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.
@notrealDonaldTrump changed to @realDonaldTrump mid-game. The teams that had him on it have been updated and are still valid.
1,000@Bayesian is kindly sponsoring the prize this month! 1,000 mana is on the line to make the best Shiritori Draft team!
@jackbot Alright, the teams are updated. I left a note at the bottom of the description saying what happened. The 2 teams that drafted him are still valid.
@Stralor @Eliza @shankypanky In case you three have a stake in these developments as moderators, here are your courtesy pings.
@Quroe There is a very straightforward way to do this task using only Google Sheets. It's not the uhhh prettiest way and 10 people will come along with minor improvements, but this is how someone can do it in a short enough period of time to actually participate on this market:
1st tab: IMPORTDATA([division, user_id] from season 32) (can't ask for CSV with IMPORTDATA so it will be JSON and require a little parsing)
quick and dirty, hack out the division number and id from the JSON
2nd tab: IMPORTDATA([user_id,username] from [sort users by lastBetTime.desc])
quick and dirty parse out the user_id and username
now use vlookup to prepare your final data
fun 3rd tab for interactivity
I'll try it right now, we can see how long it will take in this sheet.
@Eliza Alright, it took a little less than 10 minutes to get the data and then another 10 minutes to come up with a fun entry panel that works. Anyone who wants to create their own entry can use that sheet now. I did configure it to only fill left to right, you could flip it if you wanted to start in the middle.
@Eliza Wow, that was fast. However, these teams will only be in spirit. I encourage somebody to make another derivative market with a longer opening window, since I already made a promise to close submissions down, and I need to keep that.
@Eliza Alright I added a few more features and it's kind of a nice interface now. If anyone else wants to play I will share the sheet and I would host a separate market.
@traders I intend to turn off submissions at some point between 8pm-11pm EST today. You have a guarantee that it will stay open up until 8pm to submit your team. Any point after that, and you risk not getting in on the fun.
I will not trade on this market today. This market cannot resolve to "Other".
