Its quite easy when you break it down:

Box is taking a partner, thats entirely his deal not anyone else's. The Captain and Crew are still playing against the box.

So, when Box is handling the cubes, his risk is shared by his partner, to whatever extent was discussed. Typically this is a half share of the cubes in play. The box is still in charge, he is merely financially liable for whatever he and partner have discussed.

The same goes for a captain or crew member making an offer - this is outside of the game, and a crew member buying the captains stake in the game still means that for all practical purposes, the captain is still the captain, and must play accordingly - the feature of this agreement is that captain should make whatever play crew member tells him to - unless there are other considerations (like other players with turned cubes etc). Keeping it simple is key.

Basically any and all deals made by players with the primary participants of a chouette are outside of the chouette, and should not in any way affect the play or position of the players in the chouette.

Make sense? Can you tell I play in a lot of chouettes?
