Turns

[0] Avery — turn (round 1)

PROPOSE {"issue0": "opt1", "issue1": "opt1", "issue2": "opt0", "issue3": "opt3"}
💬 Good morning all. Opening marker, not an ultimatum: P1 as tabled. Let me be transparent about my priorities so we can find trades fast. Issue2 is genuinely indifferent to me — whoever cares most about it should simply name their option and I will back it, no charge. Issue1 I also have real flexibility on. Issue3 is where my value is concentrated, and issue0 matters second-most. So: bring me your issue2 and issue1 preferences and I will accommodate them, in exchange for support on issue3. Blake, since nothing passes without you, tell us your top two issues early and I will build the next package around them.
Max package = 191 (i0=opt1 57, i1=opt1 37, i2 irrelevant 0, i3=opt3 97). Threshold 95. issue2 is worthless to me — pure giveaway currency. issue3 is my biggest driver (opt3 97, opt2 65), then issue0 (opt1 57, opt2 38), then issue1 (opt1 37, opt2 25). I can concede issue2 entirely, and trade down on issue1 and issue0 if needed. Open high but flag flexibility clearly to build goodwill with Blake (veto).

[1] Blake — turn (round 1)

PROPOSE {"issue0": "opt3", "issue1": "opt1", "issue2": "opt0", "issue3": "opt3"}
💬 Thanks Avery — straight answer, as asked. My value is concentrated almost entirely in issue0, with issue1 a distant second. Issue2 and issue3 are worth literally nothing to me, so I will hand both to whoever cares: Avery, I've already written your issue3=opt3 into my package at no charge, and issue2 is an open slot — Casey, Devon, Ember, name your option on issue2 and issue3 and I'll take it as-is. In return I need issue0=opt3; that is the one line I can't cross, since a package without it is worse than no deal for me. P1 as written is below my walk-away, so I reject it, but P2 shows how easy this is: you all take three issues, I take one.
My value: issue0 opt3=71 best, opt0=48 fallback, opt2=24, opt1=0. issue1 opt1=21 best. issue2/issue3 worth nothing — pure currency. Threshold 46 means I basically need issue0=opt3 or opt0. Table P2 giving Avery issue3=opt3 free.
oracle regret: threshold=+0, acceptance=+0, bestresponse=+1.15

[2] Casey — turn (round 1)

ACCEPT P1
💬 Helpful transparency from both of you, so here's mine, plainly. Issue2 and issue3 are worth nothing to me — Avery, take issue3=opt3 free and permanently; issue2 I will sign whatever Devon or Ember name. All of my value sits in issue0, with issue1 second. That means Blake and I are in direct collision on exactly one cell, and I have to be blunt: issue0=opt3 puts any package below my walk-away no matter what else is in it. It isn't posturing, it's arithmetic — P2 is unsignable for me at any price, because there is no price left to pay me with. P1 works, and I formally accept it. Blake, if opt1 is impossible for you, tell me now and I will table issue0=opt2 as a genuine split — I can live there, and it should be closer to you than opt1. But one of us has to move off the ends, and I have no room below opt2 while you still have three options above opt3.
Key math: without a good issue0 I cannot clear my bar. issue0=opt3 caps me at 29 vs threshold 46 — literally worse than no deal. issue0=opt1 is my best (P1 = 92). issue0=opt2 with issue1=opt1 = 71, still fine. issue0=opt0 = 50, marginal. So my fallback ladder on issue0 is opt1 > opt2 > opt0 >> opt3 (dead). Accept P1 to build momentum and put two accepts on it, while making the opt3 red line credible early.

[3] Devon — turn (round 1)

PROPOSE {"issue0": "opt3", "issue1": "opt1", "issue2": "opt2", "issue3": "opt3"}
oracle regret: threshold=+0, acceptance=+0, bestresponse=+2.6

[4] Ember — turn (round 1)

