As some of you may know, I run a forum for alumni of the
PHC Teencamps. There is a very fun game we play there: Forum mafia. It's got rules and all, and of course, it takes much longer than a regular mafia game.
In the current round, my veracity has been questioned. I'm stating here to all the world that if I am indeed a member of the mafia (and not a police officer), I will give each person who votes to kill my opponent a $25 Amazon.com gift certificate (or alternatively cash). In addition, if the doctor decides to save me, and I turn out to be mafia, the doctor will get an additional $25 Amazon.com gift certificate. If I am indeed mafia, and I don't pay out, I promise not to delete any comments on this post regarding this matter that will malign my character. As indeed I'd not be worth a plug nickle if I didn't pay up.
So there, guys, you have it. A real-life promise of real-life money if I am lying. Welcome to hard-ball forum mafia
