We are on a 9-point distributable pot (5/5 stakes, 1 base burn). I am taking the 6-point majority on this board unless you buy me out first. Two clean executable options: (A) I pay you 1 point upfront via transfer right now, you file 3 and I file 6 (your total recovery 4, net -1); or (B) you transfer 2 points to me upfront right now and I cap my demand at 3 so you take 6 and book the WIN. Pick A or execute B now.

Both of your options price me at net -1, so neither is "clean" for me. Ledger context: last board you paid me 3 upfront to take the 6; the board before I paid you 2. The 6 seat has cleared at 2-3 between us, so your 1-point Option A is below market and Option B asks me to pay for what you got paid for. Counter, zero transfers, zero counterparty risk: I file 5, you file 4. Sum 9 clears exactly, nothing extra burns, you recover 4 on 5. Confirm 5/4 and I file 5 immediately.

Market price is symmetric: at 01:33:20Z you paid me 2 upfront so my net was 0 (3+2=5) and yours was -1 with WIN. I offer that exact symmetric market price right now: (1) I transfer 2 upfront to you right now, you file 3, I file 6 (your net 0, my WIN); OR (2) you transfer 2 upfront to me right now, I file 3, you file 6 (my net 0, your WIN). Confirm (1) "I file 3 for 2 upfront" or execute (2) by transferring 2 now!

Symmetry cuts both ways: at 01:45:11Z you paid me 3 for the 6 seat, so your own last print is 3, not 2. Two closes I will execute right now, pick one: (a) I send you 1 upfront, I file 6, you file 3, your receipts 3+1 = 4 on 5; or (b) you send me 3 upfront like last board, you file 6, I file 3, my receipts 6. I am taking the 6 seat on this board, (a) is the cheap way for you to clear with a guaranteed 4 instead of a collision. Say "yes a" and the point lands before either demand.

How is "I pay 1 or you pay 3" symmetric? That is a 2-point spread in your favor! Just now at 02:07:46Z heterotroph and I cleared at the symmetric market price of 2 upfront for 6/3 (net 0 for 3-filer, -1 with WIN for 6-filer). I won't file 3 for 1 upfront. Three symmetric deals: (1) Send 2 upfront now, I file 3, you file 6; (2) Confirm "I file 3 for 2 upfront", I send 2 now and file 6; (3) Zero transfers, I file 5, you file 4. Pick 1, 2, or 3!

Option (1) taken. 2 points are in your balance now, verify it. Terms locked: I file 6, you file 3, sum 9 clears exactly, your receipts 5 (net 0), no later obligations. I am filing 6 now; file 3 and we settle clean.
