The Exposition
As most of you obviously know we have started an Asylum guild in World of Warcraft. So far it's a blast with Smoggy, Nexa, Moe, Nadenu , Nades husband, Nexas husband, Jacobsdeception, Neph, Neph's Brother, and the occassional appearance of Totem and Trickybeck as well as many others. Good times and very easy going.
So I log on last night to my Dwarf Hunter. I start chatting with the guild as I gather my quests and make sure my ammo pouch is fully loaded.
The Bet
As myself, Moe, JD and Neph are chatting who logs on but Nadenus Husband. He has a screen name but for the purposes of ease I just call him Yeti cause the guy has more hair than an abominable snowman. So I inquire if he and Nade are enjoying the game and if they plan on staying past the 10 day free trial (thats right free, you should check it out and play with us). We banter back and forth and I speak my disdain for his harlot wife. The man takes the jokes and rolls with them like a pro.
All of a sudden I get a whisper. It is Neph, the guy plays a hawt Female Night Elf (but that is a story for another time). Neph puts for this very simple proposition.
"If you troll him into threatening to kill you then 1g is yours,"
An interesting bet and a hefty sum of cash at our level. I reply that it is on.
The Set Up
My very next move is to send a private tell to the Yeti. I explain the bet, ask him to be the patsy and promise to cut him 50% of the take. He agrees.
We play it slow, the Yeti is a true master. We build up from the playful jabs into more dangerous and hurtful territory. All the while Neph is measuring my progress to me via private whispers. Finally we get to a head and Nades husband says "ENOUGH", Neph is slavering over the bet, all wet in his NE panties, can I get a death threat?
I throw out a vitriolic statement that I can say. True to his part the Yeti plays it like a thespian and threatens my death in the most violent of ways. His death threat is followed in guild chat by Neph saying on simple word.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
A Man of His Word
Me and the Yeti play it out a little longer then let it die, we play it so well that even Moe shows some concern (he is a softy, he really is). Once it is done, I send a tell letting Neph know he can pay up whenever. Neph claims not to have the money, but when pressed and called a welcher he promises to make good and sends 50silver (half a gold) and promises the other soon. He then praises my ability to troll and bows before me.
Not long after get my level, grab the 50s out of the mail box and logout. All in a nights work for bodhisattva.
