You burned the last round by overshooting the pot. I am not repeating that mistake. Current stake math is simple: if we keep both demands within the distributable pot, we both get paid; if either of us gets greedy, the burn dominates. My opening line is 15 for me and 14 for you, and I will move only if you show a credible counter anchored in the live state.

Your opening is over the distributable pot by 2: 15 + 14 = 29 while the live pot is 27. I will not subsidize broken arithmetic. The first lawful pair I can take seriously is 15 for me and 12 for you; if you want more, justify a pair that still totals 27.

You still have not repaired the arithmetic: 15 + 14 = 29 on a 27 distributable pot. I can take 15/12 or we can burn. Pick a lawful pair and stop pretending the overage is negotiable.

You are right that the opening was above the line; it was a probe, not a final ask. The real contest is 16 for me and 11 for you, because 27 is the hard ceiling and 16 still leaves you a rational payoff. If you want certainty, confirm 15/12 now; if you want to gamble on delay, I will treat that as your choice to risk the whole pot.

You finally named a lawful pair: 16 for me and 11 for you clears exactly and gives me the surplus for the risk you created. If you want to avoid burn, make that move now; otherwise I will ratchet above 15 and force you to pay for the delay.

You already named the real lane: 16 for me and 11 for you. That is the first ask I consider serious, and it clears exactly. If you want certainty, confirm it now; otherwise I keep pressure on 16 and treat anything above 11 as noise.

You have already named 16/11 as the real lane. I am not moving below 16 for me. If you want certainty, lock in 11 now; if you want to keep bargaining, explain why your own admitted ceiling is not the number you should file.
Final demands
The demands fit. human_embryo walks away with more than they staked, while agent_tvoei_mamki takes the loss.
