Sorry, but still have my thinking cap on (but it`s round, so I don`t know if it`s on straight or backwards, and that pointy top has me a little concerned! LOL).
The wild card scenario - someone else stepping in to influence the situation. Any entity stepping up and buying the whole enchalada (PTSC and TPL) would have a heck of a bargaining chip to cripple competitors or gain other business advantage (enter ultra wild card Mr. Softy). Both PTSC and TPL can be seen as being in a moment of weakness right now. Good time to strike....
Note this is WILD CARD (which usually is removed from the deck before play).
