If that were true then the whole thing falls apart as soon as the first proposal is made. They all have to trust that A will follow through with the proposal, of which they apparently do not.

- the_af 11y agoThey do trust A (the first proposal). If all of them accept A's proposal, they are all committed to honoring it. What they cannot trust is any hypothetical proposals made by a pirate whose turn is not to make the current proposal. "I have the turn and I propose we split this way": trusted. "I don't have the turn yet, but when it's my turn, I promise I'll propose this / kill him / won't kill you": not trusted.
