whats so bad about dolphins and manatees?
Nothing's bad at all when it comes to manatees, so it boils down to public embarrassment. I wasn't expecting too high a price there but I thought it'd be funny if someone randomly demanded a billion dollars for it.

Dolphins, on the other hand, have been known to get territorial sometimes. And I wasn't going to type 'pit of live Great White sharks' and expect many people to post anything other than 'no'.

I personally don't have a problem with either, but the sexual preference one might not be okay with the mods. I'd need to ask a mod about it. If the mod's fine with it, then I'm fine with it.

This too, but I think a Big Mac costs about $4, so that's more workable. But I need dollar amounts still! >_>

From this Don Rosa book I had:

So that. Or at least enough money to fill his bin, with a volume of 247,961,850,048,000 cubic feet. Around $27 trillion dollars, not counting his assets around the world.

Well I don't use AIM or anything so losing contact with B8 regulars would be no big deal, but my brother and best friend have each been here, like, once at my urging, although they left without reading or posting anything.

If they don't count, $5000. If they do, no deal.

Can't be sure that anyone I truly care about has never randomly stumbled upon this board--much less will never, ever stumble upon it. I think that's a satisfying amount of money for the risk.

I intended for the stipulations to be more about actually doing reading and posting, but I did use the word "visit." Given how people have voted based on that stipulation so far on that interpretation, I'm going to take that literally and count this as "no deal."

It's F-Zero. F-ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERO!
http://img.imgcake.com/RedShifter/falconpngyt.png

Eh, rejection, based on the fact that my best friend probably came onto this board once during the contest season as he sometimes browser gamefaqs. And even if he didn't: the chance of meeting cool real life people who once for 2 minutes browsed the board and never being able to talk to them would be annoying in several situations (co-workers, etc.). There's also always the chance that someone I like/love (besides that friend) somehow got on here, how slight it may be, and that isn't work the risk imo.

If I however had a (magical) list of people I wouldn't be able to talk to again in real life, things would be different. If I saw no one I knew on there then I would probably agree on any price someone propositioned me that would be somewhat substantial: anything over $500 or so. But I'd probably try to see how much I could get out of it. Hard to put a price on it myself, so I'll go with the $500 as long as the previous clause counts. If not: no.

Your standing by your "can't talk to any one who has ever visitted B8" rule?



So like, my best friend that I link especially funny topics to, I can't ever talk to him?


Like he has nothing to do with board 8, it's the same issue other people had with your rules. Completely defeats the point of the question.

You can ask for a list. Counting this as $500.

Your standing by your "can't talk to any one who has ever visitted B8" rule?

I am, but honestly, I don't really like it. It's just that it's too major to change at this point with the votes that already took place when I saw that it's too strong of a rule. However, I do plan to eventually rerun this question without it.

So like, my best friend that I link especially funny topics to, I can't ever talk to him?

Nope.

I would gladly take 90 whippings and be sentenced to 2 years in jail than have my account warned. - NotYou

Doesn't really make sense. This question at it's core should revolve around board 8 and what's come of it. So not being able to visit B8, or b8wiki or b8 chat or anything that has spawned from it makes perfect sense. Not being able to talk to any board 8ers as well, even board 8ers who have become actual friends, though that would make it more difficult.

But when it extends to people you knew from outside of board 8 beforehand, it should at most just say "you can't talk about board 8 with them." Restricting them entirely makes this not about board 8. I might consider how much I would take to just cut board 8 out of my life, but my best friend is a completely different matter. And it's the same for many people.

--

I'm not disagreeing with you. When I came up with the stipulations, that sort of thing honestly did not cross my mind. It was more about trying to prevent the loophole of asking someone to go on Board 8 and communicate by proxy. I've personally never invited anyone I know in real life to anything Board 8 related (except my Minecraft server), so that didn't really cross my mind. I admit that I didn't think this through completely and I made the rules too strong and strict. That's why I will run this again, but not immediately. Maybe in a month or so. A few weeks at the soonest.

Reject. I dont think I could actually do this.

Also, I did a similar topic series to this a while back. Ironically, this was also my first question for my series. Although, I didn't have this thing "you can't talk to anyone from b8 ever again" thing.

Here are 3 of the ones I really liked.

1. You are given an option to find out the exact moment you'll die. You can not alter this fate, nor can you tell anyone about this information.

2. You do 3 porn videos. 1 vanilla, 1 group, and 1 random. The random one can not be mutilation or beastiality, or anything illegal. However, other genres are fair game.

3. You can't eat processed, fast, or "instant" foods for a year.

Oh wait, if "posted here once seven years ago" counts, then waaaaaay higher. Too many close friends and even coworkers sometimes have done so.

I was thinking more "dont go to the boards, chat, wiki, or IM people I don't know outside of B8."

--

Zachorn, if you really want this to be accurate you'd best count my vote as a rejection, because as I said, my best friend did come here at least once, the rest was purely hypothetical.

--

http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/

is mine considered an outlier? >_>;

Yes. It's not decided by me, but it's Excel and statistics that decides it.

If you're familiar with statistics, I am using the quartiles and the interquartile range (IQR) to determine outliers. In other words, anything below Q1 - 1.5 * IQR and above Q3 + 1.5 * IQR is considered an outlier. For you, Q3 was $125,000, IQR was $124,955, so anything above $312,432.50 wasn't counted in the average without outliers. That can change with other votes, of course.

If you don't understand statistics, then it basically tries to count as many votes as possible, but ones that are too extreme are not counted in the average without outliers. The main reason why I did this is because I don't want to place limits on amounts you can vote for, but at the same time, amounts like $27 trillion completely break the average. All votes count for the simple average, min, max, and median.

Current statistics:
Min: -20
Max: 2.7E+13
Average: 1,500,000,595,084
Average without outliers: 27433.66667
Median: 10,250
Q1 87.5
Q2 10250
Q3 83750
IQR: 83662.5
