1202

Ugh.

Nevermind.

1203

Bolding and size mine.
NAF: Are we getting rules 18 - X into this game then?

1204

CLARIFICATION::

2.75 and 3.75 are still open. Hence the phrase " OTHER OFFERS "

1205

I actually had to leave my computer, and as I was leaving my subdivision, I was thinking to myself, that I totally flubbed up, and stated a cancellation of all offers, with out the condtional on 2.75 and 3.75.

Phi

Just remember that I have been trying to make a deal with you for some time now. I’m not a ‘also ran’ here.

1206

No, chrisk disallowed it. But he did go for some of my other ideas. The rest is up to you guys. They key here is that it’s an all or nothing auction. If not everyone agrees to have the auction it won’t happen. I PMd him what I want the auction rules to be and he is straightening out some potential bidding complications for me, and then (if he got my last PM before he left) he will PM me back and I will start everything, or he will start everything tomorrow.

1207

I think it’s worth noting that at this stage I don’t think I have a hope in hell of getting off the bottom of the list, so I’ve been playing to get 16 17[sup]th[/sup]s of the way to a personal goal (since I don’t have any chance of getting rule 7.)

To this end I’m going to repost my three open offers.

Dirstly.MHaye Offer 10.

Mahaloth.
I offer a look at rule 11 or rule 12 (your choice) for a look at Rule 16

Secondly.MHaye Offer 11.

Phi2dao.
I offer a look at my Rule 12 for a look at your rule 3.

And finally.Sinjn.

MHaye offer 12.
I offer a look at my rule 11 and my rule 15 for a look at your rule 6.Thank you for your assistance in reaching my goal.

1208

MHaye I don’t have a hope in hell of winning either. I’ll help you to your goal if you help me to mine. I want to be the copper queen.

sinjin #1007 to MHaye. I’ll show you rule #6 for one penny and a promise that you won’t disclose.

NAF, I don’t get what you mean by auctioning off everything in a single lot. None of us have any assests like you possess. Please don’t tell me that you’re quitting because of the JSG thing. If that’s the case why not just drop all the stuff he gave you before you turn in your stuff at the end.

1209

NAF: You have played well and deserve First Place here. I would assume that you are claiming first, and bowing out, letting us all fend for second place.

Do I have the right idea here?

1210

Sinjin

Accept your offer #1007.

This automatically voids my offer 12 to Sinjin.

1211

Mahaloth.

It should be obvious what I’m after; learning all the rules before the game is over.This requires knowledge of Rule 7, and my researches tell me that it was a deal Sinjin struck with you that contained a clause that she not reveal the rule.

What consideration would you want from me in order to rescind that clause on the deal with Sinjin? I’d rather you did not ask for my remaining penny, as I suspect that any future deal for a sight of rule 7 will involve that penny.

I would be willing to include a confidentiality clause wrt rule 7 in any future deal with Sinjin.

Your assistance in reaching my goal is appreciated.

1212

More or less.

I really don’t think that any of you can take first from me at this point without really making the game suck. So I am providing an alternative.

Don’t anyone count yourselves out. 2nd place is wide open at this point.

Also, Sinjin, as of my last trade with you, you were nearly tied with Oredigger and Mahaloth. I don’t know where you are now, but at one point you were fighting for the lead.

1213

NAF

Are you at all open to any form of deal that will allow me sight of your copy of rule 3?

Your assistance in reaching my goal will be appreciated.

1214

Sure, agree to the terms of the auction when it is posted and I will give you ownership of rule 3.

1215

NAF :

In Hindsight

Lunch with Rule 10 Inc, or NAF OFFER 0

would have been real good for me. Eh?

1216

In fact, we can get the auction prelims over with now. The only thing that chrisk and I are working out are the mechanics of the auction itself, and that point is moot if not everyone agrees to have the auction.

NAF OFFER AUTION: This offer must be accepted officially by every player or it is void. I will auction off all my items in exchange for 50% of the total value of every players final score.

This is non negotiable.

The auction will consist of every item in my inventory, excluding the rules I own and one 50 cent piece which will serve as insurance against everyone crippling themselves with negative scores in the auction.

The auction will be a silent auction and bidding will consist of points against your own final score. I will not be collecting anything from the auction save for the entrance fee state above in blue. You may each place a single bid for each item you wish to win. You may only send Chrisk one PM containing the bid for each item you wish to bid on. The items are

5 Dimes
2 Fifty Cents
4 Nickels
2 Pennys
1 Quarter
1 Silver Dollar
1 Toonie

Each item will be auctioned off individually (so you bid on all five dime separately not on the lot of five), any item not purchased will be retained by me with the agreement that after the auction concludes I will no longer participate in any trades. My game is over as of the end of the auction.

Chrisk and I still need to finalize the run time of the auction, but I was thinking it would conclude 12 hours before the end of trading. We are also working out how to deal with tie bids and some other details, but I think we have all that solved, Chrisk just hasn’t confirmed that the last pm I sent him is legal yet (though I suspect that he will since it is mostly a rephrasing of his interpretation of one of my earlier ideas).

1217

I think lunch with rule 10 inc could have been good for both of us, but it wasn’t meant to be.

1218

NAF offer MHAYE auction: I give MHaye ownership of rule 3 if he agrees to NAF offer Auction

1219

That sounds like a workable deal. Shall we formalise it?

MHaye Offer 13

NAF will give me his copy of Rule 3 when I accept the terms of his upcoming auction.

Edit

I accept NAF offer MHaye Auction.

1220

Simulposts

Deal

NAF offer MHAYE auction is withdrawn as a duplication of the above.
