I had questions voided because a mod ended up disagreeing with my odds...so i put in the odds they suggested, and the market brought the odds back to MY original levels. Not saying this is a regular occurance, but I believe some other method (other than VOIDING) should be implemented if the only disagreement is odds. I believe since the mods can bet, that this sets up a fundamental conflict of interest. Figure out a system where the market controls the odds 100%. Do not let biased people control the odds. This might mean that users cannot bet on their own questions......so let the user make 1% of the action on questions....etc....
No it doesnt have to be in more than one city....the media will define what a riot is...a la rodney king, etc
warm fuzzy feelings aside, those people who (week after week) create the good questions that keep us logging in here should be rewarded....with 1% of the take.
I don't mind creating questions....the main problem is that there is no real reward for creating good questions...Like a percentage of the action! If people were given a percentage of the action (like 1%) for creating a question, I believe you would see a lot more questions!
GM Veselin Topalov (Bulgaria) won Today in the decisive match versus Ivanchuk. Carlsen had a chance and so did Aronian -- was a GREAT tournament. Please if you like chess questions let's make more! Chess = win!
your question says assert but all of the answers say assume......asserting and assuming are two very different things.....asserting control being much easier to do than assuming control of a city and it's functions.
