Please pay bookworm, AE. Unless you were being humorous and didn't even intend to be taken seriously.
Alas, I never agreed to bet him. Nor did I agree to bet Woody. The only people eligible to accept were K1 and JIA, as I said.

This could be taken as sarcasm, especially considering that you did not say it first
Exactly. The original post did not specify any conditions, so I believe legally, even if you mentally intended it to be sarcastic, it’s valid to be accepted as written. Then when you posted the conditions, that was the post that would be taken as sarcasm. But even if the second was serious, it can’t be retroactively applied to the first after the bet was accepted.

So wait, I'm legally obliged to pay every user on the ToO ten dollars? It's either everyone or no one. You asked to take up the bet, and I denied your request. What's the problem here?

No, only me. (And perhaps by a stretch Woody.) We were the ones that accepted said bet.

I did not ask, I accepted. You can’t deny someone a bet, that’s how a bet works. You offer, they accept. It’s not a request.
If you don’t intend to follow through, you don’t make the offer. That’s why it’s called gambling.
You can continue dodging if you wish, but I’ll get my money one way or another.

If you’re referring to the last line, that wasn’t a threat it was just a statement. Don’t worry, I’m not going to send my goons after him for $10.
How then would you get the money? It's not like I'm going to give you $10 that I don't feel I owe you.

In honor of K1's arrival, bookworm, KODY 105 and Woody will all receive $10.
It's good to know you're alive, K1. You'll be happy to know that I regularly use the word "vale" because of you.

I am pleased to learn my vocabulary is still influencing the next generation of AIO-listeners. Some ToOer whose name I didn't quite recognize PMed me (and yes, that still notifies me via email, which I do check still, folks) and said AE owed him money. And I couldn't let my good friend owe anybody any money, so here I am.
I haven't been active on here in forever. Who's the mayor and so on now? Where are all the oldbies-- JIA, AE, Shadowfax, Amethystic, 31899, Top, and anyone else who's been around for a while?

The oldbies you mentioned... JIA hasn't posted in awhile, neither has Shadowfax. AE, Amy, 31899, and Top are still active. And WW and Monty are the admins right now.
