The First Presidential Debate - Bart Simpson vs Lisa Simpson - THUNDERDOME - General

[QUOTE=adamsz;51111044]How do toxx's work? I might be willing to make one by tonight, depending on the details.[/QUOTE] And remember, the mods keep a list of people who toxx, so they won't forget you if you do.

[QUOTE=adamsz;51111044]How do toxx's work? I might be willing to make one by tonight, depending on the details.[/QUOTE] Toxx's do not have to be for permabans - you can also bet on smaller, finite periods of time to be banned. Or, you can also treat it like a normal bet where you have to do something in real life and provide proof that you followed on your word. However, if you don't go through on what you promised you would do if X happened, then you basically get banned anyways. Most people just place bets that result in a ban if something doesn't happen because it's easier and more convient than finding something to do in real life if you win/lose a bet.

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;51111056]Toxx's do not have to be for permabans - you can also bet on smaller, finite periods of time to be banned.[/QUOTE] There is a minimum though, I can't remember what it was.

C-Span is the superior channel.

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;51111056]Toxx's do not have to be for permabans - you can also bet on smaller, finite periods of time to be banned.[/QUOTE] A classical Toxx clause is for a pemaban. Anything less is a travesty. There's no real risk if your account isn't on the line after all, right?

[QUOTE=thetropicana;51111064]C-Span is the superior channel.[/QUOTE] Are the debates on cspan or only on specific channels?

[QUOTE=thelurker1234;51111063]There is a minimum though, I can't remember what it was.[/QUOTE] Its gotta be something meaningful so you really need at least a month ban, and the thing you do can't just be like "I'll eat a whole pizza", it needs to be interesting, e.g. make a pizza in the shape of portal's ass. Tradition is a perma though! Be a man!

[QUOTE=hexpunK;51111073]A classical Toxx clause is for a pemaban. Anything less is a travesty. There's no real risk if your account isn't on the line after all, right?[/QUOTE] I agree that a Toxx for a short ban isn't any fun - I was just explaining that it technically isn't limited to permabans alone. You can also bet on something like a five month ban, a year ban, etc.

Edit: ninja'd

[QUOTE=adamsz;51111088]Such as?[/QUOTE] Just as with any bet, you wanna keep things interesting so it basically depends on context. You don't have to be extreme and take a permaban if you lose, but don't be a wimp and make the stakes super low either.

Why do I feel like this night will be filled with goofs and gaffs?

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;51111096]Why do I feel like this night will be filled with goofs and gaffs?[/QUOTE] That's the ethereal presence of meme magic in the air.

My toxx is based on Trump losing, I still am not 100% sure whether that was a good idea or not.

[QUOTE=adamsz;51111116]If I wanted to bet on the outcome of the presidential election for example, and I'm wrong, would embarrassing myself in public and posting it here work?[/QUOTE] You have to eat an entire american flag if you lose. At least 1 foot by 1 foot in size

[QUOTE=adamsz;51111116]If I wanted to bet on the outcome of the presidential election for example, and I'm wrong, would embarrassing myself in public and posting it here work?[/QUOTE] The terms to avoid the ban can be anything kind of strange, like eating your hair or embarrassing yourself in public, maybe by cutting off and eating your hair in public. Not sure what you mean by "posting it here." You just have to post "If X happens I will do Y." Or "If X happens I'll take Y ban."

[QUOTE=Blazyd;51111120]You have to eat an entire american flag if you lose. At least 1 foot by 1 foot in size[/QUOTE] So it has to be topically related?

[QUOTE=adamsz;51111116]If I wanted to bet on the outcome of the presidential election for example, and I'm wrong, would embarrassing myself in public and posting it here work, and/or should I also take a one month ban.[/QUOTE] Usually, if you lose the Toxx, you just do one or the other - you would take the ban if you did not first do something embarrassing after promising you would. Again, it's just like making a bet with your friends, expect that bans are an extra option for losing.

It can be whatever, but it is more amusing if the stakes are high and it does get bonus points if it's topical I guess. I think you are looking a bit much into it - it's like making a bet with your friends, but instead, you are doing it on a message board and taking a voluntary ban is one extra thing you can decide to take up if you don't win your bet. Since you are on the Internet, you have to provide proof you did something or face a ban as punishment.

I just found out there's no opening or closing statements? Kind of a bummer if wanted to close with some strong statement.

Maybe I'll just stick to the month long ban. Can I choose when it starts ,say, 11:59 pm November 10 to 11:59 pm December 10?

[QUOTE=Blazyd;51111195]I just found out there's no opening or closing statements? Kind of a bummer if wanted to close with some strong statement.[/QUOTE] Eh, open/close statements are always such fluff anyway, I'm glad they're not letting them kill time with another 5 minutes of "we have to be strong.. make america great again.. our economy is so important..".

are you guys ready for this? because i am most certainly not

The flipside: You have to do it in public and NEAR THE ROAD while recording it. bonus points to living in southern united states where this is considered to be extremely shameful.

[QUOTE=srobins;51111200] You're putting way too much effort into this toxx man.[/QUOTE] I suppose I am. Politics is serious business.

Starts in 40 minutes right?

Here at Discount Toxxes we offer a variety of toxx solutions to suit your every need. Can I interest sir in a month-long toxx? You look like a sophisticated man, how about the 'I'll chop my dick off and post pics' optional extra?

man, all i want is for /pol/ to post a bingo card. fuckers need to get their debate game on track.

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;51111224]Starts in 40 minutes right?[/QUOTE] Correct; it goes on for 90 minutes after that.

so i've got a bottle of whiskey, what drinking games can i play
