Okay the Royal Bookie has been hard at work * rubs dried tired eyes*
So far this is what I have come up with.
It all started with Myrth (yeah give me a hard job ) betting anyone that RDA will be in the 200th ep.
Traveller Enroute1 will write a poem “Ode To The Missing General Jack” ChopinGal has offered to help write the poem,
Simhavaktra has offered to write a Sam fic if RDA does any actual acting ( get your dictionaries ready if this happens)
Tsaxlady would lay money on RDA being in the 200th episode. Yes but for that to happen RDA will have to give Tsaxlady a lap dance, not sure if she will be able to pay off the bet
Forever SG1 is not capable of writing readable fic, so will have to pay off in other means. (See Tsaxlady) also states if RDA/Jack is actually in the 200th episode as more than a clip, I'll use my personalized autograph at Gabit to have Amanda sign whatever picture you wish...to you. That is as long as it's acceptable by the G4. Again for possible picture see TsaxladyI’m not sure whose but Kat is referring to “And that's a mighty big but.”..if RDA doesn't actually appear in the 200th episode, then Ooober must have a special project completed and Myrth must use a bullwhip on Ooober
Dancer of Spaz said "Myrth, normally I'd take you up on that offer, but you seem a bit too confident So I'm going to take a certain condition from that wager, and bet you that we only see Jack via satellite or some kind of SGC "podcast" from D.C.. Or... that he's using some kind of tech from Thor I won't complain though. We take what we can get, right"
Umm? Not sure what Spaz is betting, so may have a hard time to pay off.
MajorSal is planning on knocking Sky out and mugging her “I won't complain though. We take what we can get, right if rda's in the 200th ep, skydiver will pay you 100 US dollars. if he's not in the 200th ep, skydiver will pay you 100 US dollars.”
While MajorSal is assaulting Sky,Tracy Jane will be assaulting Dancer of Spaz for said same reasons.
Unfortunately MajorSal will be surprised when she dips into Sky’s wallet and finds a bottle of rum (don’t ask me, Sky must have one huge wallet)
ChopinGal has gone from betting to predicting the future and believes that if RDA isn’t in the 200th ep. There will be shattered TV’s and all of Sky and TJ’s empty bottles of rum will be cast at the telly
Ok on with the betting *wipes sweat off forehead*
Now TJ has joined in on writing a fic, but I’m not sure if it’s for or against Jack being in ep 200. Oh well, she’ll write it either way once she dips into the royal bar.
Stargate Barbie states that if RDA comes back for episode 200
“ i'll write a fic (that nobody will ever want to read!)” So if no one reads it, is it really written? Hard time to pay off this bet too.
Some where I think AD mentioned putting in his links to STD’s (perhaps that for Simhavaktra so she can write her Sam fic?)
Now some how don’t ask me how, but MajorSal has asked for a domestic Sam-whumping fic, with Sam domesticated by Jack Perhaps that happened after she found the bottle of rum in Sky’s wallet.
Now Minigeek’s wager is a little more confusing, ( thanks mini) from what I got mini will make a 11x14 print-quality (high-res) Sam Carter sketch for everyone and everyone going to Gabit will have to buy Mini an orange or a raspberry martini (me thinks Mini will end up being sloshed, oh well she can join Sally)
TJ’s gong to take MG up on the bet, but intends to buy her drinks no matter the outcome. (To all those going to Gabit look for Mini under the table.)
Lida’s going to join TJ in buying Mini drinks of her choice, ( again look for Mini under the table)
Kat was astute enough to catch TJ hedging her bets. “Hey, what's up with that! You bet with me that Jack will be in the 200th episode and you bet with Mini that he won't be in the 200th episode? Playing it safe now aren't we?? “ Hmm? What do we do with TJ??
Lida, has gotten into the mood and wants to buy everyone at Gabit a drink no matter the outcome. ( But Lida hasn’t told hubby yet, uh oh! Maybe you can get help from one of the many Scribes to come up with a reason for the missing money)
Mini predicts she will be breaking out in song before the night is over (and before she ends up under the table) Don’t worry Mini the Samandans will bring their water guns they used on CG’s birthday cake to keep you in line.
Strix being the sound one of the group will bring Mini coffee/tea/hangover berverage of choice the morning after. (What Mini will really need is for Strix to hold her head while she prays over the porcelain ori ship)
Well that seems to be all the wagers but there will be a few unexpected outcomes, Somehow from these wagers CG will end up making love to a penguin . I quote “Lys, je t'aime mais je suis une penguine” Sky and Spaz will end up broke and with concussions, while MajorSal and Tracy Jane will need to be bailed out of jail, by whom? Hell I don’t know, ask the Royal Accountant where all the money went. Oy I think I need a drink. TJ!
Very very nicely done Mandy... and at the end of all this, standing on my original position, I should be the proud new owner of a personalised Amanda autograph, and an original sketch from Mini... w00t!
Yeah but the wicked one doesn't tell you about the private bets she is making behind the scenes. All I'm saying is that it involves a wet Amanda, in a black T-shirt looking like she is about to kill someone.

