I live in Vegas, and the Spirit of the City appeared before me, and prophecied unto me that McCain, somehow will win.

However, because of the unfavorable current position, you have to give me some odds...

My side of the bet is this: If you come here and place a bet for Obama, and Obama wins, you gain the power to ban me for 3 days, at any point in the future you want. Don't like my BS on some particular thread? Order me to go away for 72 hours, and I will (if you bet on this thread that Obama wins and he does).

Your side will vary by poster. If I'm right and McCain wins (somehow)....

Here are some suggestions:

Lunatic Goofballs: Must make 12 serious posts on serious issue, with no mirth, frivolity, or humor. If he slips and makes a funny, he has to stop sleeping with my wife, in perpetuitum.

Jocabia: Must attend a Raelian seminar, lecture, or read a book by Rael, and post of a review.

The Cat Tribes: Must wear nothing under his judicial robes for 4 days.

Neo Art: Must submit an amicus brief to the high court of any country of his choice, alledging anti-semanticism on the part of some local official of that country.

Nanatsu no Tsuki: Must dress up as a BDSM version of Queen Isabella and post pictures (face blurred, or a sexy bondage mask, we respect privacy here).

Katganistan: Must dress up as a cat and post pictures (face blurred...or a sexy bondage mask.)

Intangelon: Must perform and record an awesome theme for Hammurab to play when he enters a room.

Straughn: Must give his twins small rings and tell them that they activate Wonder Twin powers, principally the ability to make their dad give them $25 once year.

Frisbeeteria: Must dress up as a frisbee (face blurred, or with a sexy bondage mask).



Propose your own, the idea of the thread being to illustrate your speculation on the election in the form of a bet...the more outlandish your bet, the more likely you think Obama will win and you won't have to follow through.

I'll vote BNP at the next local election.

If McCain wins, my bet is to sit through an evangelical cult that decries the dangers of occultism and RPGs and speaks out against logic. Or to read a Chick tract on RPGs and make a literary analysis of it.

I give it 11:2 that McCain wins, and 3:1 that Obama wins.

If Obama doesn't, I'll post a picture of myself with no shirt on.

If McCain wins. I'll post one thing, whatever LG wants. Anything. (As long as I don't get banned.)

my Birthday is on election day so nobody will be voting anyway...

if McCain loses I will stop drinking Jack Daniels

If Obama doesn't, I'll post a picture of myself with no shirt on.

I think the idea is we get something you don't give out for free :tongue:

Hey, I don't, so it still stands. :P

If that's not good enough, I'll write in Nader in the next election. Or I'll root for the Yankees for one game. Or something.

Write in Nader or root for the Yankees for a game?

You root for the Yankees for season and you're almost beginining to make up for writing in Nader.

If McCain wins, I will read the entire works of James Joyce (yes, Portrait of the Artist, Ulysses, AND Finnegan's Wake*) without ever once throwing the book away in disgust or uttering the phrase "pretentious wanker can't write worth shit."

*I am aware that Mr Joyce also wrote Dubliners and a number of short stories, but I enjoy those.

If McCain wins I'll never post here again.

I'll think of a name.




(actually, I don't want to bet because I don't desire the ability to ban anyone...hell, I only have one person on ignore and that's just to make some threads easier to read.

I can't wait till Kat sees what Hammurab wants...:D

i dont want 72 hour ban powers.

i want that you should have to reverse your position on the issue of my choice in the thread of my choice until the end of that thread. AND DO A GOOD JOB WITH IT!

in return, i will put up one dozen home-made from scratch chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies--BIG ONES. (the only problem being that they would have to be made and sent out priority mail after the 15th of november because i will be out of the country until then.)

Ah man...I want a dozen homemade from scratch chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies...BIG ONES! How 'bout if I bet you I'll wear a hat tomorrow? If I wear a hat, you have to send me cookies? C'mon...is it a bet? Isitisit?

Neo Art: Must submit an amicus brief to the high court of any country of his choice, alledging anti-semanticism on the part of some local official of that country.


Do not...fucking...tempt me.

If McCain wins I will make an incoherent post full of profanities. I will do the same if Obama wins, or if anyone else wins, or if anything happens at all.

I'm betting on Obama.

