I really feel sorry for nubcake here.
Read all the posts, even read the published video of the discord chat.

1 escrow replies after 10 days and the other is offline for soon to be 1 week, not the best way to handle a situation.

Also, nub's arguments basically get ignored even though everything he says has a foundation. Rule 3 is in effect, rules 6 also gets violated here. Bad example how to not have a bet/escrow in this forum, especially for high amounts like this one.

"My reluctance is partly due to the fact clause #3 doesn't include a timeframe, and since the bet does not reach maturity until January 1st, 2023." is no argument in my eyes. When there is no timeframe then this mean obviously anytime.

When I make a bet, Bulls vs Warriors, and I lose I cant say, oh I meant the next game after that, we didnt say the time.

You 2 made the rules, maybe not specific enough, but you both agreed to them. And according to the rules as they stand and are written, nubcake is right. Interpretations of the rules don't matter, just whats in written down.
