Will I still be enthusiastically (and haphazardly) betting at the end of February, and annoying friends along the way?

I'm new here ๐Ÿฃ Yet, it's already been not-so-subtly implied by @Joroth that I may be overly enthusiastic about markets and betting (made all the more confusing, perhaps, by the fact that I'm not exactly a savant in this space).

I should add that this is all pretty on-brand for me, and yet, how long will it last? Will I still be annoying friends with talk of markets at the end of Feb? Or will something new and shiny swoop in to fill the void?

FTR: I intend not to buy Mana if I go broke, but if I cave, it's inconsequential to the resolution. Purgatory only resolves Yes, of course, if I go broke and don't sell off bets or buy more Mana, meaning I'm still into it but unable to bet.

@shankypanky im not even 95% confident that I understand what you're implying when you say "it's clearly mispriced" sob

@Bayesian well to start, 19% on my having another compulsion is a blindspot at best given the amount of time I spend here (pls someone exempt me from the Feb bucket list ๐Ÿ˜ญ)

also, oh no - I meant to reply to your buy why did you sell? lol

@Bayesian guess those comment posting errors weren't accurate ๐Ÿซ 

@shankypanky I'm happy with robert taking the alpha, and lol i ran the bucket list thing the other day and I am #1 woo i win ๐Ÿ˜…

@Bayesian hahaha oh god okay I'll see you at the top

@Bayesian maybe we should stop talking about markets in the middle of the night? lol

this one closes today and let's be realistic people, it's clearly mispriced

well I'm happy to be wrong so far

@Stralor so far

okay last night in a completely unrelated context (I went to play D&D with strangers at a cafe) someone heard me introduce myself and said "hey did you say your name is Stefanie? this might be weird but I think I've seen you commenting things on Manifold?"

even when I'm touching grass my enthusiasm follows me and maybe it's time for a break ๐Ÿ˜…

if you can't beat it, commoditise it

@shankypanky Still true

@Joroth an escape room, but I can't find the clues to get out because I'm too busy news trading

Minor update: at some stage today I was down to M11, somehow staying afloat, when I received an unsolicited (but humbly and graciously received) incoming Mana transfer. This along with some absurd/laughable markets to bet on has only increased my vigor.

Mana from heaven ๐Ÿ˜‚

It seems to be working!

@Joshua side quest: will I still be topping the bottom league at the end of February? ๐Ÿ†