My Wager: I will offer five serious posts in defense of a position that I personally oppose, well researched and quoted, on any topic of choice.

I don't want Hammurab's 72 hour ban, so I will accept the first reasonable counter-offer that is made. The only single preference that I have is for Andaras to tell us exactly what he does for a living, and a general idea of what his parents did for a living. Other reasonable offers accepted, I'm giving 2:1 odds based on current poll numbers in battleground states.

I don't even do a good job defending those positions I'm in favor of, how am I supposed to ably defend the reverse?

However, cookies are simply too alluring a prize to forego the chance. Very well.

If McCain wins, I'll lol.

I think the idea is we get something you don't give out for free :tongue:

Why do I get the feeling you mean "stop drinking Jack Daniels" in the same sense as one stops at a stop sign...

Write in Nader or root for the Yankees for a game?

You root for the Yankees for season and you're almost beginining to make up for writing in Nader.

Hey, he said something you'd never do... :p

Also, Darknovae pleaded me for some shirtless pics, so I guess that it would be of benefit to her if McCain won. >.>

Why do I get the feeling you mean "stop drinking Jack Daniels" in the same sense as one stops at a stop sign...
That's just plain cynical and meanspirited. I'm quite confident that Call to Power will hold to his word by switching to George Dickel.

If McCain wins, I will read the entire works of James Joyce (yes, Portrait of the Artist, Ulysses, AND Finnegan's Wake*) without ever once throwing the book away in disgust or uttering the phrase "pretentious wanker can't write worth shit."

*I am aware that Mr Joyce also wrote Dubliners and a number of short stories, but I enjoy those.

As held in the landmark case Schniztelpuncher v. Garth Ennis & The United States Central Intelligence Agency, the use of Irish writers as a punitive measure in political matters is considered "beyond cruel and unusual and well into the unconscionably trodden fields of bog rotten bastardry".

However, I proposed the excercise, and in good faith cannot shrink now from the horrors I myself invited into the world...

I don't want ban powers. I want you to pretend that you can see 1 day into the future for three days. I get to tell you when to start and then you have to post regularly for three days while giving people the impression you can see 1 day into the future and thus answer people's responses before they make them. It also means you have to pretend it's all the time. You can predict events a day ahead, etc.

Renewable and Appropriate Energy Labratory? SURE. That sounds interesting.

Across from campus, hidden in the attic of a college bar, there's a whiskey club...

I met an old man there, and with him bided time, whilst my friend enticed a lovely young marketing major downstairs....

He bade me try a whiskey, and another, and soon led me to a wall upon which was a large, detailed map of Scotland, and another of Ireland, albeit the propietor hung them with such care that they did not touch...

When next I climb those steps, and see the old man, who is too alive in manner and laughter to be called a haunting ghost, I will say to him...

"Sir...I've come for some Dickel."

Hammurab, I think a better one for you would be this: no satire for a week! No blaming the Jews, or any other race, for anything. No pretending to be a closet homosexual homophobe, you have to reveal your true self, and actually present your own opinions! :eek: I know it's hard, but trust me, you can do this.

I said Rael, not RAEL. And if you truly think McCain is doomed, you'll wear the Raelian Movement symbol if he wins.

So, wait, how am I supposed to plausibly maintain this faux prescience? I'll be quickly disproven...may I play the matchstick man's game and keep my divining murky and vague?

Maybe I am a latent gay racist fundamentalist, have you thought of that?

What true self? How do you know I'm not a vessel, a glass, fragile and transparent, filled only by the opinions of others, trying desperately to believe that I force them to my shape, knowing all the while I am empty without them?

No satire for a week, Hydeland says. I'll take that as raising the stakes to a weeks ban, and you must render something of treasured worth to make that worth my while.

Ah you crazy Jews and your crazy ideas.

One that acknowledges that he is gay? Not likely.

Generally because those things, you know, don't actually exist. :)

Hmmm, can't think of anything.

Ah you crazy Jews and your crazy ideas.

We should put this on our currency. In latin, of course.

We had my son circumcised a few days ago. In passing, my sister mentioned our family has some Jewish (ethnic use), my mother's mother's mother or something.

I want to go rent Zohan when it comes out.

