I didn't get enough spheres to vig. Galz pushed pretty hard to make sure I wouldn't.
This is accurate. My original suggestion was that, as I had no huge use for spheres (15 for a Doctor shot which has a slim chance of hitting the correct target, and only matters if they aren’t Rolestopped or I’m not blocked):
Dylan could set out 55 spheres, and he needed 50 to Vig. If one of Scola or I stole from him we would receive 27, and Dylan would keep 28 (I assumed he gets the rounded up half). He would need 22 more spheres to reach 50. I suggested Scola & I only place out 42 so that the most Dylan could get from us was 21. I offered Scola to be the one to steal from Dylan because, as I said, I don’t need the spheres.
This would give me 42, Scola 42+27, and Dylan 28. Dylan could then gain an additional 21 from either Scola or me depending on who he stole from.
Scola rejected the plan though as he wanted to guarantee he ended with at least 60 or more, and if Dylan stole from him he wouldn’t reach that value.
In the end Scola & I both put out 20 Dun to protect our charge. I assume Scola stole from Dylan. I attempted to steal from Scola to keep him honest from charging all 90 of his spheres (which is how I know that he did in fact use the 20 Dun as we stated).
I have 50 now. I assume Dylan has 28 & Scola has 97.
