I think the most likely scenario is that we’ll hear no more about either of them. So I want to win that case; if the two are unrelated then I doubt we’ll hear anything explicit to that effect.
Rather than worry about what’s “cheap” let’s just say the loser pays $50 gross, any payment fees or the like can come out of the winnings. And I’ll stipulate that anything bitcoiny qualifies as sketchy.
And yeah, $50 is an amount that I can comfortably toss for online entertainment without checking my bank balance.
How about this stipulation: if the name Baba Yaga does not appear in the book again, and Eliezer Yudkowsky does not Word of God that Mr. Hat & Cloak is Baba Yaga, you win. I’m expecting Baba Yaga to be important, and if she’s not mentioned again or only mentioned offhandedly I will likely concede.
The latest progress report suggests that chapters will resume in February, so the story might not finish until March. Extend the bet’s expiration date to March 31st, 2015?

We are on the same page about payments.
Sounds fair enough. So we have a bet?
We have a bet. It’s on!
By request, I declare solipsist to have lost this bet.

Sure. Happy to push it out a bit longer actually, as I’m not confident there won’t be further slippage; how about extending until June 30th?
Sure.