Evidently, if you convert to Orthodox Judaism as an adult, and had already been circumcised for other reasons, they still poke you in the wang to draw a drop of blood, as a symbol of your covenant with God.

I wish my trains of thought made more sense...

We should put this on our currency. In latin, of course.
"Ah ideas judeas crazy est"

YAS FOR MY LATIN.

One that acknowledges that he is gay? Not likely.

Maybe I acknowledge being gay because I buy into the myth that women want to fuck gay guys to "change" them, when in fact, I don't even really want the women, I really want the guys, but its become too convoluted for me to even form a coherent sexual identity, so I just jack it a lot.



Generally because those things, you know, don't actually exist. :)

I'm going to suddenly agree with that because I don't have an opinion of my own, so there.



Hmmm, can't think of anything.

Let's put that in Latin and make it the new presidential seal.

no.

but if i have to pay off this bet, ill send you half a dozen.

If Hammurab made a serious thread, how would you know? I'd just write it off as a joke which I didn't understand because I haven't read enough back issues of the New Yorker, Jewish Observer, Monthly Review, or whatever it is he gets his material from.

I tried to write something serious once. I wrote a piece on property owner liability in instances of third party criminal attack.

The professor didn't like it. He said "You understand the law, but you write as if you're writing a politcal science paper".

I've never written a politcal science paper.


I cry a lot these days.

If enough people are in on it, it could work.

What makes you think I don't dress as a cat?

sucker bet. after all, if obama wins, I doubt the mods will abide to people saying to ban you because you lost a bet.

Already then, I've a bet for you.

I bet on Obama winning. I might not like it, but he's going to win. So, if he wins, YOU have to admit that the Jewish people do NOT rule the world. In a separate thread, created just for that purpose.

What makes you think I don't dress as a cat?

I was thinking more about the Bondage mask...:eek2:

sucker bet. after all, if obama wins, I doubt the mods will abide to people saying to ban you because you lost a bet.

The ban will be voluntary, requiring no enforcement from the mods. As a matter of honor, I will willingly refrain from posting, should the criteria be met. I similarly trust in the other side to fulfill its end should McCain, somehow, prevail.

What makes you think I don't dress as a cat?
You mean you do, on a regular basis? And then teach class like that?
You're a braver woman than I.

But now acknowledging this makes this unlikely too. Hmm, I guess you could have multiple personality disorder.


I'm going to suddenly agree with that because I don't have an opinion of my own, so there.


Or maybe you do, but you're refusing to show your true self? :eek:


Let's put that in Latin and make it the new presidential seal.

Why not Hebrew huh? RACIST!

Already then, I've a bet for you.

I bet on Obama winning. I might not like it, but he's going to win. So, if he wins, YOU have to admit that the Jewish people do NOT rule the world. In a separate thread, created just for that purpose.

And if Mossad has me killed for openly defying their power?

But we'll give it a try. Pending some proportionate and mutually agreeable bet on your end, if the Bama wins, I'll open a thread admitting that Jews don't rule the world, in such a way as to open some kind of meaningful discussion, so as to avoid spam.

But what's your end of the bet?

I was thinking more about the Bondage mask...:eek2:
That was not the only option, as I recall...

I'll let you have your pick. Since I'm not really sure what i'm known for around here... Other than being here... You get to pick. :p

Oh, wait... Yep, you're right. *curses late-night reading skillz*

Dissociative Identity Disorder would make me way more interesting...as to the "true self", any genuine concept of self could conceivably be so subsumed by external influence that no remaining internal view survives beyond the merest remnant of particulate belief.

Have you tried writing stuff in Hebrew? I heard they have to read everything in a mirror 'cause its all backwards...s'what I heard.

One would hope you would. Let's see how creative you are.

And I'll attend the lecture, but you have to bail me out of jail. ;p Real life trolling for the win.

That's just plain cynical and meanspirited. I'm quite confident that Call to Power will hold to his word by switching to George Dickel.

Yankee heithen!

clearly I will be drinking Jim Beam so I an see what bars try to rip me off with through cheap imitations (and because bars here suck)

What makes you think I don't dress as a cat?

cats don't wear clothes! :eek2:

Should McCain win, my avatar will appear in a bikini for a month.

