Originally by: Dao2SKP The real problem I see is this thread, and the reason Pilk made it.
E-Peen
My peen, "e-" or otherwise, is fine, thanks. As to why I made the thread (and the bet), read on.
Reference: Original bet confirmation post.
Originally by: Montaire And again, if they had wanted to specify a certian number of playable hours, they could have. That they chose not to, knowing fully that EVE goes down at least daily, means they understood the risks implicit to downtimes and made their agreement in that light.
Had Pilk waited to take FAT, relying on the very last moment, he would equally have had to pay up.
Correct, and I would have (unhappily, but willingly) done so.
Originally by: Obidios People saying the bet was won because of downtime are ******s. Even if IAAAAC put towers on every moon and killed all of BOB's it would still be our station today.
This is the most important quote to those railing about unplanned DT's. On the date of the completion of the bet, BoB would have held the station regardless of any RSF/IAAAC actions short of a spy offlining the BoB towers. Any discussion of the DT is therefore moot.
Originally by: Moon Kitten What happens if he doesn't pay up?
Absolutely nothing. As explicitly admitted in the original post about the bet, there's nothing forcing either of us to pay. I will note, however, that I offered, in good faith, to put assets worth 500m in escrow with a trusted third party for the duration of the bet.
Originally by: prsr Obviously the the extended downtime is only relevant if you're looking to get out of the bet.
Lesson for next time: bring more lawyers with your next bet and write down all the exceptions that people are making up in this thread after the fact.
Clearly, such disclaimers would be necessary if betting with a Goon. I'm hoping that Tyrrax hasn't seen this thread yet, and that's why I have not yet been paid; I have sent him an EVEMail with a link to it.
Originally by: Hunter Vonnegut I think the funniest thing about this thread is that it is a six page thread about a bet between TWO people and the post count between the TWO involved is only FOUR.
CAOD wins again!
Heh, true. But I posted here in the fun spirit of the original bet, to keep things spicy, and because I was headed out of town and wanted something interesting to return to. Thus far, with the exception of the bizarrely-large amount of talk about WW2, this thread has delivered. I'll be emailing the mods to request a cleanup of the WW2 references shortly.
Originally by: Arshes Nei Amusingly some people dont get it. I dont know much about pilk(even though he is on my side and i see him in gangs giving boni), but TT is the kind of guy who fielded *youknowwhat* in a tournament. Thats not the kind of guy that tries to hide behind petty excuses in my book.
Besides its a gentlemans agreement, some of you might not understand that but normal betting rules dont apply to that. Those kind of bets are never voided for any reason, apart from one of the involved parties being less then they thought themselves to be.
Quoting for truthiness.
