At random points in time I will visit this market.

When I do, if a move proposal is higher than 90%, The move is done on the board and the proposal resolves to YES. If there are several, the highest is done.

If some move is impossible in the current position (the piece has alredy left), the proposal resolves to NO.

I do not resolve more than 1 answer per visit.

There is a minimum 1h cooldown between my visits, thus you can expect at least 1h between moves.

There is no movement order.

A side is allowed to make more than 1 moves in a row!

All proposals have the form "<Player> <piece type><starting square>-<landing square>". You don't have to write + or x. If you write those symbols, then you reduce the amount of situations where the move can be done, check or capture become necessary. You can use it like a fuse, "White Qg4-g5+" means only do the move if it leads to check, but resolve NO immediately if the check is not possible anymore.

Join a side by betting "Will white win?" And Capture the king to win!

I didnt even remember this market because no one is making comments

Well, the idea didn't work as expected.

I thought it would be profitable to make limit orders at 89% and breaking the move by moving piece elsewhere to make the first one resolve NO, and get 900% income. But such strategies would need more people to play.

Also the procedure with random time of my entrance did not leave time for people to make such limit orders.

@KongoLandwalker Yeah, that assumes warring. But if you assume warring then it makes no sense to try to push moves through as 91% is too high to defend. So you don't take part.

So the effect was to encourage other things like considering co-operation or trolling or just not taking part. So became quiet enough to push through a win

Е2-е3 was N/A by my mistake

@KongoLandwalker huh why can't king move forward? It was created today after Ke1-e2

@ChristopherRandles my mistake. I thought that was an intention to write a pawn move, which was not possible already, to get a guaranteed No resolution.

I allowed not writing the piece type, but then it backfired and confused me.

@KongoLandwalker Are you able to unresolve?

@ChristopherRandles i tried, it writes "resolution happened mlre than 10m ago"

@ChristopherRandles i will make the piece notion obligatory

@KongoLandwalker Unresolved for ya with mod powers

@KongoLandwalker Good call. It is not like I can do anything special by not writing the piece, you can't ever get two pieces of the same color to occupy the same square continuously

@KongoLandwalker
Yes unlikely to be able to place another piece from same side on the source square before you realise the move has become impossible.

What I am wondering now is if the source square should be optional. So if I want Kf3 whether or not Ke2-e3 has happened I just submit White Kf3 whereas if I don't want to play that after Ke2-e3 then I specify White Ke2-f3

@ChristopherRandles no, taking into account my fails at managing previous gamemarkets that is very likely, that i miss something.

opened aṀ100 Black e7-e5 NO at 89% order

@SavioMak Does this mean war? I was thinking co-operation made more sense.

@ChristopherRandles Trolling is more fun, I'm not exqctly fighting for white

bought Ṁ1 Black Ke8-d7 NO

@SavioMak I didn't mean a black v white war but a better v better war for mana. But if it is trolling then umm hmm not sure what to do about that

@ChristopherRandles not much fun in cooperating to farm subsidy imo

@ChristopherRandles I am happy to spend mana trolling though, so don't feel bad taking this like a war and buy though the limit order :)

@SavioMak Re not much fun. Fair enough I won't take it as declaration of war/personal. But if I take that view then I should try to troll your trolls by trying to push through c8 to d7 or something?

Or I could still try to be more co-operative and offer deals e.g. I will support your e8 d7 if you will then drop your opposition and limit bid against e7-e5.

@ChristopherRandles do whatever you want to do!

I do not resolve more than 1 answer per visit.

There is a minimum 1h cooldown between my visits, ie moves.

Are you saying at most 1 resolution per hour, or at most 1 YES resolution per hour? Moves and visits are different because of NO resolution.

@SavioMak 1h cooldown between any resolutions. The fact about max 1move/hour is a consequence of that.

@KongoLandwalker Then what is the priority for resolutions if multiple can be resolved?

@SavioMak multiple answers can't be resolved YES at a single visit. If more than 1 have 90%, the highest resolves, and others are checked whether they are still possible. It is possible that one move proposal with 95% will make another one with 92% impossible by blocking the path.

Only NO resolutions can happen more than one at a time.

@KongoLandwalker Ok so you may resolve multiple NO + 1 YES at the same time, got it. I hope you realized that you said something else in the description though, you should change that

I do not resolve more than 1 answer per visit.

@SavioMak thanks for pointing. Changed to "... more than one successful move per visit".

bought Ṁ88 Black d7-d5 YES

@KongoLandwalker Thanks for clarifications

bought Ṁ110 Black e7-e5 YES

@KongoLandwalker It is a weird game, I suggest as I struggle to think of something relevant or useful to say.
