Rule 1 wasn't at all what I expected.

Offer Luckay two of my soldiers and both my 20% cards for his merchant.

Offer Josh my Merchant AND my 2 rules - Rule 4 and Rule 19 - for any 3 of his cards (cards as in not 20% cards or rules ldo)

I'm fairly sure that even 5 of your cards for my merchant would give you a positive amount of points

I'm confused as to why you wouldn't expect what rule 1 to be especially since you've seen rule 2

I've been making assumptions about what certain rules say based on what's happened in thread.

Rule 1 was actually pretty much exactly what I expected rule 11 to be, which disappoints me.

Everyone else: I'm looking to get a merchant/monk/artist. If nobody else will trade with me then I am forced to trade with Luckay, which will greatly improve his position.

josh, at this point in the game, I can definitely pretty much tell you what merchants do. I assure you they are good, and I assure you that, unless rule 5 is something that affects your hand (I haven't seen rule 5 yet), that even with 6 of the cards in your hand you would get less points than the merchant

THIS IS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.

THIS TRADE WOULD BE WORTH SOMETHING LIKE 30 POINTS TO HIM, NET. AND IN EXCHANGE YOU GET A CARD YOU DON'T KNOW THE VALUE OF, TOGETHER WITH HIS ASSURANCE IT'S A GOOD DEAL.

1 card for the merchant would probably be +EV for both sides, afaics. 3 cards for the merchant is probably about neutral for you, and a massive coup for him.

(the reason he hasn't accepted your 2-1 deal, despite it being a steal for him is probably that he realised that to win, he needs to screw you [especially after his huge blunder] and so is pretending to be doing you a favour)

my prior actions with merchants demonstrate my knowledge of just how valuable they are

if you go back to the beginning and read all the way to here, using merchants as a key search word, I've always been trading for merchants and only been giving them away for favorable trades. They really are worth that much

I think I screamed my head off when kokiri got a merchant too

ok, the rules that I haven't seen yet are 5, 10, 14, 18

I really doubt I've made a blunder, but if I have and someone wants to tell me about it, I'm probably willing to give a good trade to throw in
