A Bet with Nate

I shall use this image as a header for all future articles

So, as you can guess from the title, I’m taking the chance before MYM12 starts to offer up my own Junahu-style blockbuster bet, open to any MYMer who wants to get in on the action. Simply state your intent to join in right here in the comments section of this very article before the beginning of our twelfth contest, and you’re in.

So what’s the deal with this bet? It’s pretty simple. Anyone who joins must participate in the weekly MYmini contest every single week in MYM12. But because I’m feeling especially generous, I’ll allow participants to skip as many as four weeks, to account for the hustle and bustle of reality and similar foolish things that interfere with MYM. So in a three month contest that’s about eight minis, which is hardly a taxing burden at all.

Anyone who joins the bet but fails to follow through with the minis will have to make a moveset for a character of my choosing (though I’m willing to be flexible – if you have a serious problem with the character I give you, such as that character being offensive to your religion, sexuality, or mother, I will be willing to provide a different one) during MYM13. If you write all your minis like the honorable people we all strive to be, then I will have to write a moveset of your choosing during MYM13. Junahu only accepts one moveset for every three people he bets with? Phooey. I’ll take on an individual moveset for each and every person who fulfills the terms of the bet, in exchange for a smidgen of work. And yes, this is on an individual basis – if Phil writes all his promised minis but Billy Bob doesn’t, then I write a moveset for Phil, but Billy Bob has to write one for me.

Just be aware that anyone who half-asses their minis is unlikely to get more than a half-assed moveset in return.
