AOC amogus is a prime example of a YES resolution. People be desparate when it's election silly season

@Gen resolves YES on AOC links/screenshots below. It's a game, it's a member of congress, and doesn't seem to be fake.

Stream Scheduled, marketed

predicted YES

AOC posted on bluesky that she has a plan to stream July 15th

bought Ṁ0 of NO

@JackHarmening I sold my NO position and as tempting as it is to put orders at 90-95% in case she doesn't play any games, I cancelled those orders. If it's a little unclear I don't want to be accused of bias, but fair warning if she plays a videogame of any kind (visible on screen), it will resolve YES.

Just thought I'd make that final clarification in case she opens up a phone app nobody can see and people want to say it qualifies as a gaming stream

@Gen Does calling into a gaming livestream but not playing count? Like AOC did calling into hbomberguy's DK64 101% run

@ForrestTaylor I'm not familiar with the event you're referencing, but if she calls in, says wow this is sooo epic!! Gamer moments all round!! I would count that

However, if they call into a stream to campaign, like "Hey guys, we need your vote!! Join the navy!" without making any mention of the game, essentially an ad while a game is playing in the background, I wouldn't count that.

There needs to be some form of participation/mention of the game. If a congressperson were at an in-person gaming event that was livestreamed, I'd count that too.

I hope this provides some clarity

@Gen It does. The streamer, hbomberguy, mostly asked her about political issues and trans rights during the call in (the stream was to raise money for a charity helping trans youth), but he did also ask her for tips on how to beat Beaver Bother. So my understanding is that should count, and I agree that what amounts to an ad would not.

@ForrestTaylor Yeah that would count

March 2024 isn't far enough into "silly season," I think.
