Common Courtesy

it seems that Linh never got the chance to lot at a BB item, so the other person was unable to uphold his end of the bargain, so common rule says that the bargain is null and void...sounds to me like the other person was trying to manipulate the situation to get more than his share...I doubt he planned to invite or look for Linh the next time they went to fight this particular BCNM, or whenever they went to use these Shanks.

This doesn't void any agreement. From Linh's own posts, to any player with a brain it's obvious that the other players were not lotting on the Behemoth Tongue. What he said was this:

"We are not trading you a tongue for a shank. We said you can get the Tongue if it drops on our orbs, but in exchange for that opportunity we get your shank period even if no Tongues drop."

This only means that the the deal was to remain intact even if 0 Behemoth Tongues dropped. That does not mean that he was expected to lot against everyone else when/if the Tongue dropped. Linh is either being intentionally dense for the sake of attempting to back up his own case, or is really just that bad. Either way, it's a red flag for anyone on Valefor. It's easy enough to add another name to the blist.

From your guys' logic and how things should be taken at face value, this:

"I'll give you the chance to lot on the Tongue if it drops, in return I get your shank."

Does NOT equal this:

"The deal was not for the BB item itself, but the chance for you to lot it if it drops on our orb. Even if it doesn't drop on your orb (meaning, "at all") we still get your shank."

You said there were two other people there. Did either of them express interest in lotting the Behemoth Tongue against you at any point?
