    And that's where you understand it (and him) wrong. He got three chances. The chance was not to lot against others, because he was the sole lotter. The chance was about the drop itself.

    P: "For 10 bucks I'll toss this coin three times. If it's head, you win a prize."
    L: "Alright."

    First toss: Tails.
    Second toss: Tails.

    L: "Wait, do I have to pay even if it's tails again?"
    P: "Yes. 10 bucks bought you a chance to try three times."
    L: "You wrong me!"

    All affirmations are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense.

    He was the sole lotter. He is just being dense and trying to twist what was said in order to make himself look like a victim.

    "The deal was not for a Behemoth Tongue, but for the chance to lot it if it dropped."

    Period. End of story. That's what was said. This does not mean that other people are lotting against him. That simply means that there is no obligation to get a Behemoth Tongue if one happens to not drop on any of the orbs.

    I'm not sure you fully understand what's been stated Greatguardian...he's never specified that he was or was not the sole lotter...if he was the sole lotter, then why would the deal have been for a chance and not the item itself? and for that matter, if there was not other potential lotters, why was the run done in the first place? He didn't start the run, the other guy did...Linh just joined along.
