Can you increase the subsidy to 100 per answer? I think it might mean better answers. Thanks

@Jack1 how do you do this?

bought Ṁ5 NO

@jatloe 3 dots in the top right of the Market, select liquidity and add 425 subsidy

And your trader bonus will increase to 10 instead of 3

@Jack1 oke added

@marvingardens where have you seen these themes?

@Jack1 This feels like an iffy answer to have because it will trade on top and clog up people from seeing better answers. It would be better phrased in the other way so it trades near zero.

@Jack1 puzzle 1 lol

@Eliza unless of course it turns out to be a worthwhile reminder

@marvingardens but we don’t know if there will be those themes. I doubt there will be actually

@Jack1 then you should bet it down because it isn't a correct approach

bought Ṁ50 NO

@marvingardens Eliza’s point is that we’d like to bet it down so we can ignore it but it’s phrased in a way that makes us want to bet it up.

whereas jack believes that it is likely not a correct approach

@marvingardens no. Nobody thinks it’s the correct approach so it should be near the bottom of the list but it can’t!

@MachiNi if you don't think ignoring maritime themes is a correct approach, you can bet it down

@marvingardens oh come on. Why are you doing this?

If there are no maritime themes. How will it resolve? Because you can’t ignore something if it’s not there.

@MachiNi is there something you want from me?

@Jack1 The market creator will be the one who resolves all options but imo if it isn't a correct approach then it should resolve NO.

@marvingardens stop pretending you don’t understand our point maybe?

@MachiNi I don't know what you're talking about man. I read Eliza's comment, same way you did. Is that the point of your comments, to prompt me to say "hmm I see what you mean"? What is the goal of this growing chain

@marvingardens you’re being obtuse and uncooperative on purpose, contrary to the spirit of this market.

@MachiNi Brother just tell me what you want me to cooperate with. You clearly want something and are getting upset that I'm not giving it to you. Tell me. Otherwise, let's stop posting.

@marvingardens CHANGE THE WORDING OF YOUR ANSWER e.g. to ‘maritime clues are meaningful/important’ so we can all bet it down when (soon enough) we realize there aren’t such clues.

@MachiNi If you can get the positive assent of all traders on the answer and hand me the 25 mana it took to put it up, I'll reword it to whatever you want.
