Proposal: Every Wednesday at noon PST, the Manifold Crane flies around a bit on the screen. Then it picks a random market and shits on it in a vile animation, awarding each trader WHO IS ACTIVELY ON MANIFOLD and has traded on 5 markets that day 500x their position on that market.
Why this is a good idea:
Adds a fun game element to Manifold,
Makes a couple people per week really happy,
If the animation is really funny, a screenshot could go viral and bring a bunch of users to Manifold.,
Inspires markets "Will the Manifold Crane shit on me before 2030?",
Most importantly, it gets users actively using Manifold! The rules state the eligible users are online at the time of the shitting and have traded on 5 markets that day, making Manifold more active and fun.
I am interested to hear thoughts and suggestions on this.
500x might cause mana inflation lol, maybe 5x or 15x would be more doable
The Friday noon PST time encourages people in the old world to break the Islamic and Jewish sabbaths. Perhaps Wednesday noon PST.
@realDonaldTrump Wednesday noon PST will inspire more workplace conversation! Whoever's craned doesn't have as long to wait to tell people who work in their same field what they were rewarded for.
