i know, glad im not the only one being scammed by you.

All i know is that the developers agree that you lost the bet on multiple post and in PMs.

from losing this bet by not playing 2 chars at the same time?

its sad we have to repeat your loss over and over..

Guess we can end the thread here. Heffernan not only will not honor the bet and use sockpuppets to back himself up. He will also try to weasel himself in an arrogant way out by trying to prove he meant something different.

since noone cared to make rules on what "being logged in" means i took the general rules of common sense "both playing at the same time" you indeed did not and lost.

so now its "playing both on the same time"
while in the beginning it was simply "being on logon screen with a character logged in"
how will it evolve further I wonder?

Since you are dealing with heff, a person with a mental disorder(offically), then the story will def change a few more time.

yes a character logged in playing ofcourse, i can aswell carry stuff, be in combat or stock myself and have 10 characters logged in on one account thats no challenge, the challenge was on the character screen whilst playing 1 character actively.

Many, many times in the forums and the patch notes, we've referred to being 'logged on' as having a character in the game, whether or not you are controlling it. For example, "Your character will stay logged on if you leave the game without a Homestead". Perhaps that isn't the exactly correct technical term, but who cares? So long as everyone understands what is meant.

The situation being talked about just before this bet was made was players going mad because they 'logged out', but their characters stayed 'logged in' for several more hours, leaving them to become mad. That was understood by all involved in the bet. Heffernan was trying to claim that it was impossible for his character to be in the game, becoming more insane and gaining madness levels, if he was on the character selection screen for that account. Dallane's counterargument was that it was entirely possible, and it was Heffernan who offered the bet on those terms. He was absolutely proven wrong. It is 100% possible to improperly log out or otherwise leave the game in such a way that you can be on your character selection screen while you still have a character, or even several, from that account, sitting around in the game gaining insanity. Therefore, Dallane wins.

Any arguments about the exact legal definition of 'Logged In', or whether or not Dallane had the money to put up (seriously?), are completely spurious. The only question left isn't whether or not Heffernan lost, it's whether or not he'll pay up the bet that he lost.
