saint j's ban/avatar bet proposal

[Mother Grabber]

Why not keep it at two months? I mean, you're certain to win, so what do you have to lose...or are you not so certain after all?

[Saint J]

Well first off, I'm a gambler at heart which is why I take offense to this without even having anything at stake.

You can't make these general bets to say "whoever" gets "a week", every bet is basically like a legal contract.

You win #1 guy, you get to pick my avatar from Date1 through Date2.

You win #2 guy, you get to pick my avatar from Date3 through Date4.

ect, ect....

You can't keep adding people on to the original bet (if you lose) when that's not what you agreed on originally. Each bet needs to be specific and distinct from one another.

so what's your solution? you haven't really added anything to the conversation in 3-4 pages now.

[John Fox]

just keep it as it is, we're making a bet on a god damn football game, not passing a new bill in congress

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Uh, my solution is that you don't try to bet off an avatar time to multiple people for the same time period.

You make a bet, it's specific...

You win, my avatar is whatever you want for December.

I win, your avatar is whatever I want for December.

Notice, given these specific parameters, YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS BET WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE. I know your confident you will win and everything but you can't just assume you will and throw out the possibility of having to pay up if you lose. To make multiple bets you need to do the following...

Well, I already bet Fiz that if I lost he would choose my avatar for December... so I can make a new bet to change my bet in January... or some other time... or change my signature... or basically ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN THE TIME I ALREADY BET ON.

Do you understand that or is this too complicated?

you aren't even in this bet, i am, fiz is, and so is i am god. they have no problem with this, whats with the attitude?

also, me and fiz are betting our huddle accounts for a week, we lose if the saints win by more than 11 points. they fail to cover and aint j is gone

[Saint J]

it seems that you don't understand that this isn't a serious bet, it's for fun. so your gambler's logic is useless here. it's simple:

i win, the posters i bet with leave for a week and wear the avatar of my choice for a week, if i lose the posters that i bet with get to have a week to choose my avatar for an individual week in addition to me being gone for a month. so provided that i lose, fiz would get the 1st week when i get back, IAG the 2nd, and JFOX the 3rd.

/don't waste your time with any more 'advice'.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Oh lord, so if you win, what do you win exactly?

Changing SaintJ's avatar... which would be changed even if you aren't in the bet???

So, basically you stand to lose, but nothing to gain.

[God]

We cover the spread, fiz picks your avatar for December, and I pick it for January, and Foxy picks Feb.

so we put in the avatar the week we're gone?

[Saint J]

a month is cool too.

OK that's not what you said. You said they would have to choose your avatar together for one time period, not have consecutive weeks individually to choose.

[Saint J]

the week you get back i'll have all of your new avatars ready which you'll sport for a week.

eta: IAG, a month is fine with me only if fiz and JFox agree. personally i like going by weeks.

[PanthersFanNY]

I wish Saint J wasn't so bored.

[Saint J]

go back a few pages, i asked if the week system was far and changed it. now gtfo.
