LOLIn your head.
I live rent free there.
Thou art a fiend and a chicken.

bukbukbukbukbuGAAAAAWK!!
I'll do a one month avatar bet.
It only took you four times to finally articulate the metrics of this bet.
Just FYI, I won't be putting anything on my avatar of an obscene or sexual nature. I know I have to stipulate that now because you absolutely will otherwise (you're nothing if not predictable).
Just so you know, anything along those lines will be rejected.
I'm okay with that.
My take is whatever appears on the ballot is the affiliation. If the Independent runs as the candidate for the party, that's where they score. If they run as an Independent but caucus with one of the parties, they don't score.Finally getting to this one

6. The avatar cannot contain of obscene or sexual nature
Do we want to clarify how independents qualify or we going straight party affiliation? There's only one currently in the house but just trying to cover all bases here.
Also @Farmer Br0wn, can I get more detail on what you deem obscene? I have trouble getting bets honored and don't want this piece to cause a snag. @Fawlty, if you already have an idea, it may help to just pm me a heads up so this doesn't seem like an obstacle.
Let me know about the one question and afterwards, I'll get approvals and get this official.

I only agreed to a one month avatar bet, not 6.
In regards to independents, if they're registered independent, than they aren't Republican or Democrat. If you're not a member of a club, don't expect club privileges and such.
how are ppl getting banned in here?
standards must be hella strict

That's easy to determine. @Farmer Br0wn, does that sound good?

Got it. Also, do you have more detail on what you would consider obscene? I don’t want that to cause issues when a winner isn’t decided.
Oops sorry, didn't see the 6 months in there, it's supposed to be 1 month.

6a. A Democrat rep will be determined by if they ran on the Democratic parties ticket
6b. The avatar cannot contain of obscene or sexual nature
@Farmer Br0wn , I just want a little more guidance on what is obscene to get this finalized. That word can be fairly subjective and I don't want it causing problems once the bet is called.

Cambridge dictionary says
offensive, rude, or shocking, usually because of being too obviously related to sex or showing sex
I think the only part posing a problem there would be the 'offensive' part, as anything else should be easy to spot, right?
My proposal here would be that @Farmer Br0wn should be able to turn down any avatar but must publicly give a reason. (Same for the other party, of course)
Like I said before, I really don't have a problem with avoiding anything obscene or sexual, in whatever way it could be reasonably defined.
@HockeyBjj @PolishHeadlock2
How confident are you feeling on your bet compared to the time you made it? Do you feel more or less likely to win at this point?
