I hate making "rules" for myself - both IRL and games like this - because I just find "good cause" to break them anyway.
So I've never used "house rules" when it comes to trades. In past versions, if a trade appeared too unfair or lopsided, I just wouldn't make it.
Along comes ootp22 with the trade slider. After some testing, I settle on level 8 (out of 10) figuring that will make thiings more difficult and I can always still pass on the occasional trade I think is unfair.

I want things to be realistic. Tough to make a deal or fleece the AI.
So what happens? Now I find myself dropping f-bombs and shouting things like "Are you kidding me? You still want ANOTHER prospect" or "It's never enough is it?" at the AI when it won't bend to my will.

Then I remind myself why I set the slider to 8 in the first place and calm down. Another glass of wine never hurts either.
LOL I miss the thanks button. Great post, still laughing.
