More evidence is always good. Remember, you are dealing with Lance Alarmstrong.

A true analogy would be:

TMO & FE played a soccer game and lost 0-2. TMO claims there was a litigious hand for the first goal, and an offside for the 2nd one. Alarti bets he will give 100 bucks if the 2 goals are declared valid.

Referees are given a video of both goals. They seem to only review the 2nd one and decide to cancel the 2nd goal. However after a while, they find out the video was one from a previous match (a fraud), and declares the 2nd goal valid after all.

One month later, Alarti still claims to wait for the 1st goal decision, which so far we don't even know if it's even looked at or considered a potential issue. And you can't be sure the referees will even talk about the 1st goal.

In light of this analogy, does pre-handing the 100$ still sound like a bad idea to you?
Or at worse, Alarti should give a dead line to what he consider the 1st issue solved. No word about it for 4 weeks after the raid means it was not even considered. I doubt GMs would need longer than that, don't you agree?

GM responses are usually within a short period for raid disputes. If things stay "unresolved" for more than a week or two, they are swept under the rug as "we're not coming back to this". See the blanket of petitions Amelinda stated were being "resolved" by the last TMO suspension as precedent.

I have no idea what the actual bet was - but to say that he should pay a separate bet before the decision is made as a sign of good faith is dumb. The bet made for Fay should paid.

I believe Alarti will honor his bet if for no other reason than to not have to hear about it constantly for the rest of his time on this server.

Also, what was this Mortiiss/ Quickfingers bet? I hadn't heard about that one before.
Qf bet Mortiis that Eccezan's alt Holyspawn would be unsuspended. Mortiiss lost and as of yet hasnt paid up.

You made that post at 8:41 PM.

The account was unbanned at 8:04 PM.

Putting aside the obvious inside information, your condition of the bet was "Holyspawn getting unbanned" effective at any point between 8:41 PM and 11:59 PM.

For this condition to be met, the account would have to be rebanned, and then unbanned again, which is highly unlikely.

So you will owe those people 100k each at midnight. I'll hold you to it.

Selective memory much?
