After first publishing their top 100 movie list, the AFI released an update in 2007 which removed some movies and shuffled the positions. If the AFI makes another list, how will they order their top 100 movies?

Each option above is from the 2007 list, and will resolve to a percentage determined by the eventual position. If the movie is removed from the future list, it will resolve to 100%.

1st movie resolves to 1%

2nd movie resolves to 2%

...

100th movie resolves to 100%

bump - lots of free alpha in the middle still

does #1 resolve to 1% or 100%?

@mattyb yes lol sorry

@strutheo do you think movies removed i should put to 0? so that people have to hard predict it ? or should i just make it 100 so people can bet them higher and the ones at the top are more likely to drop off? idk what is more intuitive here

opened a Ṁ1 Lawrence of Arabia NO at 27% order

@strutheo lol idk. probably 100, as their rank is now 1XX

bought Ṁ10 Answer #51f13af4b7b2 YES

@strutheo I think 100 because if you resolve 0 then the movies that are likely to drop off the list would have similar percent to the movies that would rank higher.

@mattyb @JamesF ok 100 it is!

reposted

here is a question for the traders - if a movie is removed should it resolve to 0, 100, or NA? cc @Joshua

@strutheo Yup agreed with the choice to keep it monotonic, 100% is sensible.

Love the market idea! (Although I doubt we get a new list anytime soon if ever, but I’d love to see it)
