looks like some law school kids did bad on their contracts class they prolly just finished. bad legal trolling going on. Here's my legal o-pinion.
Issue:Cast promise to delete char if someone hits 50 before him. He lost. Is the promise binding?
is there consideration? --
The consideration is present. Its not illusory. Someone accepted and as consideration furnishes a reciprocal promise to delete if they lose.
Rule:In general a waiver of any legal right at the request of another party is a sufficient consideration for a promise and any damage, or suspension, or forbearance of a right will be sufficient to sustain a promise(Hamer v Sidway)
Real Problem: none of us have privity of contract with Cast and therefore only Lovely could sue for breach, and specific performance ( deletion of the char).