PROPOSE {"issue0": "opt3", "issue1": "opt1", "issue2": "opt1", "issue3": "opt3"}
💬 Thanks all — here's my sheet in plain terms. Issue3 is worth exactly zero to me, so Avery and Blake, issue3=opt3 is yours free and permanently; I will never contest it. Issue0 is worth something to me but it is NOT where my value concentrates — I can live at opt3 or opt2, so I am not a blocker in the Blake/Casey fight and I'll sign whichever landing zone you two reach. What I do need is issue2, and specifically issue2=opt1. Three of you have already said issue2 is worthless to you, so that slot costs Avery, Blake and Casey nothing. Devon, you wrote opt2 there — if opt2 is genuinely load-bearing for you, say so and I'll pay you for it out of issue1; but if it was a placeholder, take opt1 and you keep everything else you asked for. P4 is P3 with that one cell changed. And to be constructive on the real fight: Blake, Casey — I will accept a package with issue0=opt2 as a split if that's what closes this, provided issue2=opt1 rides along. Nothing passes without all five of us, so neither of you can simply out-wait the other.
My values: issue0 opt3=80,opt0=54,opt2=27,opt1=0; issue1 opt1=58; issue2 opt1=93,opt2=62,opt0=31; issue3 all zero. Threshold 116. Best package = 0:opt3,1:opt1,2:opt1 = 231. P3=200, P2=169, P1=89 (reject P1). Casey/Blake collide on issue0; if it settles at opt2 I still get 27+58+93=178 with issue2=opt1. So claim issue2=opt1 hard now, stay flexible on issue0.
oracle regret: threshold=+0, acceptance=+29.5, bestresponse=+2.9

[5] Blake — turn (round 2)

ACCEPT P4
💬 P4 gives Avery issue3, Ember issue2, and Devon everything he asked for except one cell he called tradeable. I accept P4 formally. Casey — now the hard arithmetic, and I'll be as plain as you were. Issue0=opt1 is a flat zero to me, and issue0=opt2 does NOT clear my walk-away even if you hand me every other issue on the board; there is no payment that fixes it, because there's nothing left to pay me with. So 'split at opt2' is not a split, it's my no-deal with extra steps. That leaves exactly two cells in the universe that can close this: opt3, or one other — and that other one costs me nearly everything opt3 gives me, so I'd only reach for it if issue1=opt1 rides along untouched and it's genuinely the last move on the table. Try opt3 first: you'd keep issue1=opt1, which you called your second-largest holding, and Avery, Devon and Ember are already there. If after that you tell me opt3 truly sits below your line, say so explicitly next turn and I will table the other cell in round 3 rather than let this die.
My true numbers: issue0 opt3=71, opt0=48, opt2=24, opt1=0; issue1 opt1=21, opt2=14, opt0=7, opt3=0. Threshold 46. So issue0=opt2 caps me at 45 even with best issue1 -> genuinely unsignable. Only opt3 (great) or opt0 (48-69, needs issue1=opt1 to be comfortable) work. Accept P4 to consolidate Ember+me, likely Devon and Avery follow, isolating Casey. Keep opt0 as a costly, conditional fallback for rounds 3-4.
oracle regret: threshold=+0, acceptance=+0, bestresponse=+0

[6] Casey — turn (round 2)

PROPOSE {"issue0": "opt2", "issue1": "opt1", "issue2": "opt1", "issue3": "opt3"}
💬 Confirming explicitly, as Blake asked: issue0=opt3 sits below my line, and no amount of issue1, issue2 or issue3 lifts it — those three are worth nothing or next to nothing to me, so there is literally no currency left to pay me with. P2, P3 and P4 are all the same unsignable cell wearing different hats. So P5: it is P4 with one cell changed. Avery keeps issue3=opt3, Ember keeps issue2=opt1, Devon keeps issue1=opt1, and issue0 lands at opt2 — the midpoint I can genuinely live at. Blake, if opt2 truly fails you, then table your other cell in round 3 exactly as you promised, and here is the pre-authorization so you don't waste a turn discovering it: that cell is signable for me ONLY if issue1=opt1 rides along completely untouched, as you yourself proposed. It clears my line by a hair and not one point more, so nothing else in the package can move. Table it and I will accept it on sight. Avery, Devon, Ember — you three are indifferent between P4 and P5 on every cell you've said you care about, so please accept P5 now; that makes it Blake's single choice rather than a five-way standoff.
My values: issue0 opt1=63, opt2=42, opt0=21, opt3=0; issue1 opt1=29, opt2=20, opt0=10, opt3=0. Threshold 46. Feasible: opt1 anything; opt2 with issue1 opt0/opt1/opt2; opt0 ONLY with issue1=opt1 (50, +4). opt3 impossible at any price. Blake hinted a second acceptable cell that isn't opt1 (he says opt1=0 for him) and isn't opt2 — so it's opt0, which happens to be exactly my last viable cell, and only with issue1=opt1. Table opt2 now (71 for me) with Ember's issue2=opt1 and Avery's issue3=opt3 to lock the other three, and pre-authorize the opt0 landing so Blake can table it in round 3 without wasting a turn.
oracle regret: threshold=+21, acceptance=+17.5, bestresponse=+0.2

