This market will resolve purely based on my opinion. If I hear a story and think it's some crazy shit, this resolves YES. I will not bet in this market.
Also, please remember Rule 0: please don't commit any crimes to get a Yes resolution.
For reference:
Two weeks ago (the week of 9/7) would obviously have resolved yes, because of Charlie Kirk getting assassinated.
The week before that (week of 8/31) would have resolved yes, because of the frankly bonkers extrajudicial bombing of a retreating boat.
The week before that (week of 8/24) would have resolved no, despite the Ascension church shooting.
The week before that (week of 8/17) would have resolved yes, because of that whole crazy debacle with one of Eric Adams' staffers trying to bribe a reporter with cash in a chip bag.
I might resolve based on stories posted in the comments, but local/regional news is far less likely to get a YES resolution. Something like a "Florida Man" story isn't likely to resolve yes. Stories that have happened before at roughly the same scale, like the extrajudicial boat bombing, are also unlikely to resolve yes, though there are potential exceptions (like, say, another assassination).
If I am for whatever reason unable to resolve, this resolves based on a 48-hour Manifold poll.
