mods, please.
Yes, mods, please intervene if you feel necessary.
I feel I am morally, ethically, and rationally justified. I have absolutely no problem with having this thread locked/removed if they, too, believe I am only blowing smoke.
A good game is fair for all players. His rule created a statistical imbalance. To win this game, skill is involved to a certain degree; a date 1 year from now is obviously a lot more likely than a date 10,000 years from now, and is a more skillful guess. My skill was nullified as a factor the instant this rule was implemented for it prevented me from having the opportunity to change my answer to the winning answer.
My pms to both OldEngineer and Goat were civil. I obviously have no issue with Goat other than I think he is holding 5 of my BTC, but 2.5 would be acceptable to me, and that's because I feel that it would be generous of me to allow him to keep 2.5 BTC. I do not think he won, pure and simple. Similarly, I have no problems with oldengineer outside of this situation. I'm sure he's a good guy. I just think he should understand that I think he screwed me over on this one, even if he doesn't see it the same way.
You've got no skin in the game. Get the sand out of your gyne and go to bed.