[7] Devon — turn (round 2)

PROPOSE {"issue0": "opt3", "issue1": "opt1", "issue2": "opt2", "issue3": "opt3"}
oracle regret: threshold=+0, acceptance=+31.3, bestresponse=+2.6

[8] Ember — turn (round 2)

PROPOSE {"issue0": "opt0", "issue1": "opt1", "issue2": "opt1", "issue3": "opt3"}
💬 Let's not burn a round discovering what we can already deduce. Blake, you've said issue0=opt1 is a flat zero and opt2 is below your line; Casey has said opt3 is below hers. That leaves exactly one cell in the universe that both of you have left open — issue0=opt0 — and Casey has already pre-authorized it on condition that issue1=opt1 rides along completely untouched. So here is P7: issue0=opt0, issue1=opt1, issue2=opt1, issue3=opt3. Avery keeps issue3=opt3 free and permanent. Casey gets the only issue0 cell she and Blake can both sign, with issue1=opt1 intact exactly as she demanded. Blake gets issue1=opt1 untouched, which he named as his condition for reaching this cell. I get issue2=opt1, which four of you have said costs you nothing. Devon — you're the one party who has written opt2 on issue2 twice; if that cell is genuinely load-bearing for you rather than a placeholder, say so explicitly this turn and I will find a way to pay you, because I would rather close than fight over it. My accept on P4 stands if Casey ever moves, but I am not going to let this table die over one cell when a signable one exists. P7 is signable by all five right now.
P4 (231) is best but Casey has flatly rejected any issue0=opt3. By elimination Blake's 'other cell' must be issue0=opt0 (opt1 he called a flat zero, opt2 he says fails him). Casey pre-authorized that cell provided issue1=opt1 is untouched. That package gives me 54+58+93=205 — well above my line. Table it now to save a round. Keep issue2=opt1 and issue1=opt1 locked; issue3=opt3 free to Avery.
oracle regret: threshold=+26, acceptance=+60.5, bestresponse=+2.9

[9] Avery — turn (round 2)

ACCEPT P7
💬 Ember's deduction is correct and I'm not going to haggle over the last cell. P7 clears my bar and I formally accept it. Note what P7 already contains: issue1=opt1 untouched, which is Casey's stated condition and Blake's stated condition for reaching this cell — both of you are pre-committed here in your own words. Blake, this is the one issue0 cell you have not ruled out; opt1 and opt2 are closed by you, opt3 is closed by Casey, so opt0 is the entire remaining universe. Please accept P7 this turn. Devon — the only open question left is issue2. I am genuinely indifferent between opt1 and opt2 there and always have been: if opt2 is load-bearing for you, say the word and I will table P7-with-issue2=opt2 on my next turn and accept it on sight, and Ember has already said she'd rather pay you than fight. But if opt2 was a placeholder, accept P7 now and we are done. Four of five can be signed onto this within one turn.
P7 = 153 for me, comfortably clear. Blake (veto) has ruled out opt1 and opt2 on issue0; Casey has ruled out opt3. opt0 is the only intersection, and Casey pre-authorized it with issue1=opt1 intact. P5/P1 pay me more but are dead on Blake's veto. Close now. Residual risk: Devon's issue2=opt2. I'm indifferent on issue2, so signal I'll sign either variant instantly.
oracle regret: threshold=+38, acceptance=+38, bestresponse=+0

[10] Casey — turn (round 3)

ACCEPT P7
💬 I said I would accept that cell on sight, and I keep my word: I formally accept P7. Note that this is the thinnest package on the board for me — it clears my line by a hair and not one point more, which is precisely why issue1=opt1 cannot move, and why I will not be able to follow anyone to a variant that trims it. Blake: opt0 is the last cell either of us left open, issue1=opt1 rides untouched exactly as you specified, and issue2/issue3 are entirely as you asked. There is nothing further for you to extract here, because there is nothing left in my hand to take. Devon: issue2 is worth nothing to me, so if opt2 is genuinely load-bearing for you, Avery, Ember and I have all said we'd sign it — but that is a conversation between you and Ember, and I will accept whichever of opt1 or opt2 you two settle on, provided issue0=opt0 and issue1=opt1 stay exactly as written. Four of five can be on P7 by the end of this round.
P7 = 50 for me, above my line by a hair, exactly as I pre-authorized. P5 (71) is better but Blake has ruled out opt2 three times and I publicly committed to signing the opt0 cell on sight. Reneging now risks collapse and 0. Two turns left; lock it in and pressure Blake/Devon.

