you can use the ones I had for MorKnolle and HJam72 if you want to. They are:

MorKnolle----->Mork from Ork

&

HJam72------->ToeJam72

I wanted to keep a little of their original names so people would know who they are.
 
Hmm... reading this over again I finally understand what I was in for when I voted, haha. I clicked on the thread to see just what the hell a "moniker" was (I agologize that I am not a forum fanatic, and am not aware of all the terminology). The poll popped up, and I voted, since it was a no-brainer decision. Then, once I had read the rules, I didn't feel much different, only that maybe I had unconsciously signed up for something....

So I just wanted to say that I really like my name, and I don't really want it changed... so maybe if you would consider letting me change the caption under my name to something like "I got owned by hottoddie" instead of changing my name. I think I would stop posting on here if that happened... it's that important to me. Mathis is the da bomb diggity, yo!

You could always put "formerly known as TexansLucky13" or something like it in the caption under your new name.

I guess... I might take that into consideration. But I want to know two things before I would take that option.

1) What hottoddie will post in response to my question.

2) What my new moniker would be, if it is to be changed.

If I find it amusing I may let ya'll change it and do the caption thing. But if you choose something utterly retarded like you did for my dad, I may just make a new account and give myself equal rep points (I wouldn't cheat the system, only make it right.) I spend too much time on here to be posting under a name that I don't like, and life is too short to deal with that sort of stuff.

You're not one of the original 25 posters that cast their vote before the announcement. Unless you've changed your original moniker, you can't change any names. If so, what was your former name?

Let me aswer your question with a question, what if you had won, would you have allowed me to walk away from the bet without fullfilling my end of the bargain? Would you accept my explaination that I didn't bother to read the rules to what I was jumping into? I sure hope that those of you that are pleading this as your defense don't take this same stance with your business dealings in the real world. I believe that any one of you would've happily changed my moniker, if you had been on the winning side. A bet is a bet.

So typical. Do what you want... I sleep at night knowing two things.

1) Reggie Bush will not be as much as a bust as you had hoped, but it will not matter to the Texans anyways, since we will only have to face him once every four years and at the SB.

2) Your beloved VY will not be as godlike as you dream. He might turnout well if McNair is in Tennessee... but I guess he will just be another victim of the unfortunate nature of the game.

If I had won, I would not care one way or the other. I, personally, would be rational.... but I never expected you to be.

Here's mines

Barzilla - Ausmus-zilla
Honeymoonisover - Weddingnight
TexansLucky13 - TexansLucky#13
MorKnolle - MorK the Prophet
jaayteetx - Jarheads 4 Reggie
 
I didn't vote either way, because I didn't know what a moniker was until this morning. However, I would like to know how long the names will be changed and if it will effect their status. It's going to be difficult knowing who's opinion I value. If someone like Beerlover, Vinny, DoubleBarrel, AJ, Morkenel, Coach C. post...I will read it because I respect their opinion.
 
Ok here is my 5:
4th&inches= 4inches proud
Hook em horns = Bud hater
Mario Williams = I voted for Bush
Granpa = Yes I am Old
Powerful Dragon = H. R. Pufnstuf

Guys, remember to keep it clean & tasteful.

axman40,

Unless I'm misinterpreting what you mean by 4th&inches new moniker, would you mind coming up with something a little different please?

You can see the one's that have already been chosen on page 8, post# 146.

I'm thinking about starting another thread & posting the list as it's filled in that thread. This one is starting to get too long.

You should have put your conditions in the poll itself (or at least a reference to the bet), instead of just your post. You poll simply stated "Will Reggie Bush be on the opening roster next year? Yes No", but does not indicate a wager of any sort.

I come into many threads via the "« Previous Thread | Next Thread »" feature (since I'm trying to read as many as possible as a mod), so I see polls before the text itself.

Which is why I put my disclaimer mere moments after the poll, due to reading your conditions in the post itself.

If I had made a bet in good faith, I'd honor it. But I've never been a gambling man, and I wasn't going to start with your challenge.

