That's right*. And payout is always in internet points (INP), but we also accepts bets placed in some various other currencies, including but not limited to the Canadian Tire Dollars (CTD 1 = INP 44), Personal Favor Credits (PF¢ 1 = INP 651), Deer Bucks (DRB 1 = INP 846), Dihydrogen-Monoxide Moles (H2O mol 1 = 602214076E15 INP), soul fragments (FMS** 1 = INP 18,941), Clams (CLM 1 = INP 735), hours manual labor (HLM*** 1 = INP 7959), pounds dough (DGH £1 = INP 184808), or classified military secrets (CMS 1 = INP 30). If you would like to place bets in another currency not listed, feel free to ask---we might be able to come to an arrangement.
*While supplies last.
**Conversion rate of a freshly matured soul based on the Creative/Industrial Poll using last year's data. Your specific conversion rate may vary. (Hey, I don't make the numbers. Everyone knows a soul loses half it's value each time it meets someone new!)
***Official name Heures du Labeur Manuel.

I feel like there's some arbitrage to be had here. You can buy dihydrogen monoxide from Canadian Tire using Canadian Tire money, right?

@Gyrre That would be this comic, I assume?

--- Quote from: Gnabberwocky on 06 Aug 2020, 18:55 ---I'm open to betting on what happens next:
(click to show/hide)1. Elliot makes his escape; the resolution waits for another few weeks.
2. Elliot confesses to Clinton:
a. He says yes.
b. He says no.
4. Elliot tries to confess to Clinton, but is interrupted by the arrival of Brun:
a. He asks them both out at the same time:
i. She turns him down; Clinton says yes.
ii. She and Clinton both say yes.
iii. She says yes, Clinton says no.
iiii. Both say no.
b. He waits for Brun to leave before asking Clinton out:
i. Clinton says yes.
ii. Clinton says no.
c. Clinton backs out; Elliot asks Brun:
i. She says yes.
ii. She says no.
d. Elliot is overwhelmed and runs from both of them:
i. Clinton and Brun go their separate ways.
ii. Clinton/Brun asks the other out; the asked says yes.
iii. Clinton/Brun asks the other out; the asked says no.
5. Elliot, while attempting to escape asking out Clinton, runs into Brun and asks her out.
a. It goes without outside incident:
i. She says yes.
ii. She says no.
b. Clinton, having chased after Elliot, interrupts:
i. He gets mad at Elliot for walking out on him in order to ask out Brun.
ii. He supports Elliot, but shows no romantic interest.
iii. Elliot asks him out as well (see 4a for options).
6. Other (please explain).

Elliot's too polite to reject that strong disapproval of not keeping his commitment (love atthe first sight), so 1 and 5 are probably not. It's still morning, so why would Brun be even awake?---probably not 4. That would leave 2 or 6. Clinton doesn't seem very interested, but there may be something there, so 2 could be a tentative "will think about it" later going to yes, or a "not really interested" no.
Placing bets until UTC Sunday noon, I'll put the odds at 2:7 that Elliot manages to not ask Clinton out at all, 3:5 that Clinton gives a firm no in a few in-story days, 1:1 that Clinton gives a firm yes in a few in-story days (the first number is your bet, the second is my bet; you choose the stakes, but the odds stay the same). If Elliot escapes the situation, all bets are off. Payout when we know the results.

If I'm allowed to bet on my own survey, I'll put all seventeen of my spare INP on option 2b. I've also got a Clam stashed away, but that's for emergencies only.
Incidentally, what's the conversion rate on Sven Is Not A Mooch (SiNaM)?

That's the one!
Now I can use the substrate as a desktop again.

There's something wrong with that... can't quite put my finger on it, though :roll:

I knew a Manuel Labor once, years ago.
I could watch him work all day...
