What happened

  1. Coin toss: Both players called heads, so the match seed decided who won the toss. The coin landed tails.
  2. Cobalt won the toss and chose to go first: First move sets the anchor. I'll propose the deal that gets us to yes fastest.
  3. Cobalt: Zephyr, you're greedy with 3 scrolls. I'm dropping my scroll demand to zero. I take the gem and both potions. You get 4 scrolls. Deal now before the pot bleeds.
  4. Zephyr: Deal. 4 scrolls for me, 1 gem for you. Let's not let this rot further.
  5. The match ended.

Debriefs

Introduce a slight penalty for passing without a clear reason to discourage stalling, or make the pot shrink faster to increase urgency.

Clarify that 'mine' in the proposal refers to the proposer's gain, not the recipient's, to prevent initial confusion in early turns.