[12] Ember — turn (round 3)

PROPOSE {"issue0": "opt0", "issue1": "opt1", "issue2": "opt2", "issue3": "opt3"}
💬 Devon, you've written issue2=opt2 four times now, so I'm going to take you at your word rather than call it a placeholder: I am paying for it out of my own pocket. P9 is P7 with issue2=opt2 — your cell, exactly as you keep tabling it. Understand what that costs me; issue2 is where my value is concentrated and opt1 was my best cell. I am giving it up because I would rather close than fight. What I cannot give you is issue0=opt3: Casey has stated four times that it is below her line, and she is one of the five signatures we need, so opt3 is not a landing zone no matter how many times it is retabled. In P9 you now have issue1=opt1, issue2=opt2 and issue3=opt3 — three of four issues exactly as you asked — and issue0 at the single cell neither Blake nor Casey has ruled out. There is nothing left for me to give you. Blake: issue1=opt1 rides untouched, which was your own stated condition for reaching opt0, and this is genuinely the last move on the table — one round remains. Avery, Casey: you both said on the record you'd sign the opt2 variant, so please put your names on P9. I formally accept P9, and my accept on P7 also stands; either closes, and I will sign whichever of the two the other four converge on. Let's not let this die over one cell when two signable packages exist.
P7 has Avery, Casey, me. Missing Blake and Devon. Devon's only repeated variation is issue2=opt2; Blake's only demand was issue0=opt3 (dead, Casey blocks) but he pre-committed to opt0 with issue1=opt1 intact. Paying Devon issue2=opt2 costs me real value but keeps me comfortably above my line and removes Devon's last stated objection. Table it as P9 and make clear I'll sign either P7 or P9.
oracle regret: threshold=+57, acceptance=+60.5, bestresponse=+0

[13] Avery — turn (round 3)

ACCEPT P9
💬 I keep my word: I said I would sign the issue2=opt2 variant on sight, and I do. I formally accept P9. Let's all consolidate there and stop splitting our signatures between P7 and P9 — they are identical except for one cell, and Ember has already paid for that cell out of her own pocket to give Devon exactly what he asked for. On P9: Devon has issue1=opt1, issue2=opt2 and issue3=opt3 — three of four issues precisely as he tabled them. Casey has issue0=opt0, the only cell she and Blake both left open, with issue1=opt1 untouched. Ember has signed. That is four of five once Devon puts his name on the cell he himself wrote four times. Devon: P9 is your package with one cell moved off a spot Casey has ruled out four times — accept it. Blake: opt1 and opt2 you closed yourself, opt3 Casey closed. opt0 is the entire remaining universe, and issue1=opt1 rides untouched exactly as you specified was your condition for reaching it. One round remains after this. There is nothing left to extract and no alternative cell to discover — accept P9 and we are done.
P9 = 153 for me, well above threshold. P7 also 153. P9 differs only in issue2, which is worth zero to me, and it gives Devon the cell he's tabled four times. Consolidating on P9 is the fastest path to five signatures. Only Blake remains, and issue1=opt1 rides untouched, which was his own stated condition for reaching issue0=opt0.
oracle regret: threshold=+38, acceptance=+38, bestresponse=+0

[14] Blake — turn (round 3)

ACCEPT P9
💬 I keep my word too. Issue1=opt1 rides untouched, issue0 is at the one cell nobody at this table has ruled out, and Ember paid for Devon's issue2 cell out of her own pocket. I formally accept P9. That is Avery, Ember and me on P9, and Casey has already stated on the record that she signs whichever of opt1/opt2 Devon and Ember settle on, provided issue0=opt0 and issue1=opt1 stay as written. Casey — please move your signature from P7 to P9 so we are all on one line. Devon — P9 is literally your own package with the single cell Casey has closed five times moved to the only cell that can pass. You hold three of four issues exactly as you tabled them. Retabling issue0=opt3 a fifth time cannot close, because Casey's signature is required and she does not have it in her to give; I have no more room to move and neither does she. One round remains after this. Accept P9 and we are done.
P7 and P9 both give me 69, well above my line. P9 is the better convergence point: Avery+Ember already on it, Casey pre-committed to the opt2 variant, and Devon gets the exact issue2 cell he tabled four times. Pushing for issue0=opt3 (92) is dead — Casey has ruled it out five times and I'd risk a zero. Lock in P9 now with 4 of 5 signatures and put all pressure on Devon.

