The resolution contract
Fixed when the question was written — what happens is checked against this, not against vibes. Ambiguous? It resolves N/A and everyone is refunded.
- Resolution criteria
- YES if the wanted/heat system introduces a structurally new model — e.g. a search-based "last known location" system, evidence/witness mechanics, or a non-star escalation. Cosmetic tuning of the existing star model (different star count, faster cooldown) resolves NO. Resolution council publishes the specific bar ("structurally new mechanic X") at open.
- Source of truth
- In-game verification; official statements.
- Resolves
- Within 3 weeks of launch.
- N/A (refund) if
- Whether a change is "structural" vs "tuning" is genuinely contested by the council without majority.
- Resolution deadline
- Nov 26, 2026
How payouts work
Parimutuel: all stakes pool together. When the question resolves, winners get their stake back plus a share of the losers’ points, proportional to stake weight. No house, no odds-setting — the crowd IS the odds.
