Bro, what did I do? I am like nobody on Twitter and had no interaction with him....

Resolve by EOY 2024 or NA if I cannot find out.

Sort by:

I actually block a lot of people on my twitter to compensate for their poor recommendation system. Possible he is doing something similar?

New option: he is curating his own echo chamber

i think he uses mass blocking tools tsk

Should this market be unranked?

@GazDownright by unranked, you mean multiple response resolve to YES?

I realized that problem. So maybe when resolving, if multiple answers were YES, then I will chop between them. Sounds like a good plan?

Or, I can resolve to the one that gets first confirmed?

which do you think is better?

@Sss19971997 Unranked as in profits and losses doesn't count towards leagues.

@GazDownright why unranked?

@Sss19971997 It looks like this could come down to the blocker's feelings, and then inevitably there is no real way of verifying that. I don't have the answer, just posing the questiin.

@GazDownright I will think about it. I am still learning how to deal with ambiguity.

the worse thing to happen is resolving NA, right?

@Sss19971997 Yeah, I reckon there is no reason to worry.

Lol he's an idiot

This is a horrible market design lol, too likely to NA to worth betting. Should've just added a "cannot find out" option

@SavioMak Great choice, but might be too late to make this option

@Sss19971997 Make a new market of "Will [this market] resolve N/A" maybe

@SavioMak I will do it if more than 40 people bet in this one

What is your opinion of him?

i was just thinking of a phase transition problem.

Suppose his script says, block anyone who follows three blocked accounts.

At the beginning, the blocking will remain calm, until a sudden point when it starts to explode

@LexFridman bro why

@Sss19971997 the guy is on the surface a romantic who likes to talk of love, but as it turns out, is filled with hate. Sad.
