I will resolve any answers to these questions as soon as I see the xkcd posted for the given day and have time to resolve. If it ever appears that the post was skipped (I don’t see anything before the next usual post day) I will resolve all answers to N/A, with the exception of any questions regarding whether or not the xkcd is posted late. If the answer is ambiguous, I will wait to see thoughts posted on explain xkcd, and will either resolve or conclude N/A by the next regular post day based on the possible consensus there.

Others are free to add options. I will delete duplicates and ask regarding resolution criteria for potentially vague options, or questions that I am not sure how to resolve. If you believe that there is potentially a vague option, feel free to comment so we can address the issue as early as possible.

THERE IS A CHANCE THAT IF MARKET CREATION COSTS ARE INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE PIVOT, I WON'T BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS MARKET ANYMORE. If this is the case, I would be happy for someone who regularly bets on this market to take it over, message me and let me know if you would be interested.

I may bet in this market.

Described in the pivot? Not sure what that means.

I have noticed there is now a fee being charged, which I had not noticed before, but maybe I was just oblivious.

@JensFiederer Perhaps I’m wrong, but I believe at one point the pivot description explicitly said, “substantial increase to market creation.”

@EBurk Sorry, I don't actually know what a "pivot description" is, or where I would find one!

@EBurk Thank you! I hallucinated that every Manifold item must have a "pivot description" somewhere!