If you can get out of a signed contract for a new car within 72 hours, I'd hope that a mistake that was corrected in seconds would receive the same understanding. :)

always read fine print before signing...or in this case, voting...
 
hey, double barrell, we screwed up. i did the same thing. honestly, I think I just voted on the poll and didnt really read it as I just read it now and I can't remember ever reading anything about this lol. im sure they won't screw us over that bad :)
 
hey.... does this change their log in and everything, or just their displayed name??

There are some sights, like musicplayer.com forums, that you can sign in with your account name, but displays whatever....

& then, how permanent is this?? 1 year?? till next draft?? or 1 year from today??

Um....I voted on a poll...one of many going around before the draft.

The POLL doesn't list any such bet.

I have yet to welch on a bet in my life, but this is kinda ridiculous. I read (as evidently others did as well) the poll as an indicator at the top of the thread as to what percentage of people were 'resigned' to the Bush pick.

The poll does NOT say - I wager my moniker vs. yours that Bush will be on the roster. The first POST indicates that information, and if I'd wanted to make THAT bet, I'd have responded in the thread.

Perfectly stated. I have the same testimony. Luckily, Senor Stan was kind enough to change mine only slightly, so I am not as upset. But this bet should be declared void.

hey people thought i'd try an promote the state of origin series to you guys (i don't know how to start a new thread)

state of origin rugby league is a devastating sport, a sport of warriors, fun to watch and i recommend it to all - just something to watch while we wait for the season to start, its coming up in a few days. i don't know how you people rout there in the states could view - maybe cable,but just watch it theres going to be loads of hits and concussions and if you're lucky - fights.

if you don't know much about the sport just click on the link below to have a fair idea

It does say that in the thread title though. That's why I think they're saying that we should've known or something. The title of the poll should have been: Will Reggie Bush be on the opening roster next year? (You lose the poll-you lose your moniker). And why don't you guys just call it a screenname, nobody knows what the heck a moniker is.
 
I think this is ridiculous. These people that are complaining would have been laughing their ass off and fighting over whose name they got to change if they had won, but since they chose wrong, they are complaining and saying they didn't know it was a bet. How could you not know? It is in the thread title. If you didn't know what a moniker was, why didn't you ask before voting?

Hey, if my moniker changes, that doesn't mean I'm switching teams. I will figure something out and I'll probably be like JAXwithanX trying to explain I'm not a Jaguars fan. :superman:

For all the disputes I have with you, i actually admire this post. Especially considering one of the people to get changed is you, its refreshing to see somebody from that side of the bet step forward. my hat is off to you

I'm not complaining. Just stating fact. 99.9% of polls do NOT have wagers attached to them.

As a mod, I read literally hundreds of threads, and quickness is the key. I came into the thread through a "back door" (ie. "« Previous Thread | Next Thread »" feature), and the poll was at the top - above the actual post mentioning a wager.

Not realizing that a poll was attached to a bet, I voted, then read the first post. I quickly realized my MISTAKE, and posted accordingly. IF the poll itself had mentioned a wager, I would have abstained from voting.

I could care less who won/lost, and if Bush was on our roster, I wouldn't be one of the ones deciding who's name to change. I removed myself from the bet just seconds after mistaking it for one of the grillions of polls that were being posted before the draft. (I was a trade down pov anyway, so Bush was never someone that I really cared about either way.)

It's an honest mistake, and my first post indicates the realization of this mistake. I don't think people should be penalized for mistakes around here, considering how many folks get second (and third and fourth) chances after being banned by Vinny. People make mistakes, and I fessed up and thought I had rectified it accordingly.

For the record, I would/will NEVER take part in a bet involving my moniker, avatar, sig, or any other part of my identity. I'm just not into gambling and find nothing enjoyable about it.

You did rescind literally right after you voted....i dont think yours should get changed personally. As for the people trying to back out now...i say tough luck. You would have been all over me if you had won.
