1.2: A trade being one-sided is NOT grounds for a veto. Understanding that attempting to gain the upper hand, making a risky and/or gutsy decision, and possibly even sneakily gaining an advantage through a trade at the expense of the other party constitutes part of the game, vetoes are intended when a Member believes the trade in question causes unnecessary harm to the League and can’t be defended by the involved parties, or the circumstances of the trade are specifically listed in the Constitution as a cause for a veto.
