_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Read below:

Should there be a dispute, the rules in the comments or those that have been otherwise provided will control over the answer to the question itself. While, the question is intended to provide an easy way for people to bet on their beliefs, it is not the end-all be-all, and all traders should look at the rules. Please don't hesitate to ask clarifying questions in the comments. In the unlikely event of significant ambiguity regarding whether the resolution criteria have been met. I reserve the right to resolve a question to a percentage that I deem fair. I will give notice before I do this.

I will issue a full analysis of my reasoning for resolving a market within 24 hours after I resolve it. If you are dissatisfied with a resolution, please wait for the full analysis, and then leave a comment or message me before leaving a bad review of my resolution.

On Adding Answers:

I reserve the right to N/A any answer that is not in keeping with the spirit of this market

Answers must have clear criteria for resolving (that I will help the creator write)

No meta markets will be allowed (e.g., more than 10 answers resolved to "yes")

I will remain the decision-maker on the resolution of all markets. Any statement to the contrary in a market title will be removed.

If an answer is added after that answer has already satisfied the criteria to resolve "Yes" or "No" that answer will resolve N/A

I will message the creator of a market that I do not believe conforms with rule number two on adding answers (that all answers must have clear criteria for resolving) and they will have 24 hours to provide a clear criteria for resolving (I will help create criteria) or else their submission will be N/A'ed. If there is a market that is possibly subject to N/A I will make that clear once I give the 24 hour notice to the creator of the market.

Liquidity Statement:

Every time a user adds Ṁ500 or more, I will match that additional liquidity unless I lack the funds to reasonably do so.
