This site was relatively new when the wager was made. But Searles new Vegas went back years on these forums, while Vegas seen Searles as just a cocky noob.
So why on earth was escrow not insisted upon for a wage as large as $500 when one party was basically just a random at the time?
But guess the reasoning for that must've already been answered..
btw the $500 is still a debt, but voted no restrictions as he was brought back in without restrictions. And that should still stand.
