Resolves to all that are true. I will add more as the season progresses.

I may bet unless something appears or becomes subjective, in which case I will not bet. If something unexpectedly becomes subjective after I've already established a position I will outsource resolution if necessary.

I don't promise to watch so religiously that I don't miss any of these, so bettors should proactively seek resolutions, but I do promise to go back and check time stamps if provided.

I will close this set of questions the day before the finale is broadcast on Nebula, and will not resolve until it has been shown on YouTube. Obviously information will have been transferred in many markets before then, so participate at your own risk of spoilers.

Likewise individual markets will resolve after relevant evidence is on YouTube.

In general, events must appear on screen to count. If footage or audio is lost but the episode still confirms it took place and mattered that would count, but referring to something happening in a way that makes it clear not showing it was an editorial choice would not count.

In this context, physical location or mode of transport always matters.

Things we see or here during the 'outro' where the producers talk directly to camera in a studio setting do not count, unless specified.

Likewise anything shown in an outtakes episode.

England =/= the UK

* Before the finale is broadcast on Nebula. Either a link or a screenshot.

**Or a recognisable variant of it

***I will rule

  • Update 2025-12-17 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - For the option "The season has more than 5 days of real-time game time", it resolves YES if there is a Day 6.

  • Update 2025-12-19 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For the option "The seekers hit a time trap": A time trap is a feature in the expansion that can be placed on a station. It accumulates time which is added to the hider's total if and when the seekers hit it.

I invite participants to try to work out, as I will at the end of the season, whether any of the athletes pass through Birmingham even if they don't stop.

@JoshuaWilkes Resolves YES

@JoshuaWilkes Resolves YES

@JoshuaWilkes I assume that if an athlete is on a train that passes through a city X, then "athlete goes to X" resolves yes, since you say location always matters. Is this right?

@JoshuaWilkes What does "time trap" mean?

@Kraalnaxx it's a new feature in the expansion that they have said they are playing with. A time trap can be placed on a station and starts to accumulate time, which is added to the hider's total if and when the seekers hit it

@JoshuaWilkes as in more than 120 hours of gameplay time, not counting rest periods and counting or not counting travel time? Or something else

@aaaasterism or just 5 full gamedays' worth of gameplay (game ongoing through the end of the 5th game day)?

@aaaasterism will resolves YES if there is a Day 6

@aaaasterism a bit unfortunate that it started at 11am on Day 1, I'm not sure how that will impact the chance of a sixth hiding period.
