I'm going to bed. This bet is 14 hours in. To be honest, by the time I get into work tomorrow and have time to check this it's not worth my effort to continue the charade.
so the jig is up. This bet was paid before it was made. Feel free to check with A&C or Rob.
I contacted Rob and asked him how finances were going. I decided to give 100 based on the response, and then asked if I could run this experiment. And it worked well. Without any posts about how it was policed, the thread worked well and never needed mod interventions. People even had fun. Our only aggro was an hour when JTY was getting under people's skin. But that happens in any forum like this..
I love this site and, like you, I am welcome to help out financially as much as I can. What my 100 gets me.....probably a little leniency when I write up some batshit insane post. What my 100 will never get me....ability to dictate policy. They would never allow me that, and it's why I had to contact them to even run this.
Anyway, I'm not dick enough to take away 100 from my favorite site over some random comment. And I can't imagine that A&C/Rob would allow me to openly wager such. But the fact that they would allow this experiment says epic amounts about them. You guys are rock stars! I mean that. No other site would allow such things to go down. And you should wake up everyday, as I do, thankful for such a great site. Seriously
I paid this bet off 14 hours ago, but am happy to be able to say that I lost. And it was a good day of fun for the most part. And it was a 100 well spent. Hopefully we can continue on a fun day.
Cheers
and the next time you think to try a social experiment, check the exchange rate. Rob openly laughed at my discovery of the dollar's weakness after I gave. He should have though, because it was funny discovering that 100 was $160USD.
