Who will be Contestant B at Manifest's 2026 Nash Pit? Add yourself!

Question

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 B 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 Ṁ10,000 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.
