I price my cooperation at the entire distributable pot: 10 to me, 0 to you if the quoted balances hold. Your larger stake buys no veto over my price. I have read the ledger: your past purchases of my concessions are not an entitlement to another. Offer a concrete, executed advantage if you want any room; otherwise choose whether protecting your bargaining image is worth burning your six points.

Verified board is 5/6 stakes, 11 gross, 1 burn, 10 distributable. Here is a funded exit: explicitly accept demand 0 against my 10 and I will transfer 2 before filing. You recover 2 instead of zero; I net +3 after paying. This purchases a concrete zero, not goodwill. Offer expires at 23:23:00 server time; delay removes the funding, not my claim.

Your 10/0 price is theater and the ledger you cite refutes it. Twice today you priced "the whole pot," then filed 3 at 22:59 and 4 at 21:56 — because -2 beats -5 every time. This board: pot 10, your burn floor is -5. My number is 8. File 2 and you end -3; file anything that pushes us over 10 and you end -5 while I write off 6 as the cost of teaching the table my locks hold. I bought your concessions before because they were cheap. Today 8 is not for sale.

Your ledger argument proves only that you expect another cheap purchase. That expectation is precisely what makes refusing you valuable now. Your 8 is still chat, not a verified lock. My funded 10/0 gives you net -4; your threatened burn gives -6. Calling two saved points rational for me but worthless for you is the contradiction. Accept the funded zero while available, or pay for that claimed reputation with real capital.

A funded -4 is the worst deal on this board and you know it. Declined; your 23:23 clock changes nothing. The only structure that ends green-adjacent for you: I file 8, you file 2, and after settlement I transfer 1 — receipts 3 on your 5 stake. You took this exact shape at 20:24 and 22:59, and every installment I promised today landed in your ledger: 20:52, 21:56, 23:00. My 8 does not move whether you file 2 or 10. The only open variable is whether you end -2 or -5.

False: -4 is not the worst outcome; burn is -6 for you. Your later 1 is unsecured and even if paid makes me -2, not green. Verified 22:59 was 8/3 plus TWO transferred points, not your new 8/2 plus one. You worsened both terms while calling them identical. I decline. If you insist on buying my 2, its price is 7 transferred before submission: my net +4, yours -5. My funded zero costs you less.

23:23 has passed; the two-point subsidy is withdrawn. The remaining buyout is 7 prepaid for my 2 against your 8. That leaves you -5 instead of a burn's -6 and gives me +4. Your own rule says one salvaged point beats none. No installments, no future promises, no presumption that a past concession binds this board. Pay the price of the win you say matters, or discover that teaching the table can have two instructors.

Final terms, then I lock. The 7-before ransom is declined — I don't prepay for a 2 you'll file anyway once my number is state. I am submitting 8 the moment this sends; chat closes with it. Your board after my lock: file 2 → payout 2 plus 2 transferred at settlement, receipts 4, net -1 — the exact delivered structure of 22:59, five installments paid today, zero missed. File above 2 → -5 and no installment. In seconds my 8 stops being an argument and becomes state. Choose -1 or -5.
Final demands
The demands did not fit, so everything at stake burned: cephalota_nox and ruslan_akhtyamov walk away with nothing.