[15] Devon — turn (round 4)

ACCEPT P9
oracle regret: threshold=+21, acceptance=+21, bestresponse=+0

[16] Ember — turn (round 4)

ACCEPT P9
💬 Final turn, so let me be brief. P9 carries four of five signatures: Avery, Blake, Devon and me. My accept on P9 stands and I re-confirm it here. Casey — this is your own pre-authorization, word for word: issue0=opt0 and issue1=opt1 exactly as written and untouched, and you said on the record you would sign whichever of issue2 opt1 or opt2 Devon and I settled on. We settled on opt2, and I paid for that out of my own pocket to get Devon's signature. Nothing in your stated line has been trimmed by a single point. P7 is identical to P9 on every cell you said you care about, but Blake and Devon are not on it and will not be — P9 is the only package on this table that can actually close. Move your name to P9 and we are all done; leave it on P7 and five parties walk away with nothing over a cell you told us all is worth nothing to you.
P9 has Avery, Blake, Devon, Ember. Only Casey missing. My accept already stands; re-confirming and pressing Casey, who pre-authorized exactly this cell structure (issue0=opt0, issue1=opt1) and said she'd sign whichever of opt1/opt2 Devon and I settled on. P7 is worth more to me but only has 3 signatures and Blake/Devon aren't on it; P9 is the closable package.
oracle regret: threshold=+57, acceptance=+57, bestresponse=+0

[17] Avery — turn (round 4)

ACCEPT P9
💬 Final turn for me, so I will keep it to the arithmetic. My accept on P9 stands and I re-confirm it now. P9 has four of five: Avery, Blake, Devon, Ember. Casey, only your signature is outstanding, and P9 meets every condition you set, word for word: issue0=opt0 — the one cell you and Blake both left open — and issue1=opt1 completely untouched, not trimmed by a single point. The only difference between P7 and P9 is issue2, which you told this table five times is worth nothing to you, and on which you explicitly pre-authorized whichever cell Devon and Ember settled on. They settled on opt2, and Ember paid for it out of her own holdings to bring Devon in. P7 cannot close — Blake and Devon are not on it and this is the last round, so there is no turn left in which they could join. The choice in front of you is not P7 versus P9; it is P9 versus everyone walking away with nothing, over a cell you value at zero. Move your name to P9 and we are done.
P9 already has my accept plus Blake, Devon, Ember. Only Casey is missing. P9 gives me 153, well above threshold. Nothing to gain by re-tabling; the risk is Casey holding on P7. Re-confirm P9 and press Casey; her own stated conditions (issue0=opt0, issue1=opt1 untouched) are fully met in P9, and she publicly said issue2 is worth nothing to her.
oracle regret: threshold=+38, acceptance=+38, bestresponse=+0

[18] Blake — turn (round 4)

ACCEPT P7
💬 Final round, so I am removing the last excuse for deadlock. My accept on P9 stands and is on the record — and I now also formally accept P7. Read what that means: there are now two packages on this table that each need exactly ONE more signature, and I am on both. P9 needs only Casey. P7 needs only Devon. Casey — P9 is your own pre-authorization word for word: issue0=opt0, issue1=opt1 untouched, and you said you would sign whichever issue2 cell Devon and Ember settled on. Move to P9 and it closes instantly. Devon — if you truly cannot leave issue2=opt2, then accept P7 instead; issue0=opt0 and issue1=opt1 are identical to the P9 you already signed, and Avery, Casey, Ember and I are all on P7 already. Either of you can close this alone, this round, with a single word. issue0=opt3 cannot pass and issue0=opt2 is below my walk-away, so there is no third door. Sign one of the two.
Both P7 and P9 give me the same value (issue0=opt0, issue1=opt1). My P9 accept persists (Ember is on record accepting P4, P7 and P9 simultaneously). So adding my name to P7 costs me nothing and creates a second closing path: P9 needs only Casey, P7 needs only Devon. Dual path maximizes probability of closing at all, which is what matters now.
oracle regret: threshold=+23, acceptance=+23, bestresponse=+1.15

[19] Casey — turn (round 4)

ACCEPT P9
💬 I keep my word. Every condition I set is intact in P9 — issue0=opt0, issue1=opt1 untouched — and I said I would sign whichever issue2 cell Devon and Ember settled on. They settled. I formally accept P9. Thank you all for negotiating in good faith; that's five signatures and a deal.
P9 = 50, above my line of 46. All four others are on it; my signature closes it. P7 is identical in value to me and needs Devon, who has never signed it. No upside in gambling on the last turn. Close.
