also lets see if Alpha, Wags, or conversion can sticky this thread.

Sounds good to me. I'll put it up.

But I've got a stipulation to suggest:
Should Team Lionbacker win, can we have a timeshare program for your signature. That is - I'll get it for awhile, then pass it on equally to all winning parties? If not, can I change your signature? If so, how many times? I'm fully willing to comply and let an equal number of members of the message board of your choice. For example, if we get 5 people to agree to the bet and lose, then you can share our signatures with 5 other Bears members or change our signatures 5 times within your winning tenure.

First off, Mr.Pickles is sure ONLY Mr.Pickles will be on team Pickles.

Second, Mr.Pickles thinks, that you get a line in the losers signature. for example:

mineral owns Mr.Pickles
conversion owns Mr.Pickles

Now if Mr.Pickles lost the bet, Mr.Pickles would put that in Mr.Pickles signature, or what ever you want, within reason. And it would stay for 12 months after the end of the season, kind of like bragging right for 2 years.

Unless you can think of something better?

As for the Bears board, if Mr.Pickles loses, Mr.Pickles will put what ever in Mr.Pickles signature. Mr.Pickles will not hold that to you all. The Bear board does not intrest Mr.Pickles.

nononono....
The winning party LITERALLY OWNS your signature and is free to put anything they want in it... That is, you agree to delete whatever is in your signature when you lose and add whatever the winner wants.
That's the bet.
What I'm wondering is how many times can we change it?

Now stipulations are done by July 3rd, but anyone can still enter until the start of training camp. Once traing camp starts, thats it, you are locked in.

Backing out, unless its is a real good, Mr.Pickles means real good reason, which has to agreed by all people involved, is the same as losing. But only the person backing out, loses the bet, not the whole team.

Unless you want a no back-out clause in the contract?

How about once every 4 months?

I'm not backing out and neither are you. I don't really care if anyone else backs out. So go with it.

Now again, you agree to delete your current signature and add whatever we want. How many times can we change it?

Every four months is fair. That way, we can ridicule each other according to current Bears/Lions events. Once for your/our draft, once for your/our preseason, once for your/our camp or once for your post-season.

I'm in for team Lionbacker.

Off the top of my head, this is a very feasible scenario:
Lions split with the Packers and Vikings, and win against Miami and San Francisco and we wouldn't have to win another game on the schedule in order for us to win.

That's for sure. Don't forget the Lions get to play the Packers and Vikes each TWICE! Add the Bills, Jets and Niners & you have a formula for 5 or more wins ...

I'm in for team Lionbacker!!!!

The only thing Mr.Pickles cannot figure out is the signature part.

Now, for example, say Mr.Pickles wins, thats easy.

But if Mr.Pickles loses, and say 12 people are on team lionbacker, how do you divi-up the signature?

Do all of you get together to decide what to put in their?

What if you each want the sig for yourself?

Does Mr.Pickles "time-share", the sig, for one member, if 12 are involved, that would mean they only get it for a month. Only to lose their sig to Mr.Pickles for a year.

Lets get this worked out.

Mr.Pickles does not see the Lions beeting the Vikings. Mr.Pickles can see the Lions spliting the Packers, and beating the Jets and Niners.

3 wins.

Personally it doesn't matter. I think that collectively we can come up with something.
