This is a thread where we can place bets on which threads are going to get locked, by whom, for what reasons, etc.
I think it would be a fun way to make a little ISK (or lose a little, for that matter) while we hang out here on the forums.
Any aspect of the lock (or lack thereof) can be bet on. You can direct your bet at one or more individuals, or you can simple offer a bet to any takers.
ISK bets only; no real-world stuff. No discussing what should or shouldn't have happened. If ISD is willing to let this fly at all (which I kind of doubt, but I'm hoping for) it's already dangerously close to discussing moderation. So don't do that here. Just place your bets, accept bets, claim your winnings, post when you pay up. Maybe . . . just maybe, they will let us have a little bit of fun here.
An example or two:
lock: [thread name], Ezwal, not amused, max 20 posts, reasons: duplicate, trolling. 100 million ISK, 5 slots.
lock: [thread name], Falcon, with snark, max 50 pages, reason: 50 shades of stupid. 1 billion ISK, 1 slot.
You get the picture. Bet on what you want, don't bet on what you don't. See if people are willing to take the bets. Though I suspect bets in the form of
lock: [some cloaking thread], anyone, duplicate. 20 billion, open slots
aren't going to get a whole lot of attention. Try to have some fun with it. :)
Anyway, just wondering if anyone else thinks this would be a fun game. I always want to do this, but by the time my bets have come and gone, the thread gets locked, and it's hard for anyone to accept the bet or pay up after the fact.
Come on, Vice-Admiral, I know it's thin ice. Let us give it a try and see if we can have a little meta fun here and behave ourselves.

You've certainly picked the appropriate time of day & week to try pulling this off for a bit.

All three of you are cracking me up with your truth. Betting: now good for both laughter and ISK.
FurryBot: Yes. I've been waiting all week to get maximum time before lock.
Crump: NONE OF US WOULD EVAR DO THAT!!!
Ralph: That's damn close to a bet. Want to legitimize this and put some money down? :)
I'll put down 1 billion ISK for one taker that says Ezwal shows up here and says something along the lines of, "This is extremely sketchy, but we're going to watch it closely and allow it for now. No lock . . . yet."
Yeah, that's my space dollars where my internet mouth is. Someone take it.

Naw, this thread wont get Ezwal'd. Since he's the big man now, he will post something semi-clever, and then will probably sick one of the lackies on this thread and lock for lack of content or discussing moderation so he doesn't look like the bad guy.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

Welp, there's content now that there's ISK on the line. Frankly, I give it a p < 0.000001 of not getting the lock. But if there was ever a chance for it to stay alive, Crumplecorn just gave it to me by taking a billion ISK bet. I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon |

If they did, I think it would be epic and wonderful. I would give CCP/ISD 100/10 if they trolled this thread making rigged bets with alts. That would be amazing.

I have no power to enforce any rules. I just proposed guidelines. It's all completely honor system. For all the good and bad that entails.
If you want to bet a ban, wager your own against someone else's. I think that's fair and viable. Make a bet someone might take. See what happens. I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon |

i posted a thread asking who was retiring from crime...
thread locked due to "rumor mongering"
isd is really getting out of hand. they would help the game more if they dedicated forum moderation time to moderating rookie chat... instead of locking threads on paper thin pretenses. Epic Space Cat |

I interpret that as a bet from you that's open to anyone. A bet that requires the loser to self-ban by ****. A bet based on locking characteristics that are all highly unlikely or game-able.
Are you sure you want to make that bet? I'm not accepting. Just making sure we are clear about what you're betting. I think you may want to reconsider. I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon |

This thread is really about making a few, fun, harmless bets on the specific outcomes of what some posters on the forums do to themselves when they break the rules.
That's it. This is not a commentary on moderation. It's not satire. It's not veiled criticism of ISD. It's none of your tinfoil-hattery. Sorry I'm not as smart and layered and nuanced and stuff the way you are.
Would you like to place a bet?

Also, Rain, I'm getting a little tempted to take your bet. If it was really offered. Post #28 is coming up soon.
I like you, and I enjoy your posts, and I don't really want to see you banned. But I totally want to see someone go down in ban history for prawn-posting. I'm sure that yours is top-shelf. I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon |
