Updated Slaves for today.

For reference linking to threads on here doesn't really help me that much as I go through the section looking at every thread with new posts. It's easier that way, and I make sure I don't miss anything. But thanks anyway.

The 4 card bid on mrpaper was by me, , not

Not sure where to post but I just wanted to put an idea for future auctions out there.

As it stands I have used all 21 bids and am winning maybe 13 or something. I only have 7 slots so that means 6 players I bid on will not be able to play. It is through no fault of their own they ended up in this position. Because other generals might out bid my choice players I gave myself a large safety net of 1 card bid players to fall back on.

This sucks for them and if i end up having 1 free slot to distribute amongst 6 would be players there is no fair way to do it.

With this in mind, I was thinking I would prefer an auction where players did not feel like they were unfairly left off a team they received a bid on.

I would propose a system like this:

-Generals may only have 7 winning bids at any one time
-If one of the General's winning bids is lost, they may upbid that player or choose a new player to bid on.
-There isn't limit to the number of different players that may be bid on as long as generals only have 7 winning bids at any one time.


What this would mean is that if you got a bid you are in guaranteed a spot on some team in the War

This would also eliminate troll bidding which is the reason I bid the way I did - and hell I even made bids just hoping to raise the cost of some players. The system is not great currently.



Any thoughts on the 7 winning bids only system?

[kitty45]

Nice idea  .I like it,but one question  do you only have 7 choices?

Well, since 24 is the max bid, with your system any general who bids 24 on a player would receive that player automatically (since no one could bid the same amount on him and "steal" him).

[wizelsnarf]

That part would need to be redone Sir Valimont.

The simplest solution is to eliminate 24 cards as the max bid  .

Don't worry, I think you'll be on the team .

Don't think I will though. Atleast it was enough for someone to bid on me
