I guess this is also an unofficial announcement of Leagues which will probably start on May 1st! Over the course of the month, you will be able to compete with other users to see who can earn the most mana from actions taken during the season.

At the end of the year, all people working on Manifold will take a Yes/No vote. If the majority vote Leagues as the most impactful new feature from 2023 this market will resolve Yes. A split vote resolves no.

This month won't count towards anything, but next month everyone will be reset to 0 and put into groups of 25 similar to those currently existing.

Users have to earn mana, only counting bets and bonuses made since the start of the season, to move up the ranks. They will also be rewards and other incentives.
