This actually isn’t a valid auction because it doesn’t contain a duration, is it?

Whoa. It’s true. Good find.

Ever since we got the “Auctions” section and its rules, yep.

I’m in a tough spot here. Sphinx’s bid isn’t valid because of the position of the $. Is nobody bidding because of our constitutional crisis here? Either way I’m gonna add 12 hours to the closing time.

Madrid:

I bid $1.

Also as for the constitutional crisis, I suggest that you personally take action to lead the herd as Commissioner, because we’re at a bit of a stalemate here, and I think people would listen to you better than me (because I strongly represent one large category/side of what has happened, instead of being a more neutral/mediating voice).

We don’t have an explicit/official explanation for what has actually happened, so people don’t know what to believe yet, I suspect.

(and I’m also just playing along and voting for now because heck I want to play the game lol, but I still want to know what the hell is actually going on)

I’ve said my piece already, I think it was against Fair Play. Are you done? If the Ruleset gets changed back to no-bullets, will you again revert it to bullets?

If so, then BlogNomic can actually never die (which is a good thing, but I heavily disagree with the method), because even if there is a doomsday rulechange that makes the game (entirely and 100%) unplayable, we can just play the “It’s against Fair Play” card and ignore it and continue on.

It breaks a lot with my view that I’d prefer to keep everything as formal as possible, which is disheartening.

I just don’t know what to think of it all right now.

I bid $1,000,000, and it would be pretty unfair for me to close it right now after I bid.

Madrid:

05-05-2017 10:54:24 UTC

This prevents me from winning this guy with $1 lol.

I concede, Emperor, I won’t bid more.

This auction is now closed. I employ Giorgio for $1 million.
