BINGO

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Re: Auction etiquette

AYRT - Personally I'd treat both last day and last minute bids and out-bids the same because that's what 'snipe guards' are for because if you run an auction until a certain time, well, why shouldn't the players be able to bid until that time? As an example, one of my dragons came from an auction where I outbid two other players I think an hour before the week-long auction's end time because I simply didn't see the auction earlier (and they were playing around with minimum 10g increases, ffs). Hell, I was also on the other side too where someone outbid me when I was sleeping - sure it sucks but the rules were clear: you can bid until a certain time, so why be annoyed when players do exactly as is written? (not pointed at you exactly, but more in general)

this 100%. auctions are kind of a type of game and sniping is a valid strategy. you don't see people on eBay whine about things being unfair lol. it's so weird to me that people complain about things that are a non-issue in other auction settings.

Well, you do actually hear people whining about eBay. Especially when they've been sniped by a bot.
