I offered to have the mods step in and enforce the bet (IPs and whatever). Jem has yet to respond definitively, even though he made some initial noises about wanting to take the bet. Can't seem to pin him down, though. And my offer will not remain indefinitely.Quote from 377OHMS:
Agree. Nobody should enter into a wager with Brass and expect to be paid or have him honor the agreement. He would invent various reasons to welch...
Care to step in for him? We'll get the mods to enforce the deal upon agreement, so there can be no weaseling out. Obama wins, you lose the bet. Obama loses, you win the bet. Check the option you prefer (I suggest you go for the gusto):
Quote from Brass:
...Option 1. The loser leaves ET forever.
Option 2. The loser cannot post in P&R only, for the duration of winner's presidential term. So if Romney wins and he stays in office for two terms, then I cannot post in P&R for 8 years. Note that Obama can only have another 4 years, so, in addition to your earlier "smart money" comment, this bet is all edge for you.
Option 3. Loser must refrain from any posting on ET in its entirety for a period of either 1, 2 or 3 months. Please specify the duration of your choice if you choose this option...
