If the opposing team doesn't deposit the first one, all you did was give them 4 points and can now tell other teams about their backstabbery and quickly start throwing those foamy pieces of negotiation to the other side of the field.

I scrolled through 4 or 5 pages on this thread to check and see if anyone mentioned it, if they did I'm sorry :c
And this is why agreements like this are risky. If ONE PERSON (or team, or alliance) does not want to uphold their end, they can theoretically take down the whole thing.

My overall position: Whatever you choose to do, make sure that 1) you make your position clear, either by accepting (or making) or declining an offer, and 2) if everybody accepts the offer, hold up your end. And if the other alliance doesn't hold up their end? Let's just say that how long they're off your picklist for is up to you. (And... if you're a top 8 team and they pick you, you could always decline.) Word will get around, even if it isn't from your team.
