I want to run another game show at Manifest. TL;DR: Add your name to the market, comment "I wish to participate!" to begin your campaign, rally for likes on that comment, and get on the show! [I'm still finalizing the rules and will post the rules and outcome markets soon. They should be very similar to last year's game, but I will streamline the rules to be less of an eyesore to read. I will delete this bracketed text soon.]
Add an @ handle as an answer to the market in the following format: @Quroe
Anybody may add anybody to the market. Comment "I wish to participate!" if you accept your nomination to be a Contestant. (I'll pin these comments.) Only 1 market per person is valid.
There will be 2 Contestants. At the start of the show, a coin will be flipped to determine which Contestant will be chosen first, A or B.
The most liked comment that follows the above instructions (with a corresponding market answer following those instructions) will be Contestant A if they are all of the following...
physically present at the show
have a Manifold account AND can prove their Manifold identity to me
are not Manifold staff
are not already an active OR a past Contestant
are willing AND able to participate
will ante แน10,000 OR will be sponsored/loaned their ante on the spot.
If they are absent, then the next valid comment will be selected, cycling through this process until we find a Contestant. I may lock in the top-most liked Nominees before the selection begins at a time of my discretion to prevent like-flipping during failed selection iterations. Manifolders can submit their name to both the A and B markets, but they can only resolve YES on one of them. If there are no valid nominations, then I'll pick somebody out of the crowd.
I can trade in this market.
Market for Contestant B:
People are also trading
@realTomBayes I can't easily police that. If that happens, the audience should boo that Contestant during the game and shame them.
@Quroe But I mean if I went on @JDVance1 and @ManiFed and @ManiFedTrading and @PeteHegseth and liked my comment above, would you count those likes?
