BBS was smart enough to realise that honour means shit to him, also. That's why he designed this to motivate himself with greed instead. I gambled that nobody could be so lame as to have fifty bucks make a major difference in their life, but I guess I gambled wrong. The poor in the U.S. must be suffering worse than I imagined.


I've quit this site for months at a time before. It was because I had some important shit that needed to get done in my life and this site is a distraction.
BBS seems to have found a way to make a couple bucks out of the same situation.

I agree with this. I'm hoping he has a whole lecture for us when he gets back on how great of a capitalist he is or how one can achieve non-financial gains and financial gains at the same time. Something like that.

2. I don't like paying for things.
3. Therefore, I propose a bet.




BET:
If you catch me* on the fora** any time before 2013-02-10 (2013, February 10)***, then I will pay for your next ConquerClub premium membership. If you take this bet, yet I fail to appear on the fora, then you must pay for my premium membership (which expires on 2013-02-09 22:29:54). You need to renew it for me--to be very clear.

FINE-LINES:
*This only includes posting. This does not include lurking because there's no way I can verify if a photoshopped photo of "Users browsing this forum: BEEBS" was photoshooped.

**The fora include GD, this place, and any other subforum and subsubforum and whatever other forum. To be clear, the only exceptions are my clan forum, the PM system, and the Walls.

***The bet becomes effective 24 hours from the time of this post. I'll just revisit this when the bet expires to see who took the bet.

Since there was no explicit demand for a BBS post, why was there a supply?

He can hide, but "fora" is "fora" and the only exemptions in the original were for his clan forum.

yep, he screwed up. he really should have specified this only applies to the discussion forums in the first place.

I wonder if the greater lesson to be learned from this is that no matter how ready you think you are to launch a venture you should always get a lawyer to read the small print.

He also pointed out that any whatever forum counted, too:

**The fora include GD, this place, and any other subforum and subsubforum and whatever other forum. To be clear, the only exceptions are my clan forum, the PM system, and the Walls.


I don't think he had forgotten that he included tournaments when making the deal, but either forgot about the bet or that he was being generous.

My guess is an account sitter, saw the tournament, signed up, and forgot he was on BBS account.
