"If you want" is hardly strict contract vocabulary. What Kuhan wanted was to not be scammed out of money and was willing to adhere to your suggested method of ensuring he wasn't.
Lawyered.
except its a game not real law. And the spirit of an agreement is often the founding issue NOT the exact words.Quote:

I can't wait to see which one of you has the balls to attempt raze killing Proteus over this, or are you all just talking ****? Hypocrits
Palem makes some great points. It boils down to these 2 quotes:

Everyone on this forum just rages and trolls. You can all have a worse opinion of Proteus if you want, but penalizing him for not honouring a $100 bet made on a whim in a game forum would be
saD
Because he agreed to it in exactly the same fashion that Proteus did. If he tired to weasel out of it like Proteus is doing, he would be recieving the same treatment.Quote:

Just my opinion...
lol at this ridiculous notion that money has to be held in escrow for a bet to happen. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If you won't honor a bet, don't make it.Quote:

They did, Proteus suggested ASF while Kuhan couldnt get hold of ASF its rather pointless but as a gentleman Proteus should still owe up to his deal.Quote:
Originally Posted by SillyRabbit
That essentially sums it up. The fact that they tried getting ASF means they were both serious about the bet. Suddenly you're no longer serious cuz you lost? That's a punk's way out.Quote:
