This is a dumb rule, imo, only because of this fact, how does one have proof that person doesn't have the said fg to cover the bet? For example, take me, I've got "679fg" that's not being mediated, but if I were to post my actual amount, I would be bombarded for donations/loans, so how does someone differentiate from mediated and not mediated fg?
I can tell you now I'm holding more fg, that is mine than I'm stating, does that make me a welcher?
Assuming that your amount is "679 fg" that is truly yours and you make a bet that is over that amount, then yes. It would classify you as one.
Think of it this way, if you weren't medding, could you have posted a higher amount for bet? No. The rule is that you cannot bet more than you have.
Just because you're medding a bet shouldn't give you the ability to bet more than you have because you can always "get it" somewhere. That's hella messed up.
I'm not sure why that's such a problem though. It's not like it's a NEW rule, it's clarifying a rule that wasn't explicit that should have been common sense.
Now, I get the idea that you made a bet and that person who lost haven't paid up and you're losing out on a bet. Yeah, that sucks. But the potential of someone being able to scam from the current system exists.
IE: Let's say it's a 10am game. You bet 100 fg and you win the fg. The med sends the fg but goes afk. You take your 200 fg and make a bet somewhere but let's say you have the evil intention of tricking someone to make some POSSIBLE fg. You find someone who wants to bet with you and you reference that it's a "med'd" fg and it hasn't been paid out (even though it has but since the med is afk, cannot confirm or deny).
So the idea of the rule is to eliminate even this possibility.
EDIT:: As far as your actual amount goes, people won't know unless you put it in sig or something of your actual amount. And it's upto the individual if they want to reveal that info or not.
