This deal makes no sense for Rustle. Why would they give up their picks on AOW/Tunare/Vyemm/Yelinak/CT, going from maybe 15% to somewhere around 0% in exchange for going from 17% to 25% VP? It would be a pretty sweet deal for Awakened that Rustle would never accept.

I am reminded of this famous quote from Winston Churchill:
Churchill: "Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?"
Socialite: "My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... "
Churchill: "Would you sleep with me for five pounds?"
Socialite: "Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!"
Churchill: "Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price”
I don't think Rustle would take that deal either. But, no smart negotiator ever opens with their best offer. Plus, when you make that counterproposal you've taken control of the negotiations and set the direction (if you want a full VP slot, you have to make a concession somewhere) and say 'well, what's your counteroffer?' and go from there.
