Enact a new rule entitled ‘Economical Benefits’ that reads as follows:
As a daily action, a Captain in a Yellow sector may post a Trade Offer, which is a Story Post whose title contains the words “Trade Offer” and whose text indicates the sector that the Captain occupied at that time and that contains a nonempty Want list and a nonempty Have list. Each entry in the lists shall be one of the following:
- A quantity and type of Resource.
The Captain posting the Trade Offer must possess everything listed in the Have list when he posts the offer; the contents of the Have list are deducted from that Captain’s inventory when he does so. The sector indicated in the Trade Offer (the sector occupied by the Captain who posted it at the time of posting) is its Market Sector.
A Trade Offer is Open, Canceled, Completed, or Reclaimed. A Trade Offer is initially Open. A Trade Offer is said to be Active if it is Open or Completed. A Captain may not post a Trade Offer if he is located in a sector that is already the Market Sector of another one of his Active Trade Offers.
A Trade Offer may be Canceled by its author posting a comment to that effect to it if he is in its Market Sector. When a Trade Offer becomes Canceled, the contents of its Have list are returned to the Captain’s inventory.
A Captain (the Claimant) other than the author of a Trade Offer, if in that Offer’s Market Sector, may Complete the Trade Offer by posting a comment to it indicating that they are Completing it. To do so, they must possess the contents of the Trade Offer’s Wants list. Upon doing so, the contents of the Wants list are deducted from the Claimant’s possession and the contents of the Haves list are given to the Claimant.
When a Trade Offer is Completed, its author may, when in in its Market Sector, Reclaim the Offer by posting a comment to that effect to the Offer. Upon doing so, they receive the contents of the Wants list of the Trade Offer.
Trade!

Reclaiming does not explicitly change the status of a Trade Offer, does it?
