[hectorse]

So for 2 pops of 7 bucks payments we will get

2xPHB
DMG and
MM

Everything included, how nice is that?

I am ever so excited

I'm not sure I get what you're saying. Are you just saying that your group is buying the books, or am I missing something?

 

[SSquirrel]

yes they're all chipping in $14 and getting a communal set of 4 books

I'm buying all my Players their copies based on a bet I made in 2006.

"If 4th Edition releases before GenCon 08, I'll buy everyone PHBs."

So, 7 PHBs and a Core Rules Set later, my group will have their books.

Ooh. Bad luck there.

That's why I recommend being generic when it comes to bets. If you had said "summer of 08" instead, perhaps your group would be buying your books rather than vice versa.

Ouch. I hope they buy you dinner or something in return! Kudos for keeping your word, though!

Just out of morbid curiosity, what would you have gotten had you won the bet?

Nothing. I was that (foolishly) confident in my prognostication abilities. Oh well. Two of them already said that I don't have to go through with it, but I'm a man of my word; often to a fault.

He would still be buying, the books are being released in spring.

Oops. Without stakes on both sides, not strictly a bet. I believe the design team might call this an exception-based shooting off of the mouth.
