Upset about the changes and looming pivot? Want to quit in a blaze of glory?

  • BOOST this market with ALL OF YOUR BALANCE to count toward the protest number, it must be at least 2000 mana to be enough kindling for the bonfire! (Goes up to 20k after the changes happen)

  • Comment below with a picture of fire and the amount burned.

The more people BOOST this market with their balance, the longer it will stay on the front page as a monument to your protest, and the higher the protest count will climb. Market closes a few days after the pivot is complete.

I will keep a memorial list of users who self-immolate here, even if they choose to return to the website later. (They cannot self immolate twice)

LIST OF THE FALLEN

"Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg… and my arm… even my fingers. The body I’ve lost… the comrades I’ve lost… won’t stop hurting… It’s like they’re all still there. You feel it, too, don’t you?"

This market reminds me of the blue eye/brown eye riddle

24% of ppl think we'll get 12+ more immolations, even after people are refocusing on charity ?

@strutheo I plan to donate all to charity but leave 2k for immolation

@Odoacre ok! just keep in mind that we are increasing immolation price to 20k as soon as the 10x inflation changes hit

@strutheo will definitely do it before

@strutheo Have they announced any changes yet except the date? I've been trying to keep an eye out but haven't seen anything. (Still gonna self imo if not.)

@Najawin not sure what you have/haven't seen yet, but i'd say the best quick summary at the moment would be the newsletter, which will be sent out officially soon-ish (i assume) but you can see a preview (that might change) here https://manifoldmarkets.notion.site/d47f36e878584cf2b6643e8376da6808?v=1f710db1394d40b8961ecd035a602939&p=58069e2200a44ea2845b9b7068140d6d&pm=s

@Ziddletwix I saw the original preview, which accused the users of being the ones screwing manifold, and not vv.

@Najawin yes unsurprisingly given a few days they have significantly improved their comms strategy lol (which was disastrous at the start—although all of that is fully separate from me being against these changse)

@Ziddletwix This is slightly better, reading through it, but it still keeps 90-95% of the disastrous changes. I really don't see how they think this solves the problems people have.

@Najawin yes I only mean the comms are improved it doesn’t change all the reasons of substance I’m very against the pivot

also as soon as the pivot changes happen the amount required for immolation will go up 10x to 20K to match the changes

@strutheo Did you change the close / resolution date from May 13 to May 24? Quite a significant change in the question, I would say :-/

@Irigi they changed the pivot date on us, quite a big change i would say

ok i moved this so now it is closing the day after the pivot, so we wont see everyone donate to charity, then a flurry of immolations for fun/market manipulation for days after. that wouldnt be in the spirit of immolation anyway

@strutheo Thank you, that was mostly my concern.

the flames are not the end

like a phoenix you too can be reborn from the fire

anti-immolation

Why not be utterly changed into fire?

FWIW, I sent my whole balance to charity. Not clear from the comments so far how you're handling that.

@robm not an immolation by ty for your service o7

if you make another 2K you can always immolate after the 10x devaluation

@strutheo can you please change the default sorting to A-Z ?

reposted

Threw in another 350 mana into a Trevor Project donation. o7

The prophet we deserve

Sent to charity, thanks y’all for the good times

@Noah1 farewell friend

@strutheo (doesnt seem to hve immolated though)

@strutheo We need some sort of memorial for the users who left by donating everything to charity rather than self-immolating. I tried to make a bounty that could be used to collect a charity donation pool, but they've already been disabled (I can't even make one by duplicating an existing bounty).

@PlasmaBallin yeah i tried, no more bounties :( any ideas? maybe a market where you enter their names and NA them

@strutheo that only works for the next week and then no more NAs 🙃

@shankypanky What about editing an existing bounty? Is that possible? idk

@Qoiuoiuoiu it's possible to add to some existing bounties but I couldn't add to a couple that I tried so I guess it's hit or miss?

@shankypanky I was thinking about doing it by editing an existing bounty I made, but I guess if bounties can't be added to anymore, that's a bust.

@Noah1 I am donating 10k now, with the intent to buy it back at 10x lower rate.

@strutheo I vote we just remake make an addendum to this market that donating also counts. It's not like most of us are going to be back to care anyways.

@Rucker People have already bet on the original wording of the question, it should not be modified afterwards.
