The paper crane is a symbol of luck & success, but also of peace & hope. Let’s recognize the users who make this community a better place with the first-ever Manifold Peace awards! Winners are users who are kind, level-headed, and optimistic, the sort who you’ll find deescalating conflicts, helping others, and setting a good example.

VOTING

In about a week from now, I will draft a Google Forms “ballot.” Any user who has received more than 1% and at least 5 YES positions on this market at that time will be listed as a nominee. Voting be ranked choice, which means you can select up to (number TBD) nominees (or a write-in) as candidates. Voting window duration TBD. You will have to list your username on the ballot, to prevent cheating, but I will not look at who you vote for.

DETERMINING THE WINNERS

I will multiply the number of votes each non-badged candidate receives by one coefficient (TBD) to account for their relatively lower visibility and status. Then, I will tally the weighted votes in rounds. The final 1-2 badged candidates and 1-2 non-badged candidates remaining will be declared winners of the awards.

RESOLVING THIS MARKET

Options in this market will resolve PROB according the weighted % of the vote each candidate receives in round 1 (before any candidates are eliminated), rounded to the nearest whole percent. At my discretion, I may discount votes at any stage if it appears that shenanigans have occurred.

AWARDING THE WINNERS

Winners receive a token amount of mana as a prize. You can add to the prize pool in this bounty market. They will also receive this awesome graphic in high resolution.
