OMG it resolved!

@JoelBecker Nice to see you back at No. 1 ser 🫡
My apologies for pulling you into it.

Not sure if it was quite worth it in the end, a lot of EM (expected mana) lost to lack of funds. Tho got a nice break & funny story I suppose.
Hope your motivation to remain top dog hasn't faded ;)

Manifold admins have resolved this market YES. This is by no means a dangerous precedent.

@stone I like Manifold's philosophy of being as hands-off as possible, but when an unresolved market is making for an inaccurate all-time leaderboard, and that has lasted a month, it makes sense to make an exception, because now the whole site is being affected.

@stone We gave Predictor plenty of time and sent multiple messages but he gave no indication that he was going to ever resolve it (hasn't used the site in over a month).

Long term we intend to be as hands off as possible. But that doesn't mean in the early stages we should neglect some of our most active users.

Will this market resolve by 8/15? https://manifold.markets/jack/will-predictor-resolve-their-curren

I swear Manifold is rigged to prioritize humans over bots
sold Ṁ9 of YES
@ahalekelly Well your first one seemed to just buy NO exclusivley and not at particularly great prices. I could have drained your entire account! Glad to see you're making some adjustments and experimenting tho, GL :D
predicted YES
@GeorgeVii I have lost a lot of money due to whales and it is my 1st week
sold Ṁ9 of YES
@Ibozz91 I saw some of your bets, I think you lost money due to poor predictions. But I believe in you. Just get used to the maniswap mechanics before placing very large bets again.
sold Ṁ9 of YES
Looks like they've changed the mechanics and now if you press the down arrow while owning YES shares, it's recorded as "selling M$9 YES shares". Are you planning to count such trades, or stick with the resolution criteria as stated?
predicted YES
@MichaelWheatley Even counting "sold M$9" as an arrow press, results would be: 5962 YES to 3924 NO. So shouldn't pose an issue for this market at least.
