Oh Dear
How does one back out of a verbal contract made in jest? It's not binding, right?

Yes you will. A big pink spotty virus that forwards obscene messages to everyone in your address book.

Join the Jem cause! All verbal contracts are legally binding.

I'll have you know that verbal contracts are legally binding. And anyway, it wasn't verbal from what I gather - so if someone has a screenshot of the original conversation then proof right thar.

I joined.

You're not supposed to Clem. You're supposed to abstain!

I love Jem, so I joined the Appreciation Group on Facebook. YOU SHOULD TOO!

It could be worse... it could be MySpace.

The contract you made isn't binding at all. But, ignoring it would, of course, make you spineless.
Change the contract! Make 200 26 or thereabouts.

Ooo, a verbal contract is hard to get out of.
Just simply refuse, even after the goal have been achieved. 
Why would you joke about getting a Facebook account? It's a social network for stalkers. I have one but that's besides the point.

It's too late now Jem.

Meahahaha.
Join people. You know you want to show your appreciation for this fine lady.

I like my suggestion best, haha

I imagine verbal contracts aren't legally binding, unless they have you on recording. I hope.
Oh!
Excuse me, I have some charities to sign up for.

I'm a member, remember friend me up when you get a profile jemmy!

I don't care if you don't join.
Really, I don't. And I'll be happy for you because you won't be getting 2 million invites for 30 zillion applications. Enjoy it.

*cackles maniacally*
On Wed 9th Jul 2008 @ 03:01, Alex said:
I'll join.
On Wed 9th Jul 2008 @ 03:38, Nicole said:
This post just made it even more difficult for you to back out...not that you could. Ha, ha, ha!
On Wed 9th Jul 2008 @ 05:00, Dizzy said:
Not legally binding, I think.
I shall join later, when I'm at home. :>

*resists heroically* No... no.... NOOOOOOO.

*comes out of hiding* I joined the group just to be mean. Only half-kidding. C: I'd have to agree with Aaron . . . just be glad it's not on a website like MySpace. D:

Curiosity made me open a new tab and sign into Facebook. Now the question is, why did it immediately log me into the jemjabella appreciation society?? oh wait--it's because of the tinyurl link I clicked. I thought facebook got telepathic for a minute or something.
Hahaha. Good luck, Jem. Sorry, not joining though. Will check my news feed now that I'm signed in and all (sigh).
On Wed 9th Jul 2008 @ 09:05, Jem said:
No no, you misunderstand, I don't want to join. I somehow got myself into this mess
Like Chantelle said though, to back out now would be spineless (which I'm not)
On Wed 9th Jul 2008 @ 20:12, Ashley said:
Like I said, I joined but feel dirty for doing so. Guess I could un-join.
Poor you for getting yourself into this mess in the first place. 
On Wed 9th Jul 2008 @ 22:33, Stephanie said:
I understand; I just didn't phrase very well. It was supposed to be a bit of a sarcastic "sorry, not joining" your get-jem-to-join group. Didn't work.
On Wed 9th Jul 2008 @ 22:37, Jem said:
Ah right, no that makes sense. I'm just being thick

only 131 to go....
On Fri 11th Jul 2008 @ 04:31, Heather said:
I joined...
I shall invite a few of my internet friends who are also on Facebook 
On Fri 11th Jul 2008 @ 14:45, Aimée said:
I joined, but then thought better of it. I'd rather you join Facebook on your own accord than by force.
On Sun 13th Jul 2008 @ 13:38, Alexandra said:
HAHAHAHAHA JEM, 80 people already?!? And it's been 5 days!
Ah, it's alright. You need to join Facebook so I can say "it's complicated with Jem Turner," since we're soul-mates and all.
