V1- I take any offer.

V2 - I take any offer.
I, who would reject the offer in the original formulation, would take these offers.

I'd guess some people reject the offer even though it hurts an innocent guy and benefits the guy who is "unfair".
Perhaps.  Then you can call them envious and jealous, respectively.  It's less plausible, though, that the people who, like me, reject the original offer but accept these reformulations, are acting out of envy or jealousy, since if I was envious I would not accept either V1 or V2, and if I was jealous I wouldn't accept V2.