you know, i'm split on the leadership thing. I have no issue with sam leading, and i'd have no issue with her following...if cameron was just more clearly defined.
he's a leader that doesn't act like one. he acts like some green captain or lieutenant most of the time...which is my issue with him leading. It's not that sam isn't, just that cam does such a poor job of it that i just can't see sam sitting back and rolling her eyes and ignoring him
whether or not she's a leader on paper, in actions she is. She ACTS like a leader the majority of the time, while cam is off larking off and having a good time and fulfilling his fantasies
to me, the best way to settle the leadership issue isn't to deal with sam, it's to deal with cam and write him better
Spoiler:
what i've wanted from the start of this 'leader' mess is that if the writers didn't want sam to have it in season 9, E.X.P.L.A.I.N. it. the sam i've known for years was ambitious, so explain why a- she wasn't given it back when the ori became a threat, and b- IF she wasn't going to get it back, explain why landry wouldn't offer it to her and/or she didn't want it.
it's not really asking to much for continuity, is it?
... official flag designs compliments of Forever Sg1 and Strix and SamFan31, gardens compliments of Lys, castle compliments of CG, Dr. Emu and Duck Dodgers compliments of mini and Sim (Lys too?) and aviary by ?! ...
Have fun strolling the grounds but please don't litter.
So CG does the Castle have a Royal Party room and swimming pool for a Royal Samandan Party After all summer is right around the corner!
Sky, that is exactly how I feel. However I'm not sure Mitchell even can be written better at this point; to my mind (with respect to the leadership issue) the damage has already been done. He needed to be introduced in a different way (stronger, more knowledgeable, experienced and commanding respect off the bat) - in order for me to believe he could be a leader to Sam, Daniel and Teal'c. He wasn't, so I don't see that he can "grow into" that, now. Especially (as you said) since Carter's been so decisive in his stead thus far. If there's to be a new leader for SG-1 at this point I don't think it can be Mitchell anymore; it'd have to be someone completely different (if it isn't to be Sam).
mg
maybe the ptb are trying for this 'he's at your level' leader-type guy? mitchell is around sam, daniel, and teal'c's ages (with teal'c, i'm going by looks ), where jack was clearly older (NOT old ).
but if they weren't going by that scenario, then they should have (in my opinion), hired an older actor. someone that looked the part and shown authority with just his demeanor.

Yea you know what get's me
Spoiler:
is that Sam was supposed to be in charge of Area 51, (which I think is the job Maybourne once had) and then she's brought back to the SG1 and not even to lead SG1, isn't that like a demotion?
OK - a new wager for a THURSDAY morning. In keeping with the theme of S10's 200th episode wager(s), here's mine.
I wager that not only will RDA be in the 200th episode, BUT... -> He will go to Vancouver to shoot and have new scenes to do, complete with (new) dialogue between him and Carter AND there will be an allusion, if not more, to their 'relationship'.
-> Sam Carter will do (or say) something hilariously silly/funny.
If I'm wrong, I'll make a (NEW) 11x14 print-quality (high-res) Sam Carter sketch available to anyone on this group who writes and asks for one.
If I'm right, one of you AT2-attending folks has to buy me an orange or a raspberry martini at GABIT! (Any takers?!)
If I'm only PARTLY right (on either count), I'll draw and make the high-res version of the new sketch available anyway.

please excuse sally's absense from replying to this post. she's fallen into a coma from the sheer giddiness of it happening. i'm her stand-in for when this happens. please continue on with your discussions; i'll allert you to her recovery.
I don't know what they could do to make it reasonable that he is 'leading' a group far more experienced than he is, but if TPB can manage it, a toning-down of the character will be more than welcome as far as I'm concerned.
sounds silly and redundant, doesn't it?
help wanted, apply inside
needed: enthusiastic and eager to learn leader. no experience required.
