All vul imps. Opponents are weak and conservative.

I passed in first seat. rate the craziness between 0 and 100
it went p-p-1♦-(2♠)
I bid 3♣. Rate the craziness as before.
it went
p-p-1♦-(2♠)
3♣-(3♠)-4♣-p
I bid 6♣!!! How crazy am I?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Pass is 0% crazy.

3♣ is 0% crazy.

6♣ is 75% crazy.

6C is just bad, just bid 5C and see if they let you play it.

Your other decisions seem fine.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

My problem with 3♣ is that we might talk partner into 3NT sometimes when we shouldn't be there. I'd almost be more comfortable with it if my heart and club honours were reversed. My hand isn't really very good in 3NT.

Still, that's my only problem - anything else partner bids, I'll be happy.

6♣ seems a bit much. Does partner open 1♦ with 4♦s/6♣s?
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

I think 6♣ is too much here. I'd have bid 4♠ and respected PD's possible 5♣ s/off.

If you really, really wanted to bid slam, why not 4♠ over partner's 4♣? Would any partner worthy of the name fail to bid slam when it is a good contract? Don't tell me it denies a heart control :lol:

First 2 bids, not crazy.

3rd bid qualifies you as a force to be reckoned with in a certain Watercooler thread.

The decision of what to bid over 2♠ is a difficult one for me. What factors should sway me towards bidding 3♣ instead of making a negative double? Would you also bid 3♣ with 1426 (and the same honors)? 2416?

The first pass is ok.
The 3C bid is ..., it does not exist in my book, but I guess you can agree
to play it as natural, given the high quality of the suit, I prefer either
X or Pass.
6C is just ..., I can understand bidding 5C, but bidding 6C is just crapshot.

With kind regards
