Fair enough.  I'll see what I can do.

Paragraph 3 does not mention 1.   It says you pick an *amount* and you
lose that *amount* and the other COO gains that *amount*.

Paragraph 4 is just there to stop the amount being negative or more
than you have.

You couldn't unless you had a zillion points.  "The player declares
how many points ey wishes to exchange (which cannot be less than 0 *or
more points than ey has*)
