This market will resolve to whichever side has more votes in this Google form at market close: https://forms.gle/kLyjhudJBVUwm6uF6
Or 50% if it's a tie.
The catch? Google forms, by default, doesn't limit each person to a single reponse, and I haven't changed this setting. So, you can vote as many times as you want.
Inspired by a fiasco in a recent poll-based market of mine.

Breaking news! The Plasma Ballin' decision desk can now project the winner. We're so proud of you all for getting out to vote - we received 14,824,700% voter turnout! Although the flood of votes was so large that it broke all of our infrastructure, we were able to eventually get the results to load in Google forms. The result was a landslide for NO, with 99.8% of the vote!
The full results were:
NO: 5620767 votes
YES: 12218
left blank: 401 votes
Does anyone object to a NO resolution? It is impossible to download the responses because the number of votes submitted completely broke Google forms. However, I am >>99% sure that NO won in a landslide (by more than 3 orders of magnitude, I think). The responses that I do have (from before the reset) are >99% NO, and I'm pretty sure all the responses after the reset were NO.
@JosephNoonan What's going on? I stopped botting so that the form wouldn't be too broken for you to get results
@ShadowyZephyr Approaching 4 million, though I think it may have reached its true breaking point. I don't know if it's actually registering responses anymore because the number isn't going up. It may have reached the limit where it ran out of space to store any more responses.
@JosephNoonan Can you give us a heads up about how you're going to run this? Will you just keep clearing the spreadsheet?
@ShadowyZephyr No, because I can't keep clearing the spreadhseet every few hours each time it gets broken. I was able to access the responses prior to the clearing by downloading them, so I'm just going to hope that I can access the final responses by downloading them as well. If it becomes so broken that I can't even do that, then I'll probably just have to N/A.
I am just going to say it: One side is winning in a landslide, with more than 99% of the vote. So maybe you can calm down with your bots so that the form will be more manageable. Plus, I don't want to spam Google unnecessarily, even though this type of traffic is a drop in the bucket for them.
@Vespie ofc YES is winning because you wiped all our f*cking 2 million votes that we had accumulated
and that restart stopped my bot from going I presume. Io don't think this is fair
@ShadowyZephyr How fast does your bot generate responses? At this rate, the form is going to get destroyed again within a few hours
@JosephNoonan
I doubt it would destroy it THAT quickly. Maybe Vespie made a mistake? This is getting really stupid and we're now being forced to giveaway info. Not sure what we should do now.
@JosephNoonan oh my bot could definitely do 40k, I thought it takes millions to destroy the form. Also I want to point out that I almost certainly would win if you hadn't said that because Vespie would never know their bot broke