Should McCain lose, Hammurab will display an avatar for a month.

Bet?

Should McCain win, my avatar will appear in a bikini for a month.

Should McCain lose, Hammurab will display an avatar for a month.

Bet?

Can I pick the avatar?

Fair goes. If I get to pick my avatar's bikini, Hammurab should get to pick his own avatar.

Unless you want to make that your bet with him?

Fair goes. If I get to pick my avatar's bikini, Hammurab should get to pick his own avatar.

Unless you want to make that your bet with him?

SOunds fun.

If McCain wins, Hammurab picks my avatar. If McCain loses, I pick Hammurab's avatar.

I'm tempted to bet that I'll vote for the CEC in the next election, but I couldn't go through with that.

McCain wins, I'll drink nothing but Dutch Gold and Buckfast for a week, the lowest forms of alcohol known to man. I'll do my best to provide photographic evidence of this. Ugh

If McCain loses, Hammurab will display a prominent link to GM for a week.


I could live with this.

If McCain win, I will stop all bloggy posts....for one month.

If Obama win, Hammurab must post a thread proclaiming my greatness. :D

If McCain win, I will stop all bloggy posts....for one month.

If Obama win, Hammurab must post a thread proclaiming my greatness. :D
wow, wil, you are VERY sure that obama is going to win!

If Obama wins, Hammurab will include me in every poll that he posts from now until the end of time.

If McCain wins, I will support Hammurab in any one debate of his choosing to the best of my ability - regardless of topic, side, or ridiculousness of the argument.

Deal?

If Obama wins, Hammurab must start one thread making an argument of my choosing, and defend that argument for the duration of the thread.

If McCain wins, I'll...do something? I'm open to suggestions. :)

Fine, here's a bet for you!

If McCain wins then I'll look at dirty pictures of humans (as opposed to the usual dirty pictures of catgirls/nagas/succubi/etc.), but if Obama wins, Hammurab must admit that Dragonesses are very sexy. >_>

Agreed?

(note to mods: Rest assured, no questionable pictures or links will be posted here.)

buckfast is crap
Such lies and foreign propaganda!

wow, wil, you are VERY sure that obama is going to win!

Yea, he'd had to do something really really stupid to lose this election.

*now waits as McCain wins*

go Obama...if McCain wins....ill circumsize my cat

If McCain wins, well, I'll be happy if Palin is immediately purged from the ranks and otherwise quite dismayed.

Oh my dear, that was a mistake. You should know better then to ask this on the internet.Come, come .... we're quite the accommodating lot, you know. :)

Oh my dear, that was a mistake. You should know better then to ask this on the internet.

I probably should, but then, I'm a glutton for punishment - and besides, the suggestions should at least be amusing. :tongue:

What kind of punishment we talkin', darling?:tongue:

Should McCain win, my avatar will appear in a bikini for a month.

Okay, that's a bet, Ard.

SOunds fun.

Alright, if only for the sake of the board.

If Obama wins, Hammurab will include me in every poll that he posts from now until the end of time.

If McCain wins, I will support Hammurab in any one debate of his choosing to the best of my ability - regardless of topic, side, or ridiculousness of the argument.

Deal?

No, but I'll make a counteroffer...if Obama wins, I'll include you in the next 3 polls. Your side of the bet as stated above.

Deal?

Obama wins, I get €20 from you.
McCain wins, you get $20 from me.

Deal?

raising the stakes:

If Obama wins, Hammurab has to blow me
If McCain wins I have to blow Hammurab

If Obama wins, Hammurab must start one thread making an argument of my choosing, and defend that argument for the duration of the thread.

If McCain wins, I'll...do something? I'm open to suggestions. :)

Hmmm...Hammy must ponder.

Obama wins, I get €20 from you.
McCain wins, you get $20 from me.

Deal?

Those are the best odds you'll give me?

Nope, no deal.

raising the stakes:

If Obama wins, Hammurab has to blow me
If McCain wins I have to blow Hammurab

Odds aren't very fair, no deal.

Fine, here's a bet for you!

If McCain wins then I'll look at dirty pictures of humans (as opposed to the usual dirty pictures of catgirls/nagas/succubi/etc.), but if Obama wins, Hammurab must admit that Dragonesses are very sexy. >_>

Agreed?

