Dochartaigh Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 [quote name='TehChron' timestamp='1317954285' post='2819224'] I was under the impression it was going off of when they began their military buildup, to be honest, since that's a more accurate assessment of cumulative strength lost via the conflict. And...Im pretty sure the NSO declared their first rounds that same day, so itll be the day of the end of the same round of wars with Tetris. [/quote] Okay, I was just trying to make sure I had a clear set of parameters before I ventured a wager or took you up on yours. Also, I did forget when NSO went in because I somehow managed to forget that Legion declared 6 hours prior to update. I will have to think this one over because, most likely Legion will lose 500k NS prior to the end of rounds, since they only need to lose another 237k at this point, unless more nations join Legion as that Sabcat(?) fellow did. If I were you, I would put a time limit on accepting your bet though as you do not want people to wait until the last minute to take you up on your bet in case others do join Legion.

Also, IAA/BTA have barely managed to declare any offensive wars themselves so they won't even absorb damage that way. So basically I need to see if most of Legion will be bill locked by tomorrow.

jerdge Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I don't like the name "Incompetence Extravaganza" because it hasn't any relation with anything specific about this war. I'd like to bet 100 tech that no one of the current combatants (IIRC: The Legion, Tetris, NSO, NsO, IAA, BTA e OP) will have to pay any tech/monetary reparation to any of the other, because of this war. Payments (one way or the other) will have to be compliant with any and every restriction due to the GPA laws on Foreign Aid. Betting on this would close on 10/10 [i](date subject to be adjusted before the bet becomes "official": see below)[/i]. I am not sure how you intend this to function, TehChron: do you give me the odds and I then decide if I follow through, or do I state the odds and whoever wants just takes the bet with me? I am also unfamiliar with the odds we're using. If it's set to 2:1, does it mean I am staking 100 for a return of 200, or is it 100 for a return of 50?

King William IV Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 [quote name='TehChron' timestamp='1317945558' post='2819026'] 100 tech on the Legion losing over 500k NS before the end of this round. [/quote] That's a pretty safe bet you are making, considering all 101 of the Legions MP nations will lose 2040 ns just by launching 1 nuke daily for the course of the first round making for a 206k ns loss, not including nations who have HNMS as well as SDI blocks. So basically I am calling that !@#$%^&* bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'll bet 50 tech on Tetris losing a higher percentage of their total NS compared to The Legion throughout this war, from beginning to end. I'm also willing to bet 50 tech in NSO losing a higher percentage of their total NS compared to Legion throughout this war, from beginning to end. So that's 2 separate bets I'm willing to do that people can take me up on. The numbers I'll base the starting NS on for each alliance would be, NSO had 2.785 Million NS (entered Oct 4th) at the start of their participation in the war, Legion had 6.115 Million NS (entered Oct 3rd), Tetris had 1.06 Million NS (started Oct 3rd for them).

Sephiroth Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I was going to post this in the other thread, but figured here would be more appropriate. [quote name='Dilber' timestamp='1318077652' post='2820755'] They've lost 217k since update, and over 1 point in score since Gopher updated. They've fallen off at a faster clip then they were previously, and it seems to be a free fall already(in week 1). It's too soon to say that one side is "winning", but stuff like that doesn't help their case when they claim to be winning. [/quote] I know you guys aren't surrendering, but you should take me up on my bet on who will lose more NS percentage-wise between you guys and Legion, as I think the odds are percentage wise NSO will lose more NS than Legion (although I realize it could go either way, which is what makes a bet interesting). I'm sure you guys will hold out well regardless of damage, but it would be fun to bet on who's total NS goes down more percentage-wise regardless of who wins. I'll bet you 100 tech NSO loses a higher percentage of their beginning NS than Legion and will have no problem paying you if I lose, as I'm sure you would rather bet on yourself if you're going to do it. If your side does make Legion lose a higher percentage of their starting NS than you guys I'll gladly pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
