The Gävle Goat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A4vle_goat) is a famous display in the city of Gävle, Sweden, consisting of a large version of a traditional Swedish Yule goat. It is famous largely because it has been the victim of many arson attacks in the years since it has been publicly displayed for the first time.

This question resolves to YES if the Gävle Goat erected by the Southern Merchants is burned down before February 1, 2023, and NO otherwise. Note that other damage to the goat, so long as it is not caused by fire, will not lead to a YES resolution. Incomplete fire damage will be judged as a YES at the discretion of a Goat Adjudication Team formed by myself and no less than two other people who have been involved in forecasting with me in the past.

The goat is disassembled now, it did not burn. https://www.gd.se/2023-01-02/gavle-bockar-av-en-jul-utan-bock-brand (Swedish)

predicted YES

@NiklasWiklander dammit. I did not realise it could be removed before Feb!

Aren't you afraid yes voters go burn it down themselves?

predicted NO

@JonasKamper Risk jailtime for a few "fantasy dollars"? I wouldn't! :)

bought Ṁ2,500 of NO

probably overcorrected some, missed this market is until feb 1, but it's only been burnt once in january, in 1985

bought Ṁ10 of NO

On the priors... 67% chance of fire is correct for all goats ever, but only half the goats have burnt down since 2010, so putting in a weak NO bet.
