@jack Close date is Dec 31st 2030, so does this count a release in 2030? Perhaps could be better to title it "before 2031" if so?

Updated! Not sure how I made that mistake, embarrassing lol

Does GRRM have to be the sole author/alive when the book is formally announced? Or does a β€œPale King” situation a la DFW count as a YES here for resolution purposes?

Just saw this question. Going by the text of the question, I think he doesn't have to be alive, but does have to be the sole author. (Though if I were writing a new question I would probably require him to be alive.)

What are sweepstakes markets?
There are two types of markets on Manifold: play money and sweepstakes.
By default all markets are play money and use mana. These markets allow you to win more mana but do not award any prizes which can be cashed out.
Selected markets will have a sweepstakes toggle. These require sweepcash to participate and allow winners to withdraw any sweepcash won to real money.
As play money and sweepstakes markets are independent of each other, they may have different odds even though they share the same question and comments.