Otay.

you do live in Vegas!

At least it's cooling off lately eh?

~~~~~

Okay, how about if McCain wins, I will post a pic of myself in drag
If Obama wins, you post a pic of yourself in drag


j/k - I guess punishing everyone no matter the outcome isn't really fair to NSG

Okay, I'm willing to up the bet.

If I win, you have to deny that you lost all the other bets. The more evidence people present that you lost, the more you have to pretend like you're making amazing arguments and that people just hate you for your freedom, particularly your freedom from the burden of rational thought.

If I win, you have to start all your future posts with "so..."

you do live in Vegas!

excellent! alright, then I stand behind my last bet

Those are the best odds you'll give me?

Nope, no deal.
What do you mean? The odds with two candidates are 50%-50%.

I could post a picture in drag, too....but it'd probably be less funny coming from me. Also I've sorta already done so, which spoils the joke a bit.

Heh, I was actually thinking of the first pic I posted, where I'm wearing a suit, though that might actually only have been on GM. I s'pose my bearded picture could work too. :tongue:

aw damn I think I missed that one :(

What do you mean? The odds with two candidates are 50%-50%.

That was sarcasm, yeah?

I support this bet. In fact, to give him odds, I'll post a pic of me in drag as well.

I have too many tattoos, it would compromise my identity...

How about a picture of my shih-tzu in drag?

If McCain wins I'll eat a bug. (Well why not? That what Sunday dinner would be by 2012 anyway)
:tongue:

Aren't you forgetting someone?:(

What's your side of the bet?

He summarily dismisses my bet without even considering it. :(

I think I responded to yours, post #81.

No, but I'll make a counteroffer...if Obama wins, I'll include you in the next 3 polls. Your side of the bet as stated above.

Deal?

If it's only 3 polls, you must include me in a positive and/or funny/sarcastic light in each poll - and it must be clever.

Sorry, I'm blind.

Dressing in drag doesn't require you to show extra skin, you friggin' sexist.

I lack the requisite aptitude for linguistic wit to provide any assurance that any content would be clever.

At most, I could commit to including your name in 3 polls, in some fashion that could be plausibly described as funny/sarcastic to some minimal standard.

I can establish an independent committee to determine if they're acceptable as "witty". I will not be a member, in order to make the bet fair.

Otherwise, if we're talking about a minimal standard, then I demand 7 polls.

"Indepedence" is nebulous and problematic, at best, to ensure.

I withdraw from negotiations on this particular bet, having provided no assent. Further, I reject all bets with Galloism at this time.

If it makes you feel any better, I generally rarely do polls.

Okay Hammurab, let's see if I can get something in.

If McCain wins, I will permanently erase all of my signature, and you may choose between the following:

I will add one quote of your choice, for at least 183 days, a maximum of five lines plus attribution, that is not derogatory, hateful, obscene, discriminatory, etc., from a third party that is neither you nor I.

Alternatively, I will add one quote of your choice, for at least 183 days, a maximum of two lines plus attribution, from a third party with the same requirements as above. In addition, I will be required to add another two line quote plus attribution that you came up with, which I must personally choose after no more than 10 business days following the election.

If you take my bet, you may defer the decision until Election day, and at any time change your mind until a final decision no later than 12:00AM Nov. 5, EST. You may either post the decision or TG me, but either way I will accept the last notification before the deadline.

Now, if Obama wins, you must add, at the top of your sig, a two line quote plus attribution, which will remain at the top of your sig for no less than 61 days, essentially a two month period following its initial posting. This quote is subject to the same decency requirements posted above, and must be a third party quote of my choice. Following this time, you may delete or lower the quote freely.

No matter what, both of us must allow our sigs to remain viewable in any thread, excluding IC threads in the RP forums that ask posters to refrain from allowing sigs in their posts.

If they are willing, anywhere between one to three mods may be polled to judge any complaint of indecency within the quote. Said mods will be the first ones to affirm a willingness to help make this bet go through.

So, do we have a bet?

What odds will you give me that McCain wins the election but doesn't become President seeing Palin become President?

What odds will you give me on the same thing happening but Obama instead of McCain and Biden instead of Palin?
