@Bayesian wait what do you mean by "newlines"... like if the headline on the front cover formats "Pope Leo XIV" with each word on a different line, that's different than "Pope Leo XIV" all on one line??!??!?!

@bens also, is this the headline on the physical print edition? Often there are multiple different cover designs, so the line spacing might be different from one to the other?! And what about web edition?!

@bens I'm saying that the headline doesn't need to match in terms of spaces and newlines. so Gen Z and GenZ are the same exact headline for the purpose of this market.

also, is this the headline on the physical print edition?

Not sure. I'm hoping this is not going to be ambiguous. what I have in mind is "the main headline" but if there is no such thing then ig we're in a pickle

@Bayesian ohhhhh I see, I missed that the middle = was not a !=

How no trader bonus for my option "67"

@121 From what I understand, your answer has to be the first answer somebody bets on on this market to trawl in the New Trader Bonus. If they bet on anything else before yours, they won't trigger it.

For example, I just put 1 mana on "67" YES (then immediately sold it) as my opening trade here. That triggered it for you, but not for Bayesian.

@Quroe hmm, that's odd

@bens The rules are different if the market is in independent mode. In that case, each answer is its own market and pays out a New Trader Bonus for each answer.

Ok anyone can add answers now

You’ve set the market close date to dec 11, where is your intel coming from that the POTY will be released in the first half of December?

@KeithManning

@KeithManning it's always in the first half of December

Generation Z

Gen Z

The Immigrant

The Protestor

I wonder if something which acknowledges AI but opposes it is possible. Like "The Human" of "Humanity".

"The Migrant"

"The American Pope"

@Joshua I'll bet no on that privately with you at 1:500 odds.

@notrealDonaldTrump Offer open only to him? I'll take up to 3 mana. Ah, forgot I can't, will go up to the minimum 10 mana.

@notrealDonaldTrump If you're willing to extend that offer to me too I'd also put 50 mana on it.

While we're at it, why not "An American Pope"?

(Edit: Sorry for the pings, Robin, my phone was glitching out a bit)

A little on AI, as I can picture just two giant letters as the cover capturing a news cycle in a way artificial intelligence wpuldnt.

@Bayesian add Zohran Mamdani

I'd guess if they'd go for anything AI-related, they might want to keep humans out of the headline and really differentiate this year's pick from previous ones. So I'd like to see the option:

AI

yeah plausible
