See if Mulder will take 6 for 4 Offer Cust 9 for 6 Offer Ellis 2.6 for 4 See if Kelton will be reasonable and take 1.99 for 5 See if Buddie will take 4.2 for 2 Nevin is dreaming if he thinks I will agree to that, but I will get back with him later. As for Spiezio, buh-bye.
Okay, go ahead and sign Cust and Kelton, as I don't want to screw with them, especially Jackie. See if you can get Ellis to accept 2.1 for 5 and Buddie to accept 3.7 for 3. I will have to think about what to come back with to offer Mulder.
We stopped doing negative contracting a way back when Zac was commish. You can not longer offer them a good contract to be safe and then if they agree see if they'll take a lesser contract. Once they agree you sign them (well I guess you could let them walk, but then why offer it in the first place). If Chuck has decided to open up for negoting contracts this way again, then nevermind me opening my big mouth
