Each fantasy team's players will score points based on their final rank in League Season 32. See the chart below for the point structure.
To draft a team, add a unique list of 6 Manifold users, each from different Leagues, that is not already submitted to the market in the form of:
[TeamName], [@MastersUser], [@DiamondUser], [@PlatinumUser], [@GoldUser], [@SilverUser], [@BronzeUser]
But here's the Twist!
Shiritori - The @ handle of each user in your team needs have the same starting character as the last character of the one before (non-case-sensitive). The Masters user starts the train. See Quroe's team above for an example. Teams must be valid at time of manual review. If you specifically are a member of your own team, and your @ handle changes after you submit it, your team will be made invalid. (If you change your @ handle for this market, you're sticking with it until the end of the month!)
Fine specifics of additional rules here.
TL;DR summary of all of the additional rules: You get one team submission, team with most points wins and resolves YES, 1000 mana prize pool for having the winning team, submissions close on Dec 5th, and please play fair.
I can trade on this market.
There will be no AI clarifications added to this market's description.
1,000@Bayesian is kindly sponsoring the prize this month! 1,000 mana is on the line to make the best Shiritori Draft team!
@NzJack0n Yes, there is a rule against having the exact same 6. However, substituting 1 user out for another is fair game.
@NzJack0n See the linked post page in the description for the full rules. I just didn't want to blast everybody with a text wall from the get-go.
@Quroe that was very similar to the team I was putting together. damn, i might just have to back this horse. might draft one anyway but tbd
@Quroe i don’t mind
It was a bit time consuming creating a team, it’s hard because the leagues show display name, but people’s username actually starts and ends with different letters
@NzJack0n Hey, I jumped through the same hoops you did too! I don't disagree with you. I'm trying to see if I can get a wide spread of users represented instead of small permutations on the same core team.
@NzJack0n Just know that you're stuck with that name for the whole month, or else your team becomes invalid.
@traders I will provide a warning at some point tomorrow stating that I will close off submissions at least 1 hour after that post. Get in your teams soon, or risk missing the train!
Yes! YESSS! No AI clarification happened!!!

@prismatic through the api or going through leagues from previous seasons to try to spot the person, otherwise no
@prismatic Thanks! The answer is, kind of? There's this tool to look into the past League pages.
Yes, the APIs are there and have the most search power if you want to set up personal tools, but if you're looking for a close heuristic, look at a person's achievements page on their profile and find the following achievements to get a feel for their past history.
Master Mind
Diamond Hands
Positively Platinum
Also, out of curiosity, did my drafting you into my team create a notification for you?
@prismatic Also, if it makes your day, you were the build-around player I seeded my team with. Every other team member was based on you existing as the starting point.
