Alright, if you humorless queeps are going to be this hurt about it then I'm just going to cancel this thing. Light me up.

@NickAllen 😢

@NickAllen aww man, you didn't even n/a it in april

@NickAllen January Fool!

@NickAllen Can you tell us if you really were going to resolve this NO? If I don't get the mana, I still want the satisfaction of being right.

@Agh Would he have cancelled the market if he were going to resolve it to yes? Nobody would overturn that resolution, right?

"Misleading Title" guys im sorry its in the tags. You're clearly betting on whether or not this is an April Fools joke. If this was just a normal "will resolve yea on [day]", they'd put a disclaimer in the description that has nothing to do with April Fools. If it turns out to be a joke, it shouldnt be overturned.

(Also I'm incredibly biased I stand to gain thousands of Mana)

I just ran into this market and hesitate to comment on something that perhaps should be left buried, but for what it's worth, I'd support overturning a 'No' resolution.

This market will resolve NO on April 1, 2024.

0.8% chance. This market resolves NO on April 1, 2024. (Or as soon as we remember to resolve afterwards.) Just for context, April 1 is April Fool's day. This will have no bearing on the resolution of this market (obviously, as is true of any other market on Manifold, unless their resolution criteria makes a specific statement otherwise.) This is in reference to https://manifold.markets/NickAllen/this-market-will-resolve-yes-on-apr. [link preview]

From what I understand of April Fool's law, statements made outside of April 1 about April 1 are still binding on April 1. You may be able to get an exemption if you presented the committee with a believable plan to dump water on the yes bettors, but (1) I don't see how such a plan could work and (2) a simple yes/no swap won't get you any brownie points with the judges.

@Frogswap Ah, the well-established area of "Just Kidding" Legal Studies, with units in "Takesies Backsies", Finger Crossing for Lawyers, and April Fools Jurisprudence.

Would a 'No' resolution of the April Fools Day market be overturned if challenged?

51% chance. Market is here. I haven't decided which way I'll resolve that market, but if I chose to honor the idea of it and resolve it no, and someone challenged that resolution, would the admins overturn it? https://manifold.markets/NickAllen/this-market-will-resolve-yes-on-apr?r=Tmlja0FsbGVu [link preview]

In case any international bettors aren't aware this is a thing:
