And anybody who has ever done a timed auction before already expects this to happen.


Well clearly i havent.
Ive known prone for awhile now, didnt think he`d just do it like that.

And the people like me who didnt know about this, now do, so good luck trying to nab your favourite team....

I have 100 fg. I'd say I'm already fucked.

I see both sides, but its still flawed.


Needs to set it up to where if there is no bet for 1 hour then bidding is done. Minimum 8 hours or something.


Exactly. I used an online car auction service once that extended the auction an hour or two until no new action passed.

This just isn't feasible to do on jsp.... I don't understand why people don't get that.

The person with the most fg (who was interested) would win every single time. Not to mention the troll base that would keep these auctions going forever, just because why the fuck not.

Because only a select few people would bid over 4k, and you can only have 3 teams max, and a troll doesn't want to run the risk of spending a lot of fg on a team he doesn't want.

Not only a select few people will bid like that, plenty of people on this sub have 4k+. Only select few teams will have people bidding up to 4k+, because they are bidding on a heavily favored team. So yes, lets draw out 24 hour auctions into week long auctions, just so someone with a lots of fg can end up winning a bigger pot in the end.

Seems like a legit plan
