The last market saw highs, lows, intruiguing plotlines, and market manipulation. Onwards 😤😤

In response to the market manipulation last time (my bad, there was a clear flaw in the market design) I am changing the resolution criteria this time. I will resolve the market by picking randomly from all responses, weighted by their final probabilities. This means there is no advantage (in expectation) to dumping money into one answer to get it to the top

More market details:

  • Interpret "sentence" loosely, it can be just a word or phrase

  • I will correct punctuation and spelling errors unless you tell me not to

  • I will stop doing this if the story gets boring, or offensive or something

  • I also reserve the right to pick a different answer if the winner is silly (i.e. kills the story), or we get a load of single words in a row or something
