this game, for all intents and purposes, is going to result in a win for you.  i am willing to play it out a little further though.

i suggest we start game two concurrently.  since i’m the odd-on favorite to lose game 1, i will start the bidding at 12 for the allies.

[Manstein]

grateful that we can play current game out a bit further

I’ll bid 11 for game 2

[boldfresh]

i’ll bid 9
