First, allow me to direct you attention to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=53888.0
According to the OP in this thread, a bet was set where OldEngineer would pay 5BTC to the person who correctly guessed the date that BTC would cross the $4 threshold. In the event of a tie, the prize would go to the first guesser.
On Dec. 6th US central time, I guessed that the price would cross $4 on Dec. 19th. This is exactly what happened. It crossed $4 sometime around 10pm US central time on Dec. 19.
But, apparently, OldEngineer claims that Goat won. Goat guessed Dec. 20th and was also correct since he was guessing according to Thai Time. OldEngineer claims Goat won because a post on Dec. 7th made the clarification that GMT would be the deciding time.
But, this post, which clarified that GMT would be the deciding time, was made AFTER I cast my guess. Why the hell should I, a person who uses US central time, make a guess based upon GMT?
OldEngineer, please send me BTC as, per the rules of your OP, I am clearly the winner. It is not fair to go by some rule that was just "created" in the middle of the game when my guess was not cast according to those rules.
Edit: I really would not like to make this a big deal if I don't have to. Please fulfill your end of the agreement and there will be no problems.

IIRC, weren't you the guy also siding with the thief who accidentally got sent Bitcoin by mistake by Phantomcircuit who works for Intersango?
I don't even know what IIRC is.
Edit: I do remember what you're talking about, I think. I recall some matter where some exchange mistakenly sent some guy a bunch of BTC who didn't want to return it. I think I remember questioning the legality of the exchange's complaint when they were talking about coming after the guy legally.
