https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_surprise
Only applies to news events between 10/1-10/31. Any events happening outside of that range must resolve No.
@mods also, if something is resolved to have happened, then the option "No surprise, boring party" should be resolved as "NO"
@mods can we use this for arbitrage ? it is referring to the option "Israel invades Lebanon", time frame until 31-October... https://manifold.markets/LolPopb5f2/will-the-israel-invade-lebanon-by-t
@mods Creator is inactive. Most of these straightforwardly did not happen during October and should be resolved NO.
@MugaSofer @mods https://time.com/7095722/elon-musk-million-dollar-prize-questions/ ,
so that was reported to be happening, i want my manna :)
@GammaLaser there's always an October surprise. You just gotta make one up after the election to explain the results
@AliceFlowers Can we get a resolution on all the ones that didn't happen, at the very least?
@SaviorofPlant oh my god this market has terribly unspecific resolution criteria how did I not see this before
@NivlacM Kind of undermines the whole “prediction market” idea to retroactively pick something later, no? Are we really just betting now on what some random creator decides to go with after the fact? There’s been things throughout the month that were referred to this way but nothing definitive.
@Conflux Would N/A make sense? This is clearly in subjective territory now with no big surprise drop like the Access Hollywood tape, Comey letter, Hunter laptop, etc. happening to either campaign and multiple events listed already happened but we have no criteria for what counts and many of them have had some level of probable political impact.
@NivlacM hmm. are we counting pieces of dead animal babies? even then I don't know for sure - none of the meat I've eaten was deliberately marketed to me as coming from baby animals but I've eaten so much meat over the course of my life that there was probably a baby in there somewhere.
