Recently I lost out on a $40,000 deal for Magic cards due to behavior by someone else that I consider to be dishonorable. I was considering writing up a post about it to share with that community to try to notify them of my perception of how bad actors tend to abuse social norms to get their way.
@TobiasVyseri is concerned that it's mostly going to come off as "whiny", and just look like me complaining about losing out. I agree this is a likely outcome. A big part of the motivation certainly is me feeling upset about what happened and not wanting to be silent about it and just let the other person "win".
The demographic of people it's aimed towards is extremely different from that of Manifold; these are people who have next to no interest in psychology, philosophy, or economics and are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars and many years of their life on collecting rare trading cards.
The text of the prospective post is here.
This market resolves N/A if I decide not to post it. Feel free to try to manipulate this market to NO by making helpful suggestions. (Or manipulate it to YES by making bad suggestions, I guess.)
I won't bet.
