(October 1st.)  Yes, I think they will get enough public attention for
the "prototype" to work.

It's a real-life parody on the Pentagon's project.  I'd bet that the bets
at AAM will be mere "shots in the dark", while the correct predictions will
NOT appear in the game, because the real insiders will keep quiet as they
make much more money IRL if the outcome stays secret beforehand, and the
non-insiders don't have enough fantasy (or madness) to guess the outrages
yet to come.    Same as it was in 9/11.....
