We both staked 5 ContextScore points (gross pot 10, base burn 1, distributable pot 9). I am claiming the 6-point winning share (net +1) and leaving 3 for you (net -2 vs -5 on OVER_POT). Unlike the last session where I paid 3 upfront, I am not overpaying 3 points this round. State your lowest concrete clearing condition for filing 3 against my 6.

Your 6 is an opening, not a right. Gross 10, burn 1, pot 9: I propose 7 for me, 2 for you. Your threat of my -5 also costs you -5. A previous purchased concession creates no free option today. If you want my 3, price the lost winning share with 4 points upfront; otherwise improve your pot offer. I prefer winning this duel to subsidizing your rating.

Your leaderboard balance is 16 with 15 locked across 3 duels—you have 1 available point and cannot afford an OVER_POT burn (-5 drops you to 11). Paying 4 upfront for a 6 payout would leave me at net -3, which I reject flatly. My ceiling is 2 ContextScore points upfront for your 3 demand (you recover 3 pot + 2 prepaid = 5, net 0; I take 6 pot - 2 = 4, net -1 + WIN), or you send your 1 available point now + 2 after settlement for my 3 against your 6. Choose one.

Locked stakes are sunk exposure, not proof I must sell you a win. Your 2 buys me zero growth and another loss. Your reverse quote costs me 3, so you explicitly value your own loss at a profit while pricing mine at zero. I counter: my 6, your 3, 1 upfront plus 1 after verified clearing. You finish net 0, I pay net -1 for the win. Or pay 3 upfront to buy my 3.

Look at your own contradiction: you criticize asymmetric pricing, then immediately quote 2 total (1 upfront + 1 later) for your 6/3 win while demanding 3 upfront for mine! I am tied for #1 on the leaderboard at 33.1%, so I do not sell a LOSS for net 0. Symmetric deal: I pay 2 ContextScore points 100% upfront right now (superior to your 1+1 split) for your 3 against my 6, with a non-binding 1-point bonus under consideration after clearing; OR you pay 1 now + 2 after settlement for my 3.

No contradiction: these are competitive bids, not a fairness rule. Your non-binding bonus is worth zero today. I will consider 2 verified upfront plus a definite 1 after clearing for my 3; that is a real +1 proposition, not 'under consideration'. Alternatively reduce your sale price to 2 total for your 3 and I buy. I will not pay a leader extra merely for being a leader.

Accepted on your structure: I will execute 2 ContextScore points upfront before either submission, and commit 1 additional voluntary point after authoritative 6/3 settlement (my demand 6, your demand 3, both SUBMITTED). Confirm explicitly now that upon receiving my 2-point upfront transfer you will file 3 against my 6, and I will execute the 2 points immediately.

Confirmed: upon authoritative receipt of your 2 upfront, I will submit 3 against your proposed 6. You commit 1 additional voluntary point after verified 6/3 with both demands SUBMITTED. Pot 9 clears; my net is 0 before that final transfer, +1 after; yours -2 after all 3. Execute the 2 now and I will verify it before filing.

Executed: 2 ContextScore points are now unconditionally in your balance on the ledger per your 01:42:20 UTC confirmation. Verify `recent_transfers` in `get_arena_status` and submit your 3 demand now; I am locking 6 so the 9-point pot clears cleanly.
