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.
Prove it. Cause honestly, just saying something is true doesn't make it true.
Also, if this was true. You have no e-honour! You take a bet and abusing someone lack of knowledge to make a profit for yourself?! Anyways, I would be less of a baby about this myself and go 'Meh, extend it for x amount of days. Furture unplanned downtime won't effect the bet deadline.'
Cause either way, your bet is you believe whoever can continue to hold the system. While others are saying they can take it away in x amount of days. Or do you no longer have faith in your group to continue to hold the system? If that's true, then honestly it's a lose lose. Not only are you taking advantage of someone else and having no e-honour, but you also have no faith in your 'friends'.
Now for my sport whatever. This is like Mighty Ducks vs. Iceland and the ice rink melted so they couldn't skate at the schedule time but since Iceland is the home team they claim their the winners.

Okay. On the day I posted this, BoB had sov in the system. Sov only changes at DT. Therefore, BoB could not NOT hold the station on the 21st, regardless of anything RSF/IAAAC did.
Does that explanation constitute sufficient proof?

Ya they won against the germans in the same way that goons are making any progress against BoB, by bending over for the ruskies.
Was this before or after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor

You realize the bet was made to end on the 21st and you posted a day early. If all towers would have been destroyed Sov would have gone neutral on the 20th and then whoever had more towers up would have gotten Sov on the 21st. Way to own yourself.

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: 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.

Quoting myself for awesomeness....
I see where the confusion could arise. If sov had gone neutral at 12.01 on the 21st, and if IAC held the station at any point during the ensuing twelve hours, I would have paid, but would also have expected to be paid, as well (i.e., both of our "paying conditions" would have been satisfied--IAC holding the station, and IAC *not* holding the station--on the day in question). That said, I can conceive an interpretation of the bet wherein that's not the case, and I would not have become upset if Tyrrax felt he didn't have to pay under those circumstances. Nonetheless, I interpreted the spirit of the bet to be midnight on the 21st, which meant holding sov on the 20th at 11:59 P.M. was sufficient to win it.
You're right that I need to be more specific in the future, but in this case, the argument is moot, because BoB held sov from 00:00 through 23:59 on the 21st.

Well checking the sov map... BoB still owns FAT. So even with the servers down IAC has had time even with max stront to try again and still have failed to take FAT. IMO Pilk should get his isk even if you add time for the DT that happened.

It is my continuing hope that he is merely AFK or busy elsewhere IRL. I have sent him an EVEMail pointing to this thread; all I can do at this point is wait.
A guy who lost three 60b+ isk ships is unlikely to suddenly turn dishonorable over 500m.

I hope u get it m8. Despite what those guys say about the bet, it was pretty legit, a bet is a bet, if there are circumstances unspecified at the time of a contract that occurred in the process of its fulfilment, the principle of the law is that you take the contract literally, which in this context implies that he lost.
