Common Courtesy

[Greatguardian]

He didn't say whether he was the sole lotter or not, and I'm assuming that he wasn't since the deal was the chance to lot, but that's irrelevant...the fact is that he never got the chance he bargained for.

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.

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!"

Exactly this.
