Cuddlebeam’s bid is invalid.
card:
It’s valid until pokes’ proposal passes. Doesn’t stop people from bidding at a lower price though.
Publius Scribonius Scholasticus:
No, we came to the conclusion in the other auction that it was invalid because it would cause an illegal value.
card:
pokes came to the conclusion that an auction can’t be closed if the highest bidder can’t pay for their bid because it would cause their cash to become negative. Since cash consists of only positive values, pokes’ action of closing the auction would be illegal since it would cause someone’s cash to be negative. The act of bidding more than you have is not yet illegal or invalid.
