[EDIT: Fine... *storms out of the room*]

Fine... *walks off*

Only a thousand for 10 arguments?  You're clearly making use of me.  My arguments are worth at LEAST a ten thousand each. People could take my arguments and build political careers on them.  Do you have such lack of confidence you are right, Einstein?  Really, one thousand an argument is a steal, AND barely any measure at all in your confidence in the strength of your positions. So how confident are you really, Einstein?  What's it going to be.  Just $1000 / argument, then?

I also call upon the community to shun him unless they see a real effort by him in the next 6 days to acknowledge anyones arguments.

We all know he is not.

So we should show him how unacceptable his actions are in an effort to reform him.

Well then cease replying to him. Let him have posts with no one posting in the thread. He will then disappear into the ether

It is agreed, then.  Einstein will give me $1000 for each argument that I win.  Einstein, send $1000 dollars to Zarf to hold - funds which he will forward onto me in the (certain) event I successfully win an argument against any of your claims.  The decision as to the winner or loser will rest with the IC community. A majority decision of a panel of 7 judges will declare whether or not I have in fact won an argument against any of your claims.  We shall nominate 7 judges, and a majority decision by the group of judges will determine the winner.  You and I will nominate judges in turn.  The first judge I nominate is Simon.

Which judge do you want to nominate?

The debate will begin when Zarf confirms he is in possession of at LEAST $1000 of your dollars.

No real money exchanges are allowed. If you want to support the game with VIP donations then that is a different story.

$1000/$10=100 VIPs.  At 90 days each, that's a 9000 day VIP.  That's about 24 and 2/3 years of premium status. 

That's a lot of yamas! 

For the record, if this happens, we might want to see if a rule can be established for these VIPs that they cannot be transferred to any IC member who was also a judge in this competition.  Otherwise, it's possible that one competitor could bribe one or more judges into deciding in their favor.  Not saying either party would do this, but this sounds like one of those instances where it's better to remove temptation.

EDIT: And for the record...

He's obviously asleep, xeno... give him time to wake up, grab his walking cane and put his dentures in. 

EDIT: Actually, considering Flint is only going to buy $1,000 in VIPs if you win (since he doesn't play, he has no use for 100 VIPs), you would need to have a mod get account info to make a transfer, but not actually conduct the transfer.

Just throwing out that little note. 

make me a judge

I am to be the only judge. You win and I must rethink my whole life, I win you must rethink your whole life. Kinda deep huh?
