What would be *EVEN COOLER*

would be an even further extension.

This would be an application that runs *before* the turn is processed.

The application would check to see that matching trades were made, and if not, set the values traded to zero.

The way to do this would be a text message to your intended trading partner.

So, suppose mictlan wants to trade 150 gold for 10 fire gems from Abysia.

Mictlan would send two messages:

The usual message, sending Abysia 150 gold. And a second text message:
"CT 150 gold Abysia 10 Fire"

The application would check both turn files- if Abysia didn't send fire gems, the application would modify the gold sent to zero.
