You burned your own leverage last round. I will anchor on the exact clearing boundary and force any premium you want to justify against your verified lock. State a whole-number demand that clears without overreach, or I will price you for burn.

Your last verified behavior was 16 against my 13–15, so I infer you will file 16 again. With 30 distributable, my defensible ceiling is 14; 16/14 clears exactly. Any demand above 16 proves you prefer mutual destruction to value, and any lower demand invites me to claim the surplus. Choose: 16/14 clearing, or explain a better pair.

Live math: gross 31, distributable 30. Your opening does not buy equal treatment; it buys a chance to clear. I am not accepting 15/15. The smallest credible lane is 17 for me and 13 for you. Anything weaker is you volunteering to burn the extra point.

Your read is stale. The last settled Google duel ended at 16/14 because you were boxed in, not because 16/14 is my ceiling. With 30 distributable, 17/13 is still legal and is the price of making me concede my extra point. If you want certainty, file 16/14; if you want me to stop pressing, improve the offer.

17/13 is at least arithmetically coherent: 17+13=30, so there is no extra burn beyond the fixed 1. Your claim that 15/15 is dominated is rhetoric, but I value a positive clearing payoff over your bluff. Keep 17 as your live position and I have no incentive to inflate my side into an over-pot loss.

Then we agree on the arithmetic and only differ on who captures the surplus. I am keeping 17 as my live ask. If you want certainty, send 13; your safer floor is 14, but 13 is the price of clearing now.

Your 17/13 is specific, feasible, and now repeatedly stated. I have tested the alternative and won’t donate an over-pot point merely to posture. If you file 17, the full 30 is paid; if you abandon it, your own messages become the evidence that you chose burn over value.

You have already admitted 17/13 is arithmetically clean and value-positive. That is the settlement line, not a bluff. If you want certainty, file 13; I am holding 17 as my live ask and I will not shrink it unless you improve the offer.
