I don't like this. White cuts his losses and starts getting a grip on the upper left corner, and black is overconcentrated. We might be ahead in points, having secured a corner and captured five stones, but white's wall is worth more, especially after this:

White has trivial territory. Black still has the corner, and black now has the wall. All of the marked white stones are now next to useless and probably cost more to be saved than they are worth. White cannot play the a - b - c sequence, for 'b' is a threat to kill. 'D' is gote for both, but useful only to white if he can match black' wall.

More thoughts...
I prefer 1 as below:
White can still try to sacrifice the five stones on the right in return for territory in the upper left, but this time the marked black stones are connected, and the three white stones in the middle are floating.

Joaz's move is something I considered quite a bit too, it lets the corner live in exchange for outside thickness. My only problem with it was that I feel I have to take gote to capture O14, meaning that White lives in sente.

Perhaps Joaz feels its not necessary to capture O14 immediately, or that the position still favors us even if we do. The next few moves I feel comfortable I won't cause intervention from Joaz (I think I've read things out fairly throughly), but I guess I will have to evaluate whether to take sente after White lives or to capture O14 more firmly. I suspect Joaz won't pick a gote sequence that lets White live, so I'd probably tenuki to next big point after forcing White to live / connect small.

Approved
I'm not super happy with our position. We may end up sacrificing these stones for thickness. I think I want us to play N14 next as a forcing move to disconnect black, but we'll see what they do first.

I approve.

I guess what we are doing, deconstructed, is: Apelion proposes 23, I approve, we assume that 24 is the only reasonable move, Phelan will play it, Daniel will approve it, Aphelion plays 25 and I approve that too.
@Phelan & Daniel: Is this ok with with you?

Phelan should answer first.

If we force first and black ignores, this happens:

Is that worth a correction if Phelan accepts the trigger? It depends if I think he's likely to find the forcing move at all. If I don't think he is, I should correct it immediately. If I think he will eventually find it, I should let it slide-- the difference in the last two diagrams may not be worth a correction, esp. since we're already short on them.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

Are triggers just too complex in this game? Should we go move-by-move?

I think triggers which only require 1 response are workable, anymore is too complex. Is the current trigger situation too confusing? I personally think its ok.

Perhaps we should adjourn the game, as Phelan is busy with his own issues? The format itself is intrinsically time consuming, and its difficult to continue a game like this.
