    I will pay anyone who has 1000 or more posts - 50 euro (limited to the first 15) takers.

    How it works is you reply to this thread saying 'Accepted' or some such affirmation. Then all you have to do is not post on boards.ie or one year. I've set an Outlook reminder to myself, in one year, I'll PM the first 15 people, and we can arrange payment (I can do PayPal, cash if you are near Dublin, or whatever else is easy, so long as there aren't a lot of fees or hassle. I'm a BOI customer if transfers are easy).

    The thing is, if you accept, and you DO come back - you are honor-bound to pay me 25 euro.

    15 or 25 people? And do we only have to repay you €25 if we go back? Win-win

    You don't even have a driveway so I doubt you have 50 euro to hand out to 15 people.

    Maybe 1000 is too much? If you want to participate, I think 100+ is good enough.

    Sorry - I did the math and realized I'm too poor for 25. 15 people.

    But yes, you only repay if you come back before one year. After one year - you are free.

    I suspect lots of people will say yes- but in 2-3 months be posting. In a year I'll send them a PM and they'll go 'LOL - no money for you.'

    I don't think we're honour-bound if OP spells 'honour' the American way.

    A new account would be cheating. I mean, I don't have any way of verifying (mods could check IPs, but I wouldn't want to bother them with this trivial stuff)

    But you'd feel guilty....if you cheated. And that'd haunt you for the rest of your life.

    I'd be willing to do an Escrow - but only if all the participants do. But if there are fees for the escrow I think it should be shared.

    I've got access to proxies and VPNs but, honestly, it is a bit of a hassle. For a week? Or a month? Sure - I'd keep it up.

    But 6 months from now? I don't think anyone would really go through the effort.

    Honestly? The best (and only) thing to do is ignore the thread. No posts and it would quickly fall off the first page and would die off.

    You don't even have a driveway so I doubt you have 50 euro to hand out to 15 people.

    I don't have a driveway nor a car; but that just means I have MORE money to give away.

    The thing is, I don't think more than 3-4 people will agree and of those, I think that 0 will pull it off.

    If you want something done right; you have to do it yourself.....

    Accepted

    I'll be back Nov 1st, 2014. Anyone who signs-up before Nov. 1st (IE - until Thursday night) is in (so long as you are one of the remaining 13 spots).

    I'll bump the thread to congratulate the winners and send PMs (so you need to come back in a year). I'll try to be fair and reasonable....as long as you respond before....the end of March....(and you haven't posted/visited/created a new account (HONOUR!!!!)) I will send you 50 euro.

    So we have:

    Jamez735 (Already lost)
    Valentina (a Member since 2002!!!! I think we have a serious contender here)
    UCDVet

    That leaves 12 more spots....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL


    So if I accept the challenge now I have to wait a year to post again?

    Hmmmmm

    If you stay off boards for a year you pay yourself €50.
    If you post before a year is up you pay yourself €25.

    You probably think this is a sure fire get rich quick scheme but there is a little flaw in your logic. :D

    No scam, he just wanted to see how many fell for it and who will actually stop posting, thinking they'll be getting paid, hence the 'I'll pay you in March' part.

    Am I right, UCDVet? Answer me you bollix

    Offer it to one person for €750.
    And they'd still only have to pay you €25.
