Of course if you didn't fulfill your end of the bargain it would be a ban

I already have like two toxxes (or perma-toxxes?) from people who say that hilldog will not run again. I am open to counter-toxxes

I think the minimum "punishment" would be like a 1 day probe or something. I might ramp it up, it's only a probation

The main problem is that if one of the punishments was "buy somebody an avatar", then who would get the avatar? Or is it scaled by odds, so if I bet that Chris Christie will become GodEmperor and a bunch of people say "lol what", can they bet against me while I bet against them? There was a dude in another subforum that won a ton of steam games from a similar scenario.

I'm probably making it more complicated than it should be

Risking an avatar to win an avatar sounds fair. If you have more people who have to pay out than people winning you can always trade some of the extra avatar money for ACLU/RAINN donations.

Maybe make it like a lottery? pick random winners from people who made the right bet based on how many losers you have. A real Toxx doesn't have a winner reward anyways, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Alas, I couldn't join the Bernie Forces because of my flat feet and full head of hair.

Did anyone link this yet? 2020 race lures sprawling Democratic field

To wit:

quote:


...

At least a dozen senators are widely thought to be in the mix — including Vermont’s Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts’ Elizabeth Warren, New Jersey’s Cory Booker, California’s Kamala Harris, Ohio’s Sherrod Brown, Oregon’s Jeff Merkley, New York’s Kirsten Gillibrand, Connecticut’s Chris Murphy, and both Minnesotans, Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken.

...

A handful of the party’s top contenders will be showcased at this week’s National Governors Association conference in Washington. New York’s Andrew Cuomo is high on the list of expected candidates, Washington’s Jay Inslee has caught operatives’ attention with his strident anti-Trump proclamations in recent months, and both Montana's Steve Bullock and Virginia’s Terry McAuliffe are also surfacing on long-lists. Colorado’s John Hickenlooper pointedly refused to rule out a run just this week, telling CNN, “There’s going to be a lot of things on the table.”

...

...Martin O’Malley...

...

The expansive list also takes into account the growing number of wealthy party donors and activists who are considering whether Trump’s victory is evidence that prior political experience is no longer necessary for a viable presidential bid. That slate includes environmentalist hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer — long expected to mount a gubernatorial bid in California next year — and billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who has also refused to shy away from the speculation.

...

Of that list of mostly bullshit base speculation, I'd want Franken, Sherrod Brown, maybe Harris.

We don't rant at "international elites," that sounds like right-wing anti-semitism. Pretty sure the Kochs are domestic home grown Catholics. Multinational corporation is not a coded word for Jews. People rarely actually talk about Adelson even though he sucks. etc. False equivalence

It's very simple, we don't mean "the Jews" when we speak and the right does. Many of them will even tell you so

Well you have all the standard bad dem tactics of using off the record comments or someone in the past said they saw Ellison building hamas rockets.
