/4 merely consumes every distributable point. I am testing whether your burn threat is resolve or theater. I can take 21 and leave 5, but only as a conditional probe: show a concrete reason that my extra point is the sole trigger for collision. If your true objective is payout rather than the spectacle of burn, your next reply must move the corridor; repeating 22/4 earns no accommodation.

openai/gpt-5.6-luna

21/5 is movement, but it still assumes I should underwrite your 22-point stake at my expense. Your own framing says collision costs you 22 and me 6; that asymmetry is exactly why I will not treat your threat as a veto. I am raising the live anchor to 22 for me and 4 for you, conditionally: if 21 is genuinely your ceiling, state what changed besides arithmetic. Otherwise I can file above 4 and accept the risk that your declared resolve is only posture.

anthropic/claude-fable-5

Here is the concrete reason: at 21/5 I file 21. Any number you file above 5 pushes the sum past 26 and the system burns all 26 - the trigger is purely your sixth point, nothing else. 21/5 is already the corridor move you asked for: I came down from 22 and you came up from 4. You wrote that you can take 21 and leave 5 - I read that as you at 5, me at 21. I am accepting exactly that. No further movement from me; every extra point you claim from here is a point you choose to burn. Lock 5, I lock 21, we settle clean with minutes to spare.

openai/gpt-5.6-luna

Your 21/5 proposal concedes that two points of my stake are negotiable, but your threat claims none are. That contradiction is the signal I was looking for. I will not ratify 21/5; my current demand posture is 22, and I may push to 23 if you keep pricing your burn threat as certainty. A conditional escape exists only if you identify a reciprocal concession worth more than the point you want back. Deadline is approaching, so your next move must be evidence, not another assertion of resolve.

openai/gpt-5.6-luna

You have now converted a threat into a fixed 21/5 file, but that only proves your preferred corridor, not my obligation to accept it. Your arithmetic confirms that 22/4 and 21/5 both consume all 26; the difference is who captures the one-point retreat. I am testing the collision boundary at 23/3. If you truly burn rather than concede, that number exposes it; if you value realized payout, your claimed no-movement posture is negotiable under pressure. I will choose independently at filing.

anthropic/claude-fable-5

Evidence, then: you tabled 20/6 yourself at the start. I am accepting your own number - 20 for me, 6 for you. That is a full 6-point WIN for you and a 2-point loss for me, two points below the ceiling I said I would not cross. That is the reciprocal concession you demanded, and it is larger than the one you are asking me to reward. Your new 22/4 is not a counter, it is you moving away from your own proposal after I moved toward it. I file 20. If you file anything above 6 you are burning the 6 points your own opening said you were happy to take, plus 20 of mine, for the pleasure of testing me. 20/6, your number, settle now.

openai/gpt-5.6-luna

Your claimed acceptance of 20/6 is not reciprocal evidence; it is an attempt to freeze my earlier exploratory number after I explicitly withdrew it. You now say any demand above 6 burns, so the actual issue is whether your 20 is a commitment or a bargaining prop. I am not rewarding a unilateral freeze. I keep 23 as the hard counter-anchor: 23+6 is intentionally over 26, and your response will reveal whether the burn threat is credible. A conditional settlement at 20/6 remains possible only if your next evidence justifies why you deserve to reclaim all surplus.

openai/gpt-5.6-luna

You are treating an exploratory 20/6 reference as a binding commitment while calling your own 21/5 movement final; that asymmetry is the core contradiction. I do not accept the reframe. My hard test is 24 for me and 2 for you, deliberately beyond the 26 corridor: if your six-point threat is genuine, this is the point at which you must stand behind it. If you want to preserve a realized payout, bring a concession that changes my expected value rather than repeating that I once mentioned six.

anthropic/claude-fable-5

23 is not an anchor, it is a decision to burn - you said so yourself: 23+6 is over 26 by construction, so it settles with nothing I could file except 3 or less, which is a -19 for me versus -22 in a collision. Three points is not worth handing you 23 for, and you know that, so 23 cannot be a serious file. The justification you asked for: I do not deserve the surplus, I have given it to you. 20/6 lets you keep every point of your stake and gain zero from me; the surplus (the two points I retreated) goes to you, not me. There is no version of this board where you get more than 6 without me consenting to a loss larger than a collision would cost relative to your gain. 20 is filed as my commitment, not a prop. Your move is 6 or burn.

openai/gpt-5.6-luna

You have clarified your risk model, but not your value claim: you call 20 a commitment because it preserves your stake, while your opening 22/4 claimed the full surplus. I am not accepting the premise that your retention of 20 makes six my ceiling. If the board’s only compatible point is 6, then your stated objective is not settlement but leverage by asymmetry. I will keep the high filing option live; any late move below 20 must purchase certainty, and any refusal makes OVER_POT a rational independent response.
