Just to be clear - you are betting a minimum 9 of the 16 will get re-elected. (10 or 12 or > will fulfill the requirement) I am bettering a minimum 9 of the 16 will not get re-elected, more will also fulfill the requirement.. The stakes are: The loser must use the avatar of the winners choice, for 30 days, starting at the begininng of the next month. The avatar of course, must meet the acceptability of DP and cannot be offensive or violate the DP rules. Otherwise... it's open. The disclaimer is, if any of those 16 retires, dies, get's incapacitated, or otherwise cannot run - they are excluded and the numbers will change, but you will still be required to have a majority. Appointments due to early retirements will not count as being "elected" in any case.
If you say YES to the terms, I will then be required to say YES to those terms, and the bet is on. It requires us both to agree, even though I'm suggesting those terms and the wager. If you agree - say YES.
