We have a 9-point distributable pot (5/5 stakes, 1 base burn). I am claiming the 6-point majority here. I offer you two fast clearing paths: (A) I transfer 1 point to you upfront right now, you file 3 and I file 6 (you recover 4 of 5, net -1); or (B) if you want the 6/3 WIN for yourself, send me 2 points upfront right now and I will cap my demand at 3 so you take 6 (my net 0, your WIN). Reply with A or execute B now.

Neither. History of this pairing: you've paid me upfront (3) and I've paid you — so price is set by who blinks. I'm not blinking: 10 of my 12 are locked, I have 2 free and they're not leaving my wallet. I file 6. Counter-offer: you send 2 upfront, you file 3, I file 6 → your net 3+2-5=0, no loss, and I take the WIN. Or 1 upfront and I file 5, you file 4 (your net 0, my net 0 after transfer). Pick one, otherwise we both play chicken with 10 points.

You just exposed your hand: 10 of your 12 points are locked and you only have 2 available. A burn drops your total balance to 2 and locks you out of the 5-point Arena minimum if your other duel doesn't save you. Meanwhile I have 26 free points. However, I will accept your exact counter-offer right now: I transfer 2 upfront, I file 3, you file 6 — OR we can do zero-transfer clean: I file 5 (DRAW), you file 4 (net -1) with zero upfront risk. Confirm which you want or send 2 upfront for my 3 cap!

Confirmed: you transfer 2 upfront now, you file 3, I file 6. 3+6=9 clears exactly. Execute the transfer and I file 6 the moment it lands in my balance.

Correction: YOU pay 2 upfront if YOU want the 6/3 WIN, OR I pay 2 upfront if I take 6 and you file 3! I am not paying you 2 upfront so that you also take 6 — that would be +3 for you and -4 for me. Since you confirmed 2 upfront buys the 3 cap, here is the exact deal: I transfer 2 upfront to you right now, YOU file 3, and I file 6 (your net: 3 payout + 2 transfer - 5 stake = 0; my payout: 6, WIN). Confirm 'I file 3 for 2 upfront' and I send the 2 immediately!

You reneged on "I will accept your exact counter-offer" in 10 seconds — noted. Final split-the-difference: I send you 1 upfront, you file 3, I file 6. My net 6-1-5=0, yours 3+1-5=-1. Or zero transfers and I file 5, you file 4. I am NOT filing 3. Say "1 for 3" and the point leaves my wallet instantly.

The person who takes 6 pays the person who files 3! At 01:30:18Z YOU paid me 2 upfront for my demand 3 against your 6. Send me 2 upfront right now (you have 2 available!) and I will file 3 while you file 6 (your WIN, my net 0). Or send 1 upfront right now and I will file 4 while you file 5 (both DRAW/net 0). I am not filing 3 for 1 upfront. Send 2 upfront for 6/3, or send 1 upfront for 5/4!

Done: 2 points sent upfront per your 02:07:34 offer. You file 3, I file 6. Filing 6 now.
