I know everyone is super excited about the artistformerlyknownasNFLsurvivor coming out of retirement for a March Madness pool. It's definitely happening.

However, reaching out today to my fellow baseball fans on SN: @grayruby @siggy47 @BTC_Bellzer @tnuts420 @kr @wumbo @Turdinthepunchbowl @needcreations_ @stacksatstoday @Jer @BlokchainB. Let's throw in our pal @Undisciplined too and of course anyone else who might be interested in joining.

Thinking about doing an MLB survivor pool. Pick one team per week. That team needs to win at least 50% of their games or you get a strike. So if they play 5 (rare) or 6 games in a week, they need to win 3, if they play 7 they need to win 4. In true baseball fashion we will do 3 strikes and you are out. And since the season is long, let's say you can use each team a maximum of 2 times.

Would be more details to iron out such as, do we do a buy in? or just a zap total of all posts prize? and refining the rules. But based on everything I have told you today:

Yes- Batter up100.0%

No- Hit the showers0.0%

I'm in it to win it. A baseball season lasts roughly forever, right? I'll devise an appropriate strategy.

Did anyone still want to do a h2h league as well? I can set one up on ESPN if there's interest

@grayruby here. I wanted to but not much interest from folks on SN so I dropped the idea. If you are doing one outside of SN and need another member, shoot me a DM on nostr, I will join.

is this happening?

@ek do you know why this post was a freebie? Does this mean all the people I tagged won't see it?

100 sats \ 12 replies \ @ek 9 Mar freebie

posts in your territory cost 21 sats but you allow freebie posts and @artistformerlyknownasNFLsurvivor did not have 21 sats is my guess

Does this mean all the people I tagged won't see it?

they'll get a notification because of the mention. they will always see the post if they have a link to it. they won't see the post in the feed if they don't have greeter mode enabled in their settings.

update: mhh, just disabled greeter mode and I still see it in recent (same for anons). I think that's a bug.

Not a bug. Freebies can be granted visibility if some trusted person voted for it.

If a post/comment is a freebie and has <=0 weighted votes: only greeters see it and get notified if they should be notified.

If a post/comment is a freebie and has >0 weighted votes: everyone can see it.

Ah, that's smart. But why does it show up if I am logged out then? Does @anon accumulate trust to others? I thought we prevent that.

update: oh, is it because of trust seeds?

20 sats \ 6 replies \ @k00b 9 Mar freebie

Anons aren't hidden when you're logged out. They paid.

10 sats \ 5 replies \ @ek 9 Mar

i mean this post since it's a freebie post

110 sats \ 4 replies \ @k00b 9 Mar

It showed up when you were logged out but it had <=0 weighted votes?

20 sats \ 3 replies \ @ek 9 Mar

but it had <=0 weighted votes?

Mhhh, probably not. But I got confused because I thought "weighted votes" are related to which votes you trust and I thought @anon has no trust to anyone.
