.:Updates on Auctions:.

Postby Kyrit » 08/24/2010 4:11 PM

First off~ I would like to say that when I said you may only bid on one potion that means at a time. Say you get out bid on potion two. You can then bid on potion one instead if you would like. I just don't want the possibility of the same person getting both potions, as then I would have to read through whining about unfairness. We really are trying to make the auctions as fair as we possibly can, even if most of us know that it often boils down to those with the most money. It is an auction after all.

Second, we are going to implement a maximum bid. Yeah, I know that can be a pain. I'm personally one of the people who often post a crazy amount way at the end if I really want the pet or item. I'll be sucking it up though because I know that a lot of people would like maximum bids to help possibly keep the auctions slightly within reach of more users.

I know this is going to make someone mad(probably Shieba in particular. I'm sorry but we should have posted this before the auction. It slipped my mind though because I was excited to show I had done something) but we will be implementing the maximum bid in the current auction. It is going to be 50 KS. Yes, this means that the bid of 2000 KS on potion 2 is out, but this doesn't mean that you can't continue to participate in either auction. =)

*heh* I'm not mad, just...slightly miffed that I was finally able to KS dump and now, of all points in time, the possibility gets stripped from me after saving up for so long. Well, just like you, I'll have to suck it up. Too bad, thought I had a way of winning the auction without being able to be there for the ending time. Maybe next time, oh well.



I know my dreams are made of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last petal falls






However cold the wind and rain
I'll be there to ease your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember beauty is found within

O hay late question.

You say people won't be allowed to snipe. Can I ask how this is going to be handled? Or would revealing it be against the nature of it? D:

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

When did I say they couldn't snipe? I said people won't be allowed to place crazy high amounts right at the last minute. I don't recall saying no sniping.
