It’s a bit of a shame that the market resolves at an exact time. Randomized resolution time makes the gaming at the end much more interesting, because you have time to think about the optimal next move (but of course not infinite time.) It is of course random regardless, but without intentional randomness it’s about network lag and manifold server responsiveness, which aren’t as exciting to model. Perhaps “resolves exactly at new year, +- N(0, 10 minutes)” if this falls within the tentativeness of the schedule.
That might be worthwhile in the future. Since this is important and I’ve already declared an end date, I will not be changing the resolution time this tournament unless something goes wrong like technical difficulties.
