Watching some of the recent votes in this market, and being observant for quite a while, we have been tempted into making a market on whether someone will be awarded a trustworthy.ish badge on their alt account as well as their main account.

P.S. We would not dismiss this market as a first thought but think carefully about what ifs.

Would appreciate it if you bolded your note about @SneakySly in the description.

I also feel like this edge case should have been ruled out before they got the badge back, since an option for them existed, and the criteria as described originally imply this would count.

Just noticed you mentioned it in a comment. Please put such things in the description.

@jskf ?! it's in the description! I'll bold it for you but I'm not sure what's missing and unclear

Actually I'm not sure what percentage sneaky gets resolved to

Like I know he's eligible but what does that actually mean

@Joshua 60, 30, 10, or 0 based on rank in the market if we don't get newly badged users this month.

Ohhh interesting.

hmm I see that @SneakySly got added. Sneaky had the badge and now had it replaced with famous-person-verification. any thoughts on how that should change the outcome here?

Good question TBH.

@SneakySly OK, here's where I stand. I don't think you qualify for triggering or sharing in resolution if you get the badge now, since it's not as if you were de-badged but just had your badge changed. But I get that people might still want to vote for you if this doesn't trigger by badging, so I'm fine if you are in the Win Place Show rankings. Objections from other traders? I'm opening to being convinced against either of these decisions if you can do so.

@Stralor I will say I'm hesitant to allow either since it may cause an influx of re-badged people, which feels like it goes against the spirit of the question. Still, it is what it is and none of us could anticipate the verification badge so I'm game to be flexible like this

@Stralor btw I have received the badge again. 👍

Your confidence is much appreciated.

@jskf 😂 I did it for most of the options. the list is so long!

@Stralor and if it helps soothe the aches, you should know I also hold shares:

@Odoacre 👍

aw shucks @Joshua, I appreciate the nomination.

I know I said self-noms are OK, but definitely didn't feel good about it as the author 😅

I don't see anything in the description about any percentage resolving to "Other". So that should be ~0% correct?

@DylanSlagh it can resolve to Other if somehow the admins grant the badge to someone not on this list AND no one adds them here. but bets on Other give you free shares in any new answers, so it's likely you want to bet there if you're not wholly satisfied with the current nominations

@Stralor and, of course, Other is just as valid an option for a Win/Place/Show resolution, though I assume even less likely

@Stralor I see. I wasn't aware that Other shares give you free shares for new answers. good to know!

man I miss TheWiggleMan. he won't win but what a trooper he was.

@Stralor also I'm sorry to @nickten who I neglected to add the emoji for
