If that was the nature of the forfeit, yes. The occasional gamble kills no-one  Unless you gamble with your life of course.......Or you throw a pair of dice and they bounce back, hit you in the eye and kill you..... But anyway, this kind of forfeit wouldn't kill you. I'd do it. Of course, if I didn't know what the forfeit was before I took part, I wouldn't go for it. I'm not doing any "Run naked through the streets of your city then post a picture on the website" forfeits!!! But I'm not going to be logging into SC for the next week  because I'm on holiday Of course, I never log out of SC, so I could keep coming without breaking teh rules of teh forfeit! |

It would take me two days to decide whether or not to answer the survey and if I decided to do it then I would go along with the forfeit and leave a note in forum expressing my sadness. Then I think I would go out of my mind. No SC!  Eeeeek! |

where are you going? |
| Biggles | | (reply to Dino) posted 5-Jul-2002 8:42am |
Exmoor or Dartmoor. I keep forgetting to ask which. I was otherwise occupied when she booked it! It's in Devon I think.........Some cottage but not the one that I picked out (I wanted to go to an old spring water bottling cottage but my mum chose somewhere else). I haven't been on holiday for years! |

I wouldn't bother to participate. What's the upside? If you're asking me to take a risk you ought to at least offer me something. |

Of course, I don't want to be a cheater.  |

if i chose to answer, i would go along with it! |

I would probably have abstained from the survey. |

I shall be heading down south (well further down south then what I am now) at the end of July. Going to Exeter for a swimming holiday. I'm finally after all these years going to learn how to swim. |

Sure. A dare is a dare |

Hooray! That's a good thing |

Homey don't play that! |

Why should I risk forfeiting something when there's nothing to gain? If the survey said I'd get something good for picking the right number then I might take my chances. |
| SueBee | | (reply to Biggles) posted 5-Jul-2002 2:43pm |
Yay! You deserve a holiday! I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing week! |
| Zang |
I'd abstain. |
| Biggles | | (reply to SueBee) posted 5-Jul-2002 5:44pm |
What part of *family* holiday don't you understand?!  |
| juliw |
I don't get it. I log on to SC every week, anyway, so it's no forfeit. In fact, I come to SC almost every day. |
| Dino | | (reply to juliw) posted 5-Jul-2002 7:30pm |
But the forfeit is - would you accept a one week ban. |
| juliw | | (reply to Dino) posted 5-Jul-2002 7:48pm |
I wouldn't like it, but I guess one week wouldn't be that bad. |
| cuteasabutton | | posted 6-Jul-2002 12:42am |
I would pay- unless everyone begged me not to |
| Amanda |
I would pay up.

| freebird_old |
I think I would skip that survey. If I had to abstain from SC for a week what would I do while I was up all night? |

Hello you! (for when you come back) Hope you had a nice time!
I went to a book shop today to buy the new Janet Evanovich book but they only had it in hard back and I'm too tight-fisted to fork out for hard-backs. I'll wait for it to come out in paperback.
Must go and find a book now before my holiday on the 27th. |

I would abstain from the survey, like I said in Qual-Land.
I would need more of an incentive to take the chance than, say the offered...nothing. |

Dino! Why would anyone do this without the reward? You mystefy me. Oh, by the way, you dropped this back there a ways:  Haha |

What do I gain by voting on this Survey... Why would I risk loss for no gain? |
| natsim |
It would be good for me to have to take a break... |
| Dino | | (reply to NthenSome) posted 8-Jul-2002 4:25am |
I was wondering if you'd pick that up!  |
| grmbrand |
I would abstain; I'm an SC subscriber because I like coming here. |
| NthenSome | | (reply to Dino) posted 8-Jul-2002 4:14pm |
I was ok with bringing it to you. I had a clothespin available for the trip. (Pew!) |
| southernyankee | | posted 13-Jul-2002 12:42pm |
I'd refuse to pay it, since what do I get for taking the chance: nothing.
And how would anyone know anyway............ |
| Biggles | | (reply to Dino) posted 13-Jul-2002 2:39pm |
We bought it, took it on holiday, but I didn't read it! I've been reading a book from my university reading list and then there was "Memoirs of a Geisha" at the cottage and I've been wanting to read that for ages, so Stephanie went out of the window! I'll read it soon |
| Oscar | | posted 17-Jul-2002 9:24pm |
maybe not, but probably. who'd know anyway? |
| Dino | | (reply to Biggles) posted 22-Jul-2002 10:15am |
Yeah, I bought 'Hard Eight' this weekend. I was gonna hold off for the paperback version but Borders were having a sale - £9.99 and I was getting desparate for reading ideas for my holiday this Saturday. I'm still ploughing my way through Lord of The Rings and I didn't fancy taking that on holiday. I am so looking forward to starting it. I hope its not a let down - you know how you build yourself up for something and expect too much. Have you read your one yet? |
| Biggles | | (reply to Dino) posted 22-Jul-2002 12:06pm |
Not yet! Believe it or not, I've been reading a series of essays about biology by Stephen J Gould..........They're on my university reading list so I thought I'd get started Then I got distracted when the holiday cottage we went to had Memoirs of a Geisha which I've been wanting to read for ages......Hard Eight's on my list though - I'll get to it eventually! |
