Wanna bet?
« on: Wed, 19 June 2013, 09:44:39 »
So, in irc I came up with an idea. Betting novelty keycaps (and similar items) on keyboard related events.

For example-

[quote user="dude1"]
I'll bet a cap that hhkb3 comes out this year and only comes in blue[/quote]

[quote user="dude2"]
You're on, what do you say any cap from my collection against any of yours?
[/quote]

Of course all terms of the bet are decided by the people involved.

Now get gamblin!

caps would both have to be shipped to a third party for keeping, until the event is settled.

no this is a gambling thread.. w/ keycaps..

I volunteer to hold onto the caps for you guys...  Since you all know I don't give a c*** about custom keycaps.. I am 100% un-tempted to steal them or keep them for myself.

I take your Ergo Dox and raise you a Korean custom!


But in serious-ness, I don't think a 3rd party is needed. If they don't honour their bet no one will be with them again.
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)
